Jun 13 04:35:01 <EnterUserName> has only successfully got LVM2 to work with the NSLU2?
Jun 13 04:35:07 * EnterUserName is now trying to do a custom install k
Jun 13 09:02:54 <spungles> EnterUserName: yeh
Jun 13 09:56:56 <spungles> has anybody seen any issues with USB disks reseting silently?

Jun 13 10:09:50 <tuv> when the usb hub is under-powered.. i needed to plug it into power
Jun 13 10:11:19 <tuv> spungles, it happened to me when the usb hub is under-powered.. i needed to plug it into power
Jun 13 11:57:25 <spungles> tuv: there's no usb hub
Jun 13 11:57:30 <spungles> the disks are powered
Jun 13 22:55:41 <Harvy> hi is there anybody there..?
Jun 14 00:18:42 <tuv> sure there is
Jun 14 01:12:46 <EnterUserName> hi
Jun 14 01:12:59 <EnterUserName> Can anyone here tell me how to customize the kernel for DebianSlug?
Jun 14 01:13:07 <EnterUserName> do i change the config in the /tmp directory\
Jun 14 01:15:04 <EnterUserName> anyone?
Jun 14 02:02:34 <rwhitby> EnterUserName: change defconfig in packages/linux/ixp4xx-kernel/2.6.16/
Jun 14 02:04:56 <EnterUserName> rwhitby: i've been looking around on how to cross-compile
Jun 14 02:05:03 <EnterUserName> for debian packages.. havent had much luck
Jun 14 02:05:15 <EnterUserName> gthe OpenSlugDebian does not work (the instructions)
Jun 14 02:05:40 <EnterUserName> Do i use the MasterMake file? with Slugos?
Jun 14 02:05:57 <rwhitby> EnterUserName: please be precise in your terminology.
Jun 14 02:06:02 <rwhitby> Do you want to:
Jun 14 02:06:11 <rwhitby> a) recompile SlugOS/LE kernel?
Jun 14 02:06:21 <rwhitby> b) compile OpenEmbedded packages for SlugOS?
Jun 14 02:06:36 <EnterUserName> Ok. Let me explain it more i think i want to do both but here it goes
Jun 14 02:06:40 <EnterUserName> 1. I want to recompile the kernel
Jun 14 02:06:43 <rwhitby> c) compile Debian packages for a system running either a Debian/NSLU2 or DebianSlug kernel and modules?
Jun 14 02:06:51 <EnterUserName> ahh
Jun 14 02:06:52 <EnterUserName> a and c
Jun 14 02:07:03 <EnterUserName> Compile Kernel and Compile new package
Jun 14 02:07:09 <rwhitby> MasterMakefile for a.  Debian dpkg-* for c.
Jun 14 02:07:36 <rwhitby> e.g. dpkg-buildpackage
Jun 14 02:07:40 <EnterUserName> hmm
Jun 14 02:07:58 <rwhitby> There is nothing special about Debian on an NSLU2 other than the kernel and modules.  Everything is just plain Debian development.
Jun 14 02:08:02 <EnterUserName> does that not use gcc?
Jun 14 02:08:11 <EnterUserName> i usually use ./configure and make
Jun 14 02:08:11 <rwhitby> (Note that plain Debian development is native compilation)
Jun 14 02:08:16 <EnterUserName> ahh ok
Jun 14 02:08:34 <rwhitby> if you're using ./configure and make, then you're not compiling a Debian package, are you?
Jun 14 02:08:42 <rwhitby> you're just compiling a piece of software.
Jun 14 02:08:43 <EnterUserName> oh im just compiling a binary
Jun 14 02:08:44 <EnterUserName> yes
Jun 14 02:08:50 <EnterUserName> i want to be able ot just compile the binary ..
Jun 14 02:09:00 <EnterUserName> so you use the NLUS2 to compile the packages?
Jun 14 02:09:07 <EnterUserName> (hence native on it)
Jun 14 02:09:15 <rwhitby> then just apt-get install build-essential and compile the package.
Jun 14 02:09:26 <rwhitby> if you want to do native compilation, yes.
Jun 14 02:09:59 <rwhitby> If you want to cross compile, then use OpenEmbedded or some other cross-compilaton system.  (crosstool, scratchbox, http://www.emdebian.org/, ...)
Jun 14 02:10:14 <EnterUserName> thank you
Jun 14 02:10:22 <rwhitby> But then you're just cross-compiling some software, not a Debian package.
Jun 14 02:10:36 <rwhitby> You just happen to be running the result on a Debian system.
Jun 14 02:10:42 <EnterUserName> yup.. thank you
Jun 14 02:12:06 <rwhitby> For that type of thing, I personally use the MasterMakefile and create a new OE package.  Or I natively compile it on the Slug and make a Debian package.  Or I use the cross-compiler that the MasterMakefile builds, and just set CC to that for manual builds.
Jun 14 02:12:32 <EnterUserName> oh i think the mastermake file is a good idea
Jun 14 02:12:33 <rwhitby> (e.g. when we test out a new kernel in the nslu2 kernel CVS module at nslu.sf.net)
Jun 14 02:13:03 <rwhitby> But just be clear that the MasterMakefile has absolutely nothing to do with Debian packaging.
Jun 14 02:13:11 <EnterUserName> yup i understand
Jun 14 02:14:52 <EnterUserName> rwhity: one last question where is the gcc located in the MasterMakefile?
Jun 14 02:15:00 <EnterUserName> erk in the slug file directory
Jun 14 02:22:56 <rwhitby> OE builds it.  Look in tmp/staging/<target>/bin
Jun 14 02:23:21 <rwhitby> it'll be something like arm-linux-gcc
Jun 14 02:25:13 <EnterUserName> yup found it
Jun 14 02:25:19 <EnterUserName> /slug/debianslug/tmp/cross/bin
Jun 14 02:27:00 <EnterUserName> rhwhitby: sorry .. i know i asked this before.. which kernel do i want nslu-kernel or nslu-kernel-linksys?
Jun 14 02:30:24 <EnterUserName> hrm.. rwhitby: im looking in /slug/debians/slug/openembedded/packages
Jun 14 02:36:45 <EnterUserName> i found it :) the defconfig right?in ix..directory
