**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Jan 19 02:59:56 2008 Jan 19 04:55:17 rwhitby: I finally got it to compile! My slug's now running 2.6.23.14 SlugOSbe! Jan 19 04:55:55 are there any instructions out there that will tell me how to customize and rebuild the kernel? Jan 19 04:59:59 JRsup1: I don't know of specific instructions Jan 19 05:00:34 However, if you're a bit OE literate, you can check out and edit the default config file to suit your tastes Jan 19 05:01:10 or more depending again on if you know how OE (openembedded) works Jan 19 05:01:29 not really at all... :( Jan 19 05:01:44 I did this once, but it was over a year ago.... Jan 19 05:08:31 a) find the kernel build directory (somewhere beneath the tmp/work directory. Jan 19 05:08:42 b) edit/change/patch as required Jan 19 05:09:22 c) find the kernel bitbake build stamps: tmp/stamps/*/.do_ Jan 19 05:09:47 d) delete the .do_compile file in the stamps directory Jan 19 05:10:23 e) repeat the build; bitbake will notice that the kernel needs recompilation, build it, and then build all packages that depend upon the kernel. Jan 19 05:14:53 I think I found the right defconfig. I think I'll take a snapshot of my vmware system before I muck it up... :) Jan 19 06:04:09 mwester: do I just delete the do_compile? there's a bunch of other do's and I'm thinking I may need to do others...like do_configure Jan 19 06:06:14 JRsup1: Yes, just the do_compile. If you delete the do_configure, it will re-run the autoconf (or equivalent for that bb recipe), which often isnt' what you want at all. :) Jan 19 06:08:02 ok...re-running make CROSSING FINGERS! Jan 19 06:46:53 the kernel compiled fine but there's no gadget drivers on my slug's file system Jan 19 07:01:36 JRsup1: unless you modified the task that assembles the rootfs, there's no reason for OE to add that module (out of the hundreds that get built with the kernel) to the rootfs. Jan 19 07:01:59 Just copy it manually; once it works you can mess with the tasks to add it to the rootfs. Jan 19 07:03:21 where would I find the original module? Jan 19 07:03:48 I've been looking w/o much luck. Jan 19 07:03:56 I thought it would become an ipk Jan 19 07:04:12 Yep, it'll be an ipk too. Jan 19 07:05:03 You'll find the .ko file in the kernel tree, where it would normally go. You'll find the ipk in tmp/deploy/.../ipk/.../kernel-module--.ipk Jan 19 07:08:05 hmmmm....nope. no .ko or .ipk Jan 19 07:08:41 I did modularize it in defconfig Jan 19 07:10:16 looks like gadget support didn't get built, even though I had it recompile the kernel Jan 19 07:10:27 03rwhitby * r986 10kernel/trunk/patches/ (8 files in 2 dirs): Added Freecom DataTank and Network Drive Pro kernel patchsets Jan 19 07:10:50 Then something isn't right with your gadget support -- did you update the makefiles as well? Jan 19 07:11:26 you mean did I run 'make update' as well? no.... Jan 19 07:11:36 No Jan 19 07:11:55 here's where I start sounding like and idiot (if I don't already) Jan 19 07:12:07 ok...how do I do this...? Jan 19 07:12:18 You added a C source file to the kernel tree; did you add the pertinent makefile changes so that the kernel knows to compile the sources? (or did you just run a patch?) Jan 19 07:14:53 All I did was do a 'make menuconfig' in the linux-2.6.23 directory to add usb gadget and file backed gadget support. Then I copied the changes from that config file to the defconfig file one level up Jan 19 07:32:04 Well...sleep is necissary since it's 1:30 am. I'll leave my IRC on...so please post if you have any solutions. THANKS!!!

Jan 19 17:57:13 nope, still asleep Jan 19 17:57:17 :D Jan 19 17:57:22 Hehe Jan 19 17:58:39 I'm looking for some info on mediaextenders that can use a server that runs on the slug, can play radio and can be turned off without having to scan at startup every time. Jan 19 18:01:32 I dunno about that...you might want to ask in #nslu2-general as this channel is mostly developers. Jan 19 18:02:02 Yeah, I did, they're all asleep. :P Jan 19 18:02:12 lazy saturday Jan 19 18:02:29 Guess so. Jan 19 18:02:39 its 10am here. Jan 19 18:02:50 so I'm really just getting moving Jan 19 18:03:23 Yeah, I guess it's pretty early overseas. Here it's 19 already.

I have been testing things out and they work fine for 32M,128M and 256M slugs.

Jan 20 01:32:30 rwhitby: Be happy to. Do I send it to you? Jan 20 01:53:50 Can anyone tell me how and where to send a patch file for consideration? Jan 20 01:54:18 email it to the list and request it be looked at.

Thanks, I will do that. Jan 20 01:55:35 np Jan 20 01:59:06 Sorry for the nob question '#nslu2-linux@yahoogroups.com'? Jan 20 02:08:17 I think I got it. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Jan 20 02:59:57 2008
