Nov 03 03:15:11 no Nov 03 03:15:18 there is an installer Nov 03 03:15:57 http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/install.html Nov 03 03:16:36 yea i just found it too :P Nov 03 03:18:07 so easy...once you get it installed let me know...don't write those last variables to uboot yet Nov 03 03:18:12 well after that is Nov 03 03:26:35 Bryanstein: I have already made more progress with the debian installer Nov 03 03:26:40 its installing right now Nov 03 03:26:52 where the arch uImage doesnt say 'read #### bytes' Nov 03 03:27:22 well of course...because something is foul over there Nov 03 03:28:02 not sure...but something is surely screwed...you changed your mainlineLinux and arcNumber variables before booting arch right? Nov 03 03:28:08 ahem trying to boot it Nov 03 03:28:10 yes Nov 03 03:28:15 :P Nov 03 03:29:42 well just let debian install then I'll give you some very good advice Nov 03 03:31:25 okay! Nov 03 03:32:05 thank you for your help so far! Nov 03 03:51:14 Bryanstein: debian is installing, its downloading everything now Nov 03 03:53:06 why of course it is Nov 03 05:28:36 Bryanstein: if you are still around, the install finished, it rebooted and I interupted the boot process... Nov 03 05:29:15 so I am about to enter the commands at the bottom of this page: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/install.html the 2nd gray box from the bottom, before run bootcmd Nov 03 05:39:22 it begins to load and it stops at 'waiting for root filesystem' Nov 03 05:51:04 okay Bryanstein after it waits for filesystem i get an error which is... Nov 03 06:23:23 Bryanstein: here is a pastebin i will leave for you: http://pastebin.com/m17f4f5eb Nov 03 06:24:04 the error message prints out at lines ~332 Nov 03 08:38:56 f3ar007: there? Nov 03 09:03:48 f3ar007: I think I know what's wrong Nov 03 11:29:25 tbm: hi, which is the difference on *modules-2.6.30-2-kirkwood and *modules-2.6.30-2-kirkwood-di? -di are only meant to be built on di? Nov 03 11:48:14 what is di? Nov 03 11:52:24 viric: debian-installer Nov 03 11:53:41 tbm: on your migration guide.. no need to install any of those *modules-2.6.30-2-kirkwood packages? Nov 03 12:08:55 zumbi: these packages are udebs for the installer Nov 03 12:47:44 zumbi: what OS are you using in the sheevaplug? Nov 03 13:23:20 tbm are you available? Nov 03 13:25:37 f3ar007: find /lib | grep mmc Nov 03 13:27:27 tbm: okay what am i looking for? Nov 03 13:28:05 there is 5 listings, i cant get the output in a pastebin because its connected to another computer... Nov 03 13:28:50 f3ar007: is mmc_block there? I guess it is not Nov 03 13:31:05 tbm: mmc_block is not there Nov 03 13:33:39 f3ar007: then you didn't follow the instructions properly. :) Nov 03 13:33:46 I wonder what's the easiest way is to fix this Nov 03 13:35:29 do you have a tftp server? Nov 03 13:38:07 yes Nov 03 13:39:39 then I suggest you put the installer on the tftp server Nov 03 13:39:41 and load it this way: Nov 03 13:39:46 setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 Nov 03 13:39:46 setenv serverip 192.168.1.2 Nov 03 13:39:46 setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.147 Nov 03 13:39:46 tftpboot 0x0800000 sheevaplug/di/uInitrd Nov 03 13:39:46 tftpboot 0x400000 sheevaplug/di/uImage Nov 03 13:39:48 bootm 0x400000 0x0800000 Nov 03 13:39:52 (change the paths and IP) Nov 03 13:41:10 and in the installer run: Nov 03 13:41:11 http://pastebin.com/m179bf1a0 Nov 03 13:41:31 err, http://pastebin.com/m14b2d4ec Nov 03 13:41:51 tbm: my tftp stopped working as soon as I updated to