| 00:17.35 | ekpneo | VoodooZ_log: for your information, after a complete recompile, that devices file doesn't seem to be the one that the devices are made off of |
| 00:18.02 | kergoth | ekpneo: you want the one thats in initscripts, if you're using openslug |
| 00:18.17 | kergoth | ekpneo: it mounts a ramdisk over /dev, so the minimal dev table used at image creation time wont affect that |
| 00:18.26 | kergoth | the one in initscripts is the one used to populate the ramdisk |
| 00:19.01 | ekpneo | kergoth: thansk! |
| 00:19.12 | kergoth | np |
| 00:19.26 | ekpneo | so if I add something to device_table.txt, it will be created after a fresh flash? |
| 00:19.30 | kergoth | the minimal one is basically only the devices necessary to get it to boot to that point |
| 00:19.33 | kergoth | yeah |
| 00:20.12 | ekpneo | ok, because I was going to add an led or someother named device so that one can access the nslu2 led device by default |
| 00:25.56 | kergoth | hmmm. |
| 00:26.41 | ekpneo | if ther eis a more apprpriate name, if this should not be done at all, I understand.. |
| 00:27.05 | kergoth | go ahead, but make sure its specific to the nslu2 |
| 00:27.11 | kergoth | remember that oe is used by more platforms than just this oen |
| 00:28.00 | ekpneo | right... hrmm... n2_leds? |
| 00:28.11 | kergoth | that isnt what i mean |
| 00:28.17 | ekpneo | oh |
| 00:28.27 | ekpneo | oh .. that the entry creating is specific to the nslu2? |
| 00:28.44 | kergoth | cd packages/initscripts/initscripts-1.0 |
| 00:28.46 | kergoth | mkdir nslu2 |
| 00:28.50 | kergoth | cp device_table.txt nslu2/ |
| 00:28.58 | kergoth | edit to your hearts content |
| 00:29.06 | kergoth | it'll automatically use the nslu2 specific version if MACHINE is nslu2. |
| 00:29.12 | ekpneo | oh.. cool.. |
| 00:29.16 | ekpneo | oe is awesome! |
| 00:36.40 | rwhitby-web | [g2]: (was on the phone): why wouldn't we want the /dev/nfs stuff to be boot options read from the last block by the kernel (to stuff it into the command line cause redboot can't) ? |
| 00:38.28 | rwhitby-web | [g2]: I was thinking that if we have enough space in the kernel to enable nfsroot through a usb network adapter, all by static stuff in the kernel, then switchbox should be able to support that. |
| 00:38.57 | rwhitby-web | ka6sox: yes, we could have a last boot option for memory sizes too - good idea! |
| 00:39.09 | rwhitby-web | s/last boot/last block/ |
| 01:03.00 | ka6sox-laptop | rwhitby-web: kewl |
| 01:05.52 | ka6sox-laptop | bbiaw...TX off air...bye |
| 01:06.43 | rwhitby-web | bye |
| 01:07.14 | rwhitby-web | [g2]: so why wouldn't we want the /dev/nfs stuff to be boot options read from the last block by the kernel (to stuff it into the command line cause redboot can't) ? |

| 01:12.48 | DirectQL | hi |
| 01:13.04 | DirectQL | what do you guys think about using the NSLU2 with a webcam? |
| 01:14.01 | ekpneo | DirectQL: sounds likea perfectly good thing to do.. |
| 01:14.17 | DirectQL | where should I start? |
| 01:14.17 | DirectQL | lol |
| 01:14.36 | DirectQL | obviously need to compile my own kernel, no? |
| 01:15.35 | DirectQL | ekpneo: what do you recommend as to setting up the dev enviroment? |
| 01:17.23 | ekpneo | DirectQL: do you want to keep it as a fileserver as well or not? |
| 01:17.39 | ekpneo | DirectQL: because openslug is pretty good.. but I wouldn't be the proper person to ask .. lol |
| 01:18.23 | DirectQL | ekpneo: i do want to use it as a file server |
| 01:18.44 | DirectQL | ekpneo: i am also hopeing i could use it as a webcam |

| 01:20.50 | ekpneo | DirectQL: get to know oe.. it is your friend.. lol |
| 01:31.20 | rwhitby-web | Ksilebo: you got your Treo? |
