| 00:27.02 | Christopher | there we go |
| 00:27.04 | ka6sox-laptop | ~weather ksba |
| 00:27.41 | ka6sox-laptop | its raining |
| 00:28.04 | Christopher | it's been clear here, but cold |
| 00:38.43 | ka6sox-laptop | time to pack it in...cya on the other side! |
| 01:36.51 | [g2] | kas11: ping |
| 01:37.34 | kas11 | [g2]: pong |
| 01:38.09 | [g2] | I tried building anyu2 |
| 01:38.27 | [g2] | looks like the 1.0 of BB really changes stuff |
| 01:38.33 | kas11 | it is a bit out-of-date |
| 01:38.43 | [g2] | buildroot2 is different |
| 01:38.47 | kas11 | yeah...dem darm respawns |
| 01:39.00 | [g2] | ? |
| 01:39.25 | kas11 | yep...I am hoping that bit-bucketing things going to the log will help |
| 01:39.52 | kas11 | you seeing tty1,2 and 3 respawning? |
| 01:40.08 | [g2] | ah.. ok |
| 01:40.28 | [g2] | comment that stuff out in inittab |
| 01:40.44 | [g2] | you just need the serial to start right ? |
| 01:40.55 | kas11 | doesn't help |
| 01:41.19 | kas11 | soemthing in bb init needs quieting down |
| 01:41.19 | [g2] | sure it does |
| 01:41.47 | [g2] | I had the same problem on my arm 2.4 target |
| 01:41.49 | kas11 | ok...it doesn't here...my inittab just starts tty0 |
| 01:41.58 | kas11 | theoretically anyhow |
| 01:42.20 | [g2] | ok, don't start that one |
| 01:42.42 | kas11 | it was working with the rc3 bb... |
| 01:43.25 | [g2] | what's different in the bb .config ? |
| 01:43.33 | kas11 | at least with the timer not running....that may be why it is showing up now...I have non-constant jiffies |
| 01:44.19 | kas11 | I haven't gotten that far yet...just letting uclibc config have its way |
| 01:44.57 | [g2] | you're running an older snapshot right |
| 01:46.12 | kas11 | yeah...uclibc was down earlier when I tried to rebuild so I had it use what I had gotten the other day...2 or 3 days ago |
| 01:46.41 | [g2] | does that use buildroot2 ? |
| 01:46.50 | kas11 | yes |
| 01:47.07 | [g2] | it built ? |
| 01:48.38 | kas11 | yeah...with minor finaggling |
| 01:48.58 | [g2] | you must have used 2.6.8 headers |
| 01:49.03 | kas11 | have to stop and configure uclibc... |
| 01:49.30 | [g2] | sure, xscale, 2.6, |
| 01:49.35 | [g2] | be |
| 01:50.27 | kas11 | names changed a bit in the makefile too...buildroot_armeb...it lost the nofpu |
| 01:51.07 | [g2] | right, cvs is broken wrt buildroot2 |
| 01:51.19 | [g2] | that patch file needs to be redone |
| 01:51.40 | [g2] | or we need to nail it to an old version |
| 01:51.44 | kas11 | I just pushed the wrong button...make apparently isn't finding .patched and .configured in buildroot...so make just did the *wrong* thing |
| 01:53.22 | kas11 | I gotta quit changing the makefile on the fly... |
| 01:53.22 | [g2] | well, I just wanted to update you that the buildroot2 I was using is temporarily borked |
| 01:54.10 | [g2] | I've created a patch file for the linux-kernel-headers-2.6.9, but I've got some issue with ldso during the build, endian issue |
| 01:54.23 | [g2] | <PROTECTED> |
| 01:54.39 | kas11 | as soon as I get the startup thing worked out, I will upload to cvs...right now it is in limbo cuz the mechine def format has changed...so it will break stuff if everything isn't in sync |
| 01:55.09 | [g2] | and won't there be an issue with redboot ? |
| 01:56.08 | kas11 | no...this is just in the ixp4xx kind of stuff... |
| 01:56.51 | [g2] | You're not using the nslu2 machine id, you're using the same was as the Linksys code correct ? |
