**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jul 14 02:59:57 2009 Jul 14 05:59:52 My plugcomputer shipped today !!!!!!! Jul 14 06:00:05 Sorry.. had to share the excitement with someone .. LOL Jul 14 06:25:01 mail3asim: congrats :) Jul 14 08:43:21 rabeeh: Thanks.. Jul 14 08:44:34 mail4asim: was it you a couple days ago got an update from globalscale on shipments? Jul 14 08:45:06 Q_Continuum: Yes it was me.. I called the company and spoke with their operator .. Jul 14 08:45:15 and she was able to give me the update on the shipment Jul 14 08:45:31 remember the date you ordered yours, by chance? Jul 14 08:45:54 Q_Continuum: Yes , I ordered mine on 5/25/2009 Jul 14 08:46:06 Q_Continuum: when did you order yours ? Jul 14 08:46:23 ok, I'm about 3 weeks behind yours. lol. 6/19/2009 Jul 14 08:46:37 errr closer to 4 weeks Jul 14 08:46:44 do you live in the US ? Jul 14 08:46:54 yes Jul 14 08:47:02 then call 1-714-632-9239 and get to the operator.. Jul 14 08:47:07 I think you have to press 0 for that Jul 14 08:47:30 and give her your order number and she can tell you if it's going to be shipped soon..or will you have to wait for the shipment they will be getting Jul 14 08:47:32 I'm not horribly concerned, just was curious what the current est delay from order to ship was Jul 14 08:47:33 at the end of the month Jul 14 08:47:48 Hi Jul 14 08:47:49 It'll show up when it shows up :-D Jul 14 08:47:57 hello Jul 14 08:48:03 well, someone else in the group said theirs took like 6 weeks Jul 14 08:48:10 and for me it was like 6+ weeks Jul 14 08:48:13 ok Jul 14 08:48:19 punxos: hello Jul 14 11:39:27 http://tinyurl.com/nkypfa Jul 14 11:39:27 hallo Jul 14 22:15:17 Hi all: We recently got a new batch of sheeva plugs, and my old kernels are not working (getting an "unrecognized/unsupported machine ID " error). Did something change with the runs? Is there some way I can work around this, or do I actually need new kernels? Jul 14 22:26:16 did you set arcNumber=2097 ? Jul 14 22:26:22 and mainlineLinux=yes ? Jul 14 22:27:13 http://www.openplug.org/plugwiki/index.php/Compiling_Linux_Kernel_for_the_Plug_Computer Jul 14 22:29:06 clee: maybe the new sheevaplugs are setting the right mach id while the old ones aren't Jul 14 22:29:15 clee: breaking kernels that expect the old mach id Jul 14 22:29:27 lennert: the only kernels that expect the old mach id are the ones from Marvell, afaik Jul 14 22:29:38 clee: he's perhaps using those Jul 14 22:29:45 ah, yeah Jul 14 22:29:53 that could do it, I guess Jul 14 22:29:53 * clee shrugs Jul 14 22:30:04 either way, it sounds like he kusznir needs to set his arcNumber properly :) Jul 14 22:30:16 and use a new kernel :) Jul 14 22:30:54 Sorry...was in a different screen.... Jul 14 22:31:17 Aparently it didn't take the mainlineLinux=yes command twice...I'm now doing a printenv before trying anything... Jul 14 22:31:25 I did set arcNumber=2097. Jul 14 22:31:46 ah, the correct syntax looks to be 'setenv arcNumber 2097' without an = sign Jul 14 22:31:47 sorry about that Jul 14 22:31:52 the printenv should sort it out Jul 14 22:31:56 Yea, that's what I did, I believe. Jul 14 22:32:02 Anyway, that one shows it correct. Jul 14 22:32:03 and you did saveenv, and then restarted it, right? Jul 14 22:32:32 On the Error: unreconized... line...is the ID at the end what the plug thinks it is, or what the kernel is compiled for? Jul 14 22:32:53 no clue. :) Jul 14 22:32:54 (because there's a different hex number listed under "Available machine support:" Jul 14 22:33:20 And I'm not sure how to tell which one is wrong, or which one I can change (I guess I can change arcNumber and see which one changes...) Jul 14 23:16:23 Ok, my sheeva is now booting well and happy. Jul 14 23:16:35 kusznir: hooray! how'd you fix it? Jul 14 23:16:54 kept setting env variables and printing them until it actually showed the right ones, even after a reset. Jul 14 23:16:57 :) Jul 14 23:17:22 Aparently it did not take the mainlineLinux yes the first 3-5 times I tried to set it. Jul 14 23:17:57 I am curious as to whether there's a way to directly flash the kernel to the mtd from uboot...It seems like there should be. Jul 14 23:18:06 (in this case, I'm running completey from an SD, and I have already compiled the kernel I wanted to use, etc.) Jul 14 23:19:18 I'm also considering using a sheeva for another application I have, and I'm curious as to the capabilities of the included firmware (I've never booted into it; so far we've used them on a project that needed gentoo) Jul 14 23:19:48 I'm interested in running wview (www.wviewweather.com) on it, possibly along with a mail server. Jul 14 23:24:23 Oh, one other comment/question: The sheeva I was working on's MAC address did not match the label on the bottom...is that normal? Is the mac supposed to be specified somewhere? Jul 14 23:24:28 (in uboot or something)? Jul 14 23:28:21 hello I am having troubles with the sheevaplug installer. I can get it to boot the kernel but it dies saying it can't find init Jul 14 23:29:03 well the problem is actually the kernel I guess Jul 14 23:29:24 Everything flashes fine but I can't get the thing to boot fully Jul 14 23:46:24 Anyone alive in here? Jul 14 23:46:47 I checked the wiki and forum and I am not finding things. Seems no one else has my little problem **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Jul 15 02:59:57 2009
