Jan 29 12:53:11 <lilstevie> is anyone about who knows about troubleshooting initramfs :p
Jan 29 13:09:33 <lool> lilstevie: grep maybe_break /usr/share/initramfs-tools -r
Jan 29 13:09:51 <lool> lilstevie: pass break=top, break=modules etc. on your cmdline, and you're good to debug
Jan 29 13:09:57 <lool> lilstevie: Now you know as much as I do  :-)
Jan 29 13:10:03 <lilstevie> haha
Jan 29 13:10:13 <lilstevie> i actually get stuck at the command line
Jan 29 13:10:27 <lilstevie> and i have no input devices
Jan 29 13:11:34 <lilstevie> i need to find out where my rootfs lays under ubuntus /dev structure :p
Jan 29 13:13:10 <ogra> lilstevie, make sure udev runs or that you have support for your input devices compiled in
Jan 29 13:13:44 <ogra> is that an ubuntu kernel or your own build
Jan 29 13:13:56 <lilstevie> i have nil in the sense of input devices without touch
Jan 29 13:14:18 <lilstevie> and it is a hybrid kern
Jan 29 13:14:28 <ogra> hybrid ??
Jan 29 13:14:48 <lilstevie> well parts of it are for the device, minus the android stuff
Jan 29 13:15:28 <ogra> have you compiled it yourself ?
Jan 29 13:15:33 <lilstevie> yes
Jan 29 13:16:05 <ogra> did you make sure all options needed for a recent udev are enabled (i.e. signalfd comes to mind)
Jan 29 13:16:24 <lilstevie> no i didnt
Jan 29 13:16:38 <ogra> k, that should be the first step you take
Jan 29 13:17:01 <ogra> then make sure that all your modules for your input devices are in your rootfs before rolling the initrd
Jan 29 13:17:13 <ogra> they should end up in the initrd
Jan 29 13:17:27 <ogra> and be automatically loaded by udev
Jan 29 13:18:09 <lilstevie> all of the drivers modules are in place, but i have a lack of input without a touch keyboard
Jan 29 13:18:22 <ogra> ah
Jan 29 13:18:28 <ogra> how about usb ?
Jan 29 13:18:45 <ogra> can you attach a usb kbd ?
Jan 29 13:18:56 <lilstevie> no
Jan 29 13:19:03 <ogra> hmm, tricky
Jan 29 13:19:14 <lilstevie> there is a keyboard attachment but i dont have one myself
Jan 29 13:19:51 <ogra> then i assume its guesswork for the root= cmdline option
Jan 29 13:20:26 <lilstevie> under the android mapping it is /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
Jan 29 13:20:38 <lilstevie> but i have no idea here :/
Jan 29 13:20:57 <ogra> well, if its the same kernel it might end up with the same name
Jan 29 13:21:17 <ogra> else i would just try /dev/mmcblk0p3
Jan 29 13:21:22 <lilstevie> ok
Jan 29 13:22:07 <lilstevie> so are there any specific kernel options that i should be looking for to enable udev support
Jan 29 13:22:24 <ogra> google for it, i dont know all of them from the top of my head
Jan 29 13:22:34 <ogra> signalfd is definitely one
Jan 29 13:23:23 <ogra> syvipc and ipc_ns too i think
Jan 29 13:23:35 <ogra> and sysvipc_sysctl
Jan 29 13:24:00 <ogra> google might be more precise though
Jan 29 13:29:42 * ogra is out for the day
Jan 29 13:35:24 <lilstevie> later ogra
Jan 29 13:35:26 <lilstevie> and thanks
Jan 29 13:35:42 <lilstevie> i had 1 option in the kernel config that would have prevented udev working
Jan 29 13:40:30 <lool> lilstevie: Which one?
Jan 29 13:47:52 <lilstevie> depreciated hotplug manager
Jan 29 21:25:54 <TheUni> robbiew: ping
Jan 29 21:29:08 <TheUni> robbiew:  mind setting 458637 to verified when you get a chance? It's blocking our bugfix release for xbmc live
