| 00:13.44 | ByronT | kergoth, how's the lip? |
| 00:14.01 | kergoth | fine |
| 00:14.17 | kergoth | looked online, apparently its supposed to stay swollen for 7-10 days, so by early next week it should be less funny looking :) |
| 00:14.18 | ByronT | keeping up with the mouthwashing? |
| 00:14.24 | kergoth | yeah |
| 00:14.37 | ByronT | that's got to be the biggest pain of it... |
| 00:14.44 | kergoth | on the plus side, this has seriously improved my oral hiegene(sp?) |
| 00:15.06 | ByronT | so *that's* why you did it.... |
| 00:15.09 | kergoth | hehe |
| 00:15.17 | jp30-work | kergoth, thanks for the comment on libiconv, that confirms what I thought. i might look at declaring war on use of libiconv in unslung. |
| 00:15.25 | kergoth | no problem |

| 00:17.07 | kergoth | i wish malloc() would stop segfaulting :( |
| 00:17.08 | jp30-work | the reason people started using it i think is that the gconv modules were missing from the firmware, but I have now packaged them up anyway |
| 00:17.22 | ByronT | that bright baby blue seems to be popular these days |
| 00:17.40 | jp30-work | gotta run... |
| 00:18.17 | ByronT | a friend of mine did that color, he had to go platinum first, and then re-dyed to the blue |
| 00:18.52 | kergoth | ByronT: having to bleach first sucks. the color can fade out in a matter of days |

| 12:51.31 | rwhitby-away | perlguru: can't be easily fixed in unslung, cause we use the linksys binary module (not the one built in oe), This is due to intel licensing issues (the same ones which are holding up the openslug binary release). |
| 12:52.21 | siddy-away | rwhitby-away, the ethernet-module (which is the one that needs a patch) is actually GPL. |

| 14:50.05 | [g2] | Hmmmm |
| 14:51.22 | [g2] | HEH.... I've got stock linksys reloaded for the flash..... NO WONDER it looks different :) |
| 14:51.47 | [g2] | Yeah I think so. I was going to verify and will on the next flash |
| 14:52.02 | siddy-away | I have _very_ much alignment-errors when using ipv6 (atm 162508 (growing)), I will hunt those down in some days/weeks, so I might also find your 2706. |
| 14:52.36 | [g2] | But I'm changing it to add the fix [cc]smart suggested and I was going to make Interrupt driver ixp standard |
| 14:52.58 | [g2] | are your errors system or user-land |
| 14:53.03 | [g2] | I'd guess user land |
| 14:53.10 | siddy-away | no, system |
| 14:53.46 | [g2] | Are you using a usb-ethernet adapter ? |
| 14:53.49 | siddy-away | I had already started to set up a debugging-mechanism for those in 2.6.9, I'll port it to 2.6.11 someday and start fixing them. |
| 14:54.00 | siddy-away | no, they are caused by IPv6, that's for sure! |
| 14:54.30 | siddy-away | like: you answer in here, I get 1 alignment-error ;) |
| 14:54.31 | [g2] | Ok.. I'd like to find the first 2706 errors |
| 14:55.21 | [g2] | and get that alignment error again and again.... :) |
| 14:55.31 | siddy-away | yep... |
| 14:55.45 | siddy-away | I'm at 163466 now... ;) |
| 14:55.57 | [g2] | is a performance sap |
| 14:56.56 | siddy-away | yeah, I don't really notice it, but the thought of 163466 alignment-trap is frightening... |
| 15:25.09 | bob_tm-sick | I get very strange timing results from the flash, so I must be doing something wrong. Hard disk is about 8 times faster on read according to my timings. |
| 15:25.24 | bob_tm-sick | (making sure that nothing is in the cache) |
| 15:26.24 | bob_tm-sick | Anybody looked into flash read speed? |
| 15:27.57 | bob_tm-sick | Could be a driver thing. I copy the whole rootfs block to /dev/null and it takes more than 6 secs. A file of similar size on HD takes 0.8 secs |

