**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Jun 02 03:00:09 2018 Jun 02 05:12:58 Tofe: pong Jun 02 06:29:23 bshah: I solved my issue; I was playing around with mainline kernel, and wondered why there is no "zImage-dtb" target; but actually the usual zImage should be fine, the dtb are already merged Jun 02 06:36:40 Tofe: btw, what upstream you're using for mainline kernel? Jun 02 06:42:10 bshah: well for N5 I obviously took github.com/flto/linux.git, but otherwise, let me check Jun 02 06:46:21 git.yoctoproject.org/linux-yocto-4.10.git Jun 02 06:51:54 morning Jun 02 07:21:33 Tofe: I suggest to use : http://github.com/postmarketOS/linux-postmarketos (qcom branch) Jun 02 07:21:45 it's same as flto's kernel + some more new fixes Jun 02 07:36:38 ok thanks Jun 02 07:41:12 well anyway it's mainly to see how much effort that would be Jun 02 07:42:38 bshah: https://github.com/postmarketOS/linux-postmarketos/commit/18521297091e90c8b52efaaed58e149a96f53a01 it's how it was done in 3.4 ? :p Jun 02 08:56:02 Tofe: I mean.. it was not entirely my patch.. it's wrong authorship :P Jun 02 09:41:16 Tofe: i had to use a similar patch on my cancro to prevent kernel panics while letting systemd mount partitions Jun 02 09:43:54 ah ok, I guess it's a concurrent access issue somehow Jun 02 09:46:30 (FWIW, the patch was suggested by robclark, the maintainer for freedreno and msm_drm subsystem, it's just patch was in form of diff and not email-formatted-patch Jun 02 09:46:31 ) Jun 02 09:52:23 bshah: (ok !) Jun 02 15:31:06 bshah: let's say my mainline kernel doesn't boot, how did you debug that ? Jun 02 16:27:43 Tofe: that 3.5 mm to serial connection? that's one way Jun 02 16:29:41 https://www.optiv.com/blog/building-a-nexus-4-uart-debug-cable Jun 02 16:30:14 i think someone even made a fb console patch that lets you display kernel messages on your android display Jun 02 16:31:34 if your kernel is segfaulting etc.. while loading modules like wifi etc.. then you will have luck with pstore/last_kmsg Jun 02 18:32:48 Herrie, Herrie|2 are you about? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Jun 03 03:00:01 2018
