**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jan 30 02:59:57 2009 Jan 30 03:00:04 mwester: do you have any more advice for my usb audio drop-out issues? no one has responded to my mailing list post Jan 30 03:00:54 try building a kernel with PREEMPT enabled (defconfig) and see what happens with that. Jan 30 03:01:27 i've never edited defconfig before Jan 30 03:02:33 mwester: i'm still wondering why network transfers in only 1 direction cause the dropouts, but not in the other direction Jan 30 03:03:15 That's the right thing to be wondering; digging to answer it will eventually bring the answer into focus. Jan 30 03:03:29 i don't know what else to look at though Jan 30 03:03:37 I just gave you a suggestion. Jan 30 03:03:39 :) Jan 30 03:05:05 where is the defconfig located? Jan 30 03:07:40 build with OE, the cd to the linux kernel dir, look for the ".config" file -- in that dir, "make ARCH=arm menuconfig" -- in the menus that appear, locate the preempt setting, and enable it - save the result. then delete the tmp/stamps/whatever/linuxwhatever_do_compile file, and build again to build and package an updated kernel. Jan 30 03:09:14 thanks, i'll try to do that, let's see if i can... Jan 30 03:10:04 mwester: do you know if hardcoding of 200 for the rx_copybreak option in via-velocity was from a patch you made? Jan 30 03:11:38 There is only a single one-line patch for the via-velocity that I put in there... and that's a delay in the init sequence specific to the dsmg600 Jan 30 03:26:10 is this the linux kernel dir 'slugos/tmp/work/nslu2be-linux-gnueabi/linux-ixp4xx-2.6.27.8+svnr1085-r2/linux-2.6.27' Jan 30 03:26:30 if it has a .config it is Jan 30 03:28:45 it does Jan 30 03:29:31 to build again, do i run another 'make slugosbe-image'? Jan 30 03:37:18 i *think* i got it... i hope it flashes correctly because i had an issue flashing from SlugOS 4.8-beta on the DSM-G600 to SlugOS 5.2-alpha recently Jan 30 05:24:10 i installed the kernel, but can't install the modules, Package kernel-module-soundcore md5sum mismatch. Either the opkg or the package index are corrupt. Try 'opkg update'. Jan 30 05:24:31 and the ones in the rep don't match the kernel Jan 30 05:28:22 03bzhou * r9481 10optware/trunk/ (Makefile make/dcled.mk): dcled: userland driver for Dream Cheeky USB LED Message Board, added & promoted Jan 30 05:43:52 does anyone know how to force an ipkg to install or how to use the opkg offline root option? Jan 30 06:54:16 scant: wget the specific ipk. remove your ipkg lists file. ipkg install the file. Jan 30 06:54:29 if it's an upgrade, then remove the package from the status file as well. Jan 30 06:59:58 rwhitby: I'm unsure where the ipkg lists file and status file are Jan 30 07:00:10 /usr/lib/opkg or /var/lib/opkg Jan 30 07:01:23 rwhitby: I solved the issue by creating a local feed on my network, but your suggestion is much easier Jan 30 07:01:26 if i can get it working Jan 30 07:04:07 rwhitby: it's not working Jan 30 07:04:45 rwhitby: i tried to install kernel-module-usbhid, ERROR: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for kernel-module-usbhid: * update-modules * kernel-2.6.27.8 * kernel-module-hid * Jan 30 07:05:05 oh, you then have to install them all manually. Jan 30 07:05:14 how do I install them manually? Jan 30 07:05:16 in that case, a local feed *is* easier Jan 30 07:05:24 like extracting the ipk? Jan 30 07:05:53 no, the mechanism I said above - downloading each .ipk, removing lists, removing them from status, opkg installing each file Jan 30 07:05:59 (in dependency order) Jan 30 07:06:40 rwhitby: that's what I did, but I deleted the status file, I think you meant removing the respective packages from the status file, right? Jan 30 07:06:55 oh, deleting the status file is a very bad thing to do Jan 30 07:07:06 yeah I deleted the status file, hehe Jan 30 07:07:17 now it has no idea what you've got installed Jan 30 07:07:54 it's ok, I can re-do everything, I was testing a new kernel Jan 30 07:09:15 and, I think it enabling the preemptive kernel option didn't solve my issue, so I may not have to do this again Jan 30 07:10:25 rwhitby: thanks for helping though Jan 30 07:11:41 no probs - good luck with the dsmg600 stuff. Jan 30 07:14:41 rwhitby: do you use a DSM-G600? I don't think my issue will ever be resolved and I'll have to go back to my NSLU2 Jan 30 07:14:53 I have a dsmg600, but don't use it. Jan 30 07:14:58 (only for testing) Jan 30 07:15:19 I think somethings wrong with the via-velocity driver and I don't have the knowledge to fix it or debug it Jan 30 07:15:20 i mainly use an fsg3, nslu2's and a ts409 now. Jan 30 07:17:19 it was cool in the beginning because I soldered the 10-pin header for the serial port myself, and I've never soldered b4 Jan 30 15:47:44 03bzhou * r9482 10optware/trunk/platforms/packages-fsg3v4.mk: dcled: demoted on fsg3v4 Jan 30 19:01:01 03jomaster * r9483 10optware/trunk/make/crosstool.mk: crosstool: 0.38-> 0.43