| 15:54.25 | chrta | great |
| 15:54.34 | [g2] | the ext3 modules didn't get build with a change that rwhitby made |
| 15:54.55 | chrta | i read in the logs that someone needs a serial modded nslu2? |

| 15:56.35 | [g2] | rwhitby-away, Ping |
| 15:56.39 | chrta | but it does not mount at boottime |
| 15:57.24 | [g2] | I think you can add ext3 to be automatically loaded |
| 15:57.51 | [g2] | or when a mount -t ext3 occurs it automatically loads the module |
| 15:58.03 | [g2] | are you booting to the hd ? |
| 15:58.33 | [g2] | we should probably change switchbox to load the ext3 driver if it's there |
| 15:58.42 | chrta | yes, the bootmsg is: cannot find valid ?? at /dev/sda1, using ?? as root |
| 15:59.14 | chrta | where can i find instructions to do this? i don't know switchbox |

| 15:59.40 | chrta | this is the message |
| 16:00.05 | [g2] | right that's the switchbox shell fallback |
| 16:00.27 | [g2] | it expects the driver to already be loaded |
| 16:00.51 | [g2] | because with 2.6.9 they were build into the kernel |
| 16:00.52 | chrta | -> i need something like the initrd on my host |
| 16:01.20 | [g2] | chrta do you need 2.6.11 right this moment ? |
| 16:01.33 | [g2] | 2.6.9 should work for you |
| 16:01.41 | [g2] | on the boot anyway :) |
| 16:01.54 | chrta | but i get kernelpanic in 2.6.9 using samba |
| 16:02.11 | [g2] | and the panic goes away in 2.6.11 ? |
| 16:02.11 | chrta | i want to test 2.6.11 if it is fixed |
| 16:02.31 | chrta | i don't know. i need my hdd as root to install samba |
| 16:03.01 | [g2] | you can load the ext3 driver from the shell, mount the hd and just chroot into it |
| 16:03.05 | chrta | if i copy many files i only get the "nobody cares" error, but no lockup |
| 16:03.42 | chrta | chroot /dev/sda1 , thats all? |

| 16:09.29 | [g2] | The ones you commented out :) |
| 16:09.36 | rwhitby | I'm sure you can do what you want in bitbake/oe, but it would probably need custom python. |
| 16:09.46 | rwhitby | So just ext3 and jbd? |
| 16:09.49 | [g2] | yes |
| 16:10.31 | [g2] | And we should probably modify switchbox to look for the modules on the drive before mounting -t ext3 |
| 16:10.41 | rwhitby | the only problem is that switchbox expects ext3 to be compiled in, so if you make them modules then you will break switchbox |