later u-boot 3.4.19 (ethernet went down after kernel load) (I was using non-debian kernel) Now, solve it, running from SD. Nov 03 13:42:21 zumbi: works fine here Nov 03 13:42:56 tbm: ok, glad to know, maybe it was some misconfiguration on my side Nov 03 13:43:18 tbm: also, is it posible to flash to mtd devices from d-i? Nov 03 13:43:37 flash what? Nov 03 13:43:57 tbm: i thought Per was doing some work on this for his GSoC Nov 03 13:44:29 flash (rootfs, kernel) to the raw flash Nov 03 13:44:46 afaik Per's project was not successful Nov 03 13:44:50 program the flash memory chip (MTD) from d-i Nov 03 13:45:55 so, no yet posible to partition MTD with libpart :-/ Nov 03 13:46:29 i'd like to have a look to this sometime Nov 03 13:46:35 tbm: thanks Nov 03 13:57:42 tbm: once i bootm 0x400000 0x0800000 i need to let it install everything again, correct? Nov 03 13:57:54 f3ar007: no Nov 03 13:57:57 then run the contents of the pastebin Nov 03 13:58:03 ? Nov 03 13:58:07 f3ar007: just start the installer and then use the pastebin commands to fix your system Nov 03 13:58:18 start the installer, and then press "go back" Nov 03 13:58:26 okay Nov 03 13:58:27 and then execute a shell (last but 1 point in the menu) Nov 03 14:05:29 tbm: mount /dev/mmcblock2 /target Nov 03 14:05:37 is that for the second partition? Nov 03 14:05:52 which would make it mmcblk0p2? i think? Nov 03 14:06:52 oh yes Nov 03 14:07:14 sorry. I was thinking of mtd when I wrote this :) Nov 03 14:07:21 mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /target Nov 03 14:07:25 mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /target/boot Nov 03 14:07:37 assuming tht p2 is root and p1 is boot (the Debian default) Nov 03 14:08:08 correct Nov 03 14:08:18 okay i am about to try the commands from the pastebin Nov 03 14:18:01 tbm: it wont mount Nov 03 14:18:07 it says no file or directory found Nov 03 14:18:20 the sd card contains the filesystem on the correct partition Nov 03 14:19:53 ls /dev/mmc* Nov 03 14:20:40 yea they are all there Nov 03 14:20:50 and i check p2 to make sure its the fs Nov 03 14:21:33 and you did: mkdir /target Nov 03 14:21:33 ? Nov 03 14:21:46 yea mkdir -p /targe Nov 03 14:21:47 t Nov 03 14:21:54 lsmod | grep ext Nov 03 14:21:56 and i even tried in /media/target Nov 03 14:22:35 nothing Nov 03 14:23:57 type: exit Nov 03 14:24:12 then continue with the installer - download installer components and go until the partitioner Nov 03 14:24:19 then "go back", open shell and issue the commands Nov 03 14:31:52 okay, its going to take a while though Nov 03 14:32:02 tbm: can i get your email? or are you here alot? Nov 03 14:32:24 f3ar007: but don't do the complete installation. Stop when you reach the partitioner Nov 03 14:32:29 tbm@cyrius.com but I'm around Nov 03 14:33:21 okay, cool, mine is f3ar007@gmail.com Nov 03 14:35:46 tbm: i exited at the partitioner Nov 03 14:35:57 so now im going to the shell Nov 03 14:40:57 tbm: okay that fixed it! Nov 03 14:41:36 ok, good Nov 03 14:41:41 it takes me to the login: prompt Nov 03 14:42:18 tbm: thank you! Nov 03 15:16:27 This is going to be interesting, asking a vendor about the power draw specifications on its graphics card. Nov 03 15:17:35 I am so getting an email back with the reply "You need a 350W power supply in your PC, sir.". I just know it. Nov 03 19:52:30 I could build u-boot with binutils 2.20 I think Nov 03 19:52:40 I got beyond the error I got first, at least. Nov 03 19:52:49 Thanks to #u-boot Nov 03 21:25:09 hey viric ! great! Nov 03 21:25:25 viric: do you have the fix somewhere?
