| 11:13.28 | fjp | lkcl: When you make changes in an initrd, you must clean arch/arm/bootp/*.o* before rebuilding. Otherwise the old initrd will continue to be used. |
| 11:13.43 | lkcl | ohh, ok. |
| 11:13.44 | lkcl | yuk |
| 11:14.40 | fjp | I've now scripted most of what's needed, including copying the image to SD card. |
| 11:14.48 | fjp | So I can test fairly efficiently. |
| 11:15.28 | fjp | Trying with udev from Lenny now to see if I can get D-I to boot further. |
| 11:16.06 | fjp | If that does not work, I'll try building the Lenny version of D-I in a Lenny chroot. |
| 11:16.31 | fjp | Hmm. I'd probably have to go back to Sarge. Yuck. |
| 12:13.26 | fjp | Damn. It's not doing anything anymore (init killed immediately). And I haven't got a clue what changed. |
| 12:40.07 | fjp | I get weirdly different results with only minor changes in the initrd. No idea what's going on exactly. |
| 12:40.35 | fjp | I suspect that something is wrong with how the initrd gets extracted, but no clue how/what. |
| 14:42.54 | lkcl | bizarre |

| 18:40.43 | SQlvpapir | fjp & lkcl did you have any luck with d-i? |
| 18:41.30 | fjp | SQlvpapir: Yes and no. |
| 18:42.14 | fjp | We have a very nice method to boot it, but it's not quite working reliably yet. |
| 18:42.20 | SQlvpapir | fjp, did you get past the panic you spoke about in here? |
| 18:42.33 | fjp | That's the problem. |
| 18:43.00 | SQlvpapir | ok :) its just that the mailing list is so quiet that its a bit hard to stay updated when not having a machine idling in here :) |
| 18:43.34 | fjp | I've had one image where I got to 'udev requires kernel >2.6.26' and 'cannot mount /proc: device busy'. |
| 18:43.34 | SQlvpapir | if there is anything you would like me to test out just ask:) |
| 18:43.45 | fjp | So in that case init did get run. |
| 18:44.23 | fjp | But if I make very minor changes only in /init, I get either nothing or a message that init got killed. |
| 18:45.09 | fjp | Best wait until we have a repository for the kernel up. Then it will be easier to coordinate. |
| 18:45.33 | SQlvpapir | sure |
| 18:46.09 | fjp | is waiting for the alioth project to be accepted |
| 18:46.23 | fjp | Will probably ping the admins tomorrow. |
| 18:49.05 | fjp | SQlvpapir: There is the ibot log for the channel |
| 18:51.10 | fjp | See /topic |
| 21:02.58 | lkcl | fjp: diid you try using an ext3 instead of cpio? |
| 21:06.36 | mnemoc | mkimage always talks about initrd, not initramfs (cpio) |
| 22:00.08 | fjp | mnemoc: I'm not using mkimage |
| 22:04.49 | mnemoc | ic |
| 22:15.42 | fjp | mnemoc: Also, initrd is a generic term that covers all types of initial ram disk. Including both old style (ext2/ext3/cramfs) initrds and cpio based initramfs. |
| 22:16.11 | fjp | See my last mail from yesterday for what I am using. |