| 16:12.39 | [g2] | I think it's nice to mount the hd with ext3 and not make the users remount with ext3 |
| 16:12.55 | [g2] | it's nice if it can be supported the way that it is |
| 16:13.11 | rwhitby | patches welcome :-) |
| 16:13.13 | [g2] | Our real issue is the kernel size and Redboot |
| 16:13.47 | rwhitby | there must be lots of other dross in the kernel that we don't need which can go to make space for the things which we do need (like usb, ext3, etc) |
| 16:13.55 | chrta | i cannot install samba after chroot :-( no space left on device at /etc |
| 16:14.24 | rwhitby | [g2]: *that*'s what we should be focusing on, rather than making ext3 a module (when it is used every time someone boots the box) |
| 16:15.33 | [g2] | rwhitby, good point about the ext3 module / no module |
| 16:15.59 | [g2] | however, a big base is on 2.6.11 |
| 16:16.00 | rwhitby | giel made a list of things which could be removed/made modules. We should act on that |
| 16:16.18 | [g2] | I may just move the baseline to 2.6.11 |
| 16:16.28 | [g2] | because that's what ppl are using |
| 16:16.42 | rwhitby | fine, but make sure you don't break things when doing it. making ext3 a module breaks switchbox |
| 16:17.51 | rwhitby | so we're gonna delay a beta release indefinitely then? cause that's what moving the baseline just before a beta release is ready to go out will do .... |
| 16:18.28 | [g2] | rwhitby, there are 2 issues for beta |
| 16:18.44 | [g2] | 1/ Intel IP and redistribution which is under investigation |
| 16:18.48 | rwhitby | yep |
| 16:18.55 | [g2] | 2/ the EHCI issue underload |
| 16:19.07 | rwhitby | yep, which is not solved by 2.6.11 |
| 16:19.19 | [g2] | I didn't say it was |
| 16:19.36 | [g2] | However I only testing on 2.6.11 so it'll be fixed there first |
| 16:19.53 | [g2] | I'm not aware of any one else looking into it |
| 16:20.21 | [g2] | In the meantime 2.6.11 is getting air time from me and several others |
| 16:21.05 | rwhitby | as I said, I want us to be testing 2.6.11 too. but if the licensing is solved tomorrow, what are you going to do about a beta release? |
| 16:21.06 | [g2] | so I think 2.6.11 will be adequately tested |
| 16:21.39 | [g2] | IMHO I'd hold up the beta for the EHCI fix |
| 16:21.54 | rwhitby | ok, so add to the punchlist making switchbox and other things work with ext3 as a module. |
| 16:22.36 | [g2] | We could also just boot directly to jffs2 |
| 16:22.40 | [g2] | until we fix switchbox |
| 16:22.42 | rwhitby | I really don't care whether we decide on 2.6.9 or 2.6.11. What I do care about is that the effect of that decision is flowed through to *all* affected items. |
| 16:23.04 | rwhitby | At the moment we seem to be in limbo between 2.6.9 and 2.6.11 |
| 16:23.26 | [g2] | I'm working on 2.6.11 I've to 2 changes I'm about to check in |
| 16:23.46 | [g2] | I've changed the ixp driver to be interrupt driven |
| 16:24.07 | rwhitby | We shouldn't change a baseline until we have identified *all* the things which need to be changed to effect that baseline update. That's why I put things back at 2.6.9, cause the analysis of a move to 2.6.11 (esp the ext3 module) had not been done. |
| 16:24.11 | [g2] | and I've put the suggestion [cc]smart had about booting without the gateway defined in |
| 16:24.22 | rwhitby | both excellent fixes |
| 16:24.43 | [g2] | right and I'm cleaning up from your changes |
| 16:24.55 | rwhitby | Now my statement about baselines is only relevant if we are intending to release a beta. |
| 16:25.09 | rwhitby | If we are intending to remain as alpha, then we can change what we want, when we want. |
| 16:26.02 | [g2] | I'm intending to make it work as best I can |
| 16:26.15 | rwhitby | Anyway, I need to sleep. I'll support whatever decision you make. |
| 16:26.26 | [g2] | sweet dreams |
| 16:26.33 | [g2] | for now I'll leave it as is |
| 16:27.05 | [g2] | THX for your help |
| 16:27.07 | rwhitby | I strongly suggest looking at giel's kernel list, and using that to give us ext3 back compiled in, and some free space as well. |
| 16:27.27 | rwhitby | then we can smoothly transition to 2.6.11 |
| 16:28.08 | rwhitby | (I too believe that the testing 2.6.11 is getting is enough for a beta, as long as everything else is in sync with that change) |
| 16:28.30 | rwhitby | It's the "everything in sync" which is my only reservation about moving to 2.6.11 |
| 16:29.05 | rwhitby | ok, that's my rant for this evening :-) |

