Jan 21 09:30:27 <snkt> hello
Jan 21 09:30:57 <snkt> can someone  help me how to find physical memory address for kernel?
Jan 21 19:13:33 <grant__> how can I figure out which bootargs were passed with ubuntu-12.04-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+omap4?
Jan 21 19:14:07 <grant__> without booting it
Jan 21 19:15:52 <rbasak> grant__: so you have it booted now, and you don't want to reboot it? Or you don't have it booted at all, don't want to boot it, but want to know what was used in the past?
Jan 21 19:16:16 <grant__> rbasask: don't want to boot it
Jan 21 19:16:51 <rbasak> I guess you could look at the uEnv.txt or boot.scr or whatever it uses.
Jan 21 19:16:56 <ogra_> as i said in the other channel, chekc the first (fat) artition
Jan 21 19:17:01 <ogra_> *partition
Jan 21 19:17:13 <ogra_> right, its either uEnv.txt or preEnv.txt
Jan 21 19:17:28 <ogra_> hmm
Jan 21 19:17:41 <ogra_> in 12.04 it could even be that there still was a boot.scr
Jan 21 19:18:37 <ogra_> (uboot changed a lot around that time)
Jan 21 19:18:48 <grant__> how can I grab those files without formatting an SD card?
Jan 21 19:19:21 <ogra_> you could unzip the img, and loop mount the partition (needs an offset)
Jan 21 19:19:53 * ogra_ guesses just dd'ing is faster than fiddling with that ... but up to you indeed :)
Jan 21 19:21:00 <grant__> I'm downloading ubuntu-12.04-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+omap4.img.gz now and then extract, and mount the resulting img?
Jan 21 19:21:15 <ogra_> no
Jan 21 19:21:21 <ogra_> you mount the first ppartition of it
Jan 21 19:22:09 <grant__> OK, how can I figure that offset?
Jan 21 19:22:28 <ogra_> google :) there are tons of howtos for that
Jan 21 19:22:36 <grant__> ok
Jan 21 19:22:48 <ogra_> "mount image partition with offset"
Jan 21 19:22:51 <ogra_> or some such
Jan 21 19:23:59 <grant__> looks like: start sector * size of a sector in bytes from fdisk
Jan 21 19:24:12 <ogra_> yeah, something like that
Jan 21 19:28:33 <grant__> brb
Jan 21 19:44:29 <grant__> I grabbed everything from the boot partition.  There is no uEnv.txt and there isn't anything interesting in boot.scr but I can at least try to boot Gentoo with these boot files and see what happens.
Jan 21 19:45:41 <grant__> The issue I'm having is xf86-video-omap segfaults with the ti-omap4 kernel.  It looks like ubuntu instead used xf86-video-omap though, and Xorg does start that way successfully but there is no output to the screen.
Jan 21 19:46:10 <grant__> The point of all this is to load pvr-omap4 under the ti-omap4 kernel since it doesn't compile under the latest kernel.
Jan 21 19:46:41 <grant__> I meant to say ubuntu instead used *xf86-video-fbdev*
Jan 21 20:11:44 <infinity> setenv bootargs vram=32M mem=456M@0x80000000 mem=512M@0xA0000000 fixrtc quiet splash
Jan 21 20:11:53 <infinity> grant__: ^-- That's what the precise boot.scr contains.
Jan 21 20:21:50 <grant__> infinity: thanks, I saw that and it's not as enligtening as I hoped :)
Jan 21 21:37:59 <grant__> how can I make x86-video-fbdev utilize the pvr-omap4 module?
Jan 21 21:38:17 <grant__> the module compiles and loads and Xorg starts but I still can't use XV