| 01:57.04 | kas11 | all the arm arches are doing their own thing...this is internal to the kernel build |
| 01:57.20 | kas11 | machine id is 597 now |
| 01:57.28 | [g2] | that's the nslu's |
| 01:57.46 | kas11 | yeah...this build with that correctly now |
| 01:58.02 | kas11 | and I have xscale working too |
| 01:58.38 | [g2] | "I have xscale working too" ??? |
| 01:59.30 | kas11 | I guess I need to diff the whole works...I have a collection on itty-bitty patches...well, mod'ed source for now... |
| 01:59.45 | [g2] | right |
| 02:00.14 | [g2] | I was wondering what you meant by "I have xscale working too" |
| 02:00.18 | kas11 | xscale is showing up in the kerenl boot...wasn't seeing that before |
| 02:00.34 | [g2] | no it was IXP425 right |
| 02:00.44 | kas11 | anyhow it is saying it is armv5te and xscale as it should be |
| 02:01.08 | [g2] | in uname -a |
| 02:01.20 | [g2] | or in dmesg |
| 02:01.31 | kas11 | well, that just looks at how the kernel was built |
| 02:03.39 | [g2] | armv5te or armv5tbe |
| 02:03.58 | [g2] | or armv5tb |
| 02:04.19 | kas11 | CPU: XScale-IXP42x Family [690541f1] Revision 1 (ARMv5TE) |
| 02:04.32 | [g2] | good. |
| 02:05.21 | [g2] | so you've added the stuff in the kernel tree to allow the selection of NSLU2 |
| 02:05.24 | kas11 | I am building big end...I guess xscale can swing either way but we don't wanna bust userland |
| 02:05.31 | kas11 | yep |
| 02:06.03 | [g2] | most excellent |
| 02:06.17 | kas11 | in my local tree...mrakes got the nslu2 registered on the arm devel site but that ddin't buy much |
| 02:06.54 | [g2] | he had an original patch for 2.6.9 |
| 02:06.54 | kas11 | had to download the mach-defs...another patch |
| 02:07.20 | [g2] | are you running bk ? |
| 02:07.23 | kas11 | well...the original patches won't build a working kernel here |
| 02:07.36 | [g2] | nod. |
| 02:08.29 | kas11 | but I waws hip deep in timer things with 2.6.7...so it seemed easier to just move to 2.6.9,,,then I found the bug but I was beyond the point of no return anyhow |
| 02:09.04 | [g2] | np. I'm just following the bread crumbs along the trail |
| 02:09.35 | [g2] | you've got the torch and are running with it |
| 02:10.05 | kas11 | that was a bug in nslu2-setup.c...no timer init...but the format has changed so I just forged ahead like I knew what I was doing |
| 02:11.20 | kas11 | I'll get this mess squared away and commit...then you can figure out the BB init thing ;) |
| 02:12.18 | kas11 | really, 2.6.9 is looking better here than 2.6.7 ever did...but not having a timer would sorta put a crimp in the kernel's style |
| 02:12.59 | [g2] | I'm looking forward to running 2.6.9 on the slug |
| 02:15.37 | kas11 | firing off a new build now... |

| 03:02.48 | classonde | is there an easy way to tell if a disk enclosure uses the genesys chipset? |
| 03:04.31 | jacques | no easy way |
| 03:04.36 | jacques | that I am aware of |
| 03:06.32 | classonde | k |
| 03:08.04 | rwhitby-web | . |
| 03:08.26 | jacques | barring the manufacturer giving out that info on their site, or you taking one apart and looking at the chip |
| 03:08.44 | classonde | Well i've taken one apart but the chip only has a serial number on it |
| 03:09.26 | classonde | but I'm guessing that since my slug doesn't like it, it probably is a genesys |
| 03:09.45 | jacques | oh I missed something - is genesys known not to work with the slug? |
| 03:10.03 | *** join/#nslu2-linux [g2] (~g2@rdu57-6-117.nc.rr.com) |
| 03:10.08 | jacques | have you looked at the database of working enclosures? |
| 03:11.40 | jacques | kas11, any luck on ixp_425 support on 2.6.9 ? |
| 03:12.23 | classonde | I've got one working enclosure, but I got one real cheap.. I figured it was to good to be true |
| 03:13.16 | peteru | where is the DB? |
| 03:13.54 | jacques | hmm I thought it was on the yahoo database section but I dont see it |
| 03:14.30 | kas11 | jacques: yes...for the time being I patched skbuff.h to put mac.ethernet back in that had gotten removed between 2.6.7 and .9...hopefully Intel will fix things in a more robust way eventually...perhaps there is already a patch but I haven't looked |
| 03:14.36 | classonde | looking at the win98 driver. it appears the Back-upQ enclosure is also a genesys. I guess I can always try the OE firmware |
| 03:14.47 | kas11 | on my TODO list ;) |
| 03:15.53 | jacques | kas11, so it's working? cool! |
| 03:17.11 | kas11 | yeppers...we are getting there |

| 03:23.07 | [g2] | kas11, so you've got CSR and ethernet working now too ? |
| 03:24.24 | kas11 | AFAIK...need to have the BB problem worked out before I can give a definitve answer tho...I boot and don't get an opps...but I can't login yet |
| 03:25.35 | rwhitby-web | classonde: Unslung 2.5-alpha has a genesys patch |
| 03:25.40 | kas11 | the oops was my fault...I didn't fix the lost union member in sk_buff properly the first time |
| 03:26.19 | [g2] | can you ping ? |
| 03:26.28 | [g2] | or telnet in ? |
| 03:27.15 | kas11 | still isn't fixed right...but that is between Intel and upstream...Alan Cox's name is on that header...so I am not going to suggest to the LKML that it oughta be changed back ;) |
| 03:27.34 | [g2] | :) |
| 03:28.47 | [g2] | You're getting all the console message right ? |
| 03:29.52 | kas11 | oh yeah...lots of messages...bummer, can't open ttyx |
| 03:30.52 | [g2] | ok, you can always delete init and it'll default to /bin/sh |
| 03:30.55 | kas11 | but I have started this build twice and had to stop and fix bookkeeping errors...bootstrapping is a bit of a pain |
| 03:31.04 | [g2] | or you could add a linuxrc |
| 03:31.40 | [g2] | just copy the ramdisk and mount it locally and change it |
| 03:32.23 | kas11 | oic...we are gonna do semi-advanced linux now, eh?...its all I can do to generate a initrd ;) |
| 03:33.31 | [g2] | hey, it's us against the evil-empire (M$oft) right ? |
| 03:33.48 | kas11 | **G** 10-4 |
| 03:34.16 | [g2] | we may not have $50B, but we go alot of l-o-v-e :) |
| 03:36.06 | kas11 | and fun toys to play with ;) |
| 03:38.00 | [g2] | roger that! |
| 03:38.20 | ka6sox | here here |
| 03:38.43 | [g2] | speaking of fun toys |
| 03:38.53 | [g2] | ka6sox, how's the S3 ? |
| 03:39.21 | ka6sox | working nice...I'm learning how to use the displays and switches to allow to "program" the thing. |
| 03:39.51 | ka6sox | it's a good board. |
| 03:41.15 | [g2] | I was hoping to run something on mine and make the light blink, but it seems it's like a totally bare board |
| 03:41.39 | ka6sox | load up the demo that ships with it. |
| 03:41.39 | [g2] | gotta download ISE and set things up |
| 03:41.44 | ka6sox | its really impressive. |
| 03:41.51 | ka6sox | yeah |
| 03:42.31 | [g2] | I didn't get a CD or anything the only stuff was on via the download |