| 16:52.32 | snotling | ah i'm interested :) |
| 16:52.38 | ByronT | APEX |
| 16:53.05 | siddy | [g2], I just booted my alignment-debug-kernel. |
| 16:53.13 | [g2] | siddy, cool |
| 16:53.38 | [g2] | snotling, APEX is the bootload replacement we're working on beewoolie wrote it |
| 16:53.47 | snotling | ByronT/g2: is this APEX stable ? and easy/reliable to flash ? |
| 16:53.48 | [g2] | it boots Unslung and OpenSlug |
| 16:53.50 | siddy | so, my slug should already know where the problems are, I just have to squeeze that info out of it... |
| 16:53.58 | siddy | only a matter of hours... ;) |
| 16:54.31 | [g2] | snotling, it's works we're checking out one issue on the stability of the copy of the data from flash |
| 16:54.39 | [g2] | You can build and run it from memory |
| 16:54.51 | [g2] | dyoung, has been running it from flash |
| 16:55.55 | [g2] | snotling, if your are serious about it you should join #openjtag where we talk about it and other bootloader more often |
| 16:56.27 | [g2] | siddy, how are you going to squeeze it out ? |
| 16:56.38 | snotling | g2: ok i'll try to build it. BTW what are its advantages over RedBoot ? why not compile a RedBoot w/ more features ? |
| 16:57.17 | [g2] | snotling, the learning curve on Redboot much bigger |
| 16:57.29 | [g2] | Redboot is bloated in our minds |
| 16:57.38 | giel | i have jtag access at work |
| 16:57.43 | [g2] | and not very clean to maintain |
| 16:57.46 | siddy | [g2], I saved the ptrs to the failing instrutions in an exported array, so I will now access that array via a kernel-module, which has to be written. |
| 16:57.47 | giel | that is, i've found a multiIce |

| 16:58.11 | [g2] | ~nslu2-rules |
| 16:58.12 | jbot | extra, extra, read all about it, nslu2-rules is 1) Those who ask the questions, update the wiki, 2) Those who complain about the doco, update the wiki, 3) Friends don't let friends flash custom firmware without confirmed RedBoot access, 4) Friends don't let friends flash custom bootloaders without confirmed JTAG access. |
| 16:58.19 | giel | so i might take my slug to work and try some bootloader experiments |
| 16:58.22 | [g2] | ~botsnack |
| 16:58.22 | jbot | aw, gee, [g2] |
| 16:58.25 | [g2] | #4 |
| 16:58.33 | giel | yeah, first check if it works :) |
| 16:58.34 | snotling | g2: i see. my problem is that i don't have JTAG access to my board (poor soldering skills) so my fiddling w/ bootloaders may be a bit dangerous |
| 16:58.51 | giel | snotling: jtag requires more than just solderintg |
| 16:58.52 | giel | -t |
| 16:59.20 | [g2] | snotling, right After we verify it some more I think ppl like you may be willing to risk the flash |
| 16:59.41 | [g2] | giel, actually it's like 6 wires and a $19 connector and a bunch of time |
| 16:59.55 | giel | ah ok |
| 16:59.56 | [g2] | it take 40+ minutes to reflash Redboot (256K) |
| 17:00.09 | giel | at work, i'm using this multIce device, which costs $1500 |
| 17:00.26 | snotling | giel: ok i'll wait a bit i think :) but, precisely, is there a way to overcome RedBoot's default IP address, which is my main problem at the moment |
| 17:00.43 | [g2] | right that's what OpenJTAG is about replacing that with a $100ish FPGA board |
| 17:00.45 | snotling | g2: 40 minutes! ouah! |
| 17:01.08 | [g2] | turns out APEX is only about 5 because it's only 16K big |
| 17:01.20 | ByronT | snotling, that's what we've been saying... the ip address is set by redboot |
| 17:01.41 | snotling | ByronT:i've seen in the flash where it is stored |
| 17:01.54 | [g2] | siddy, I pushed the changes for the interrupt fix |
| 17:02.01 | [g2] | or poll fix |
| 17:02.08 | snotling | ByronT: in flash memory I mean |
| 17:03.20 | snotling | ByronT: so I thought I could overwrite the IP address value |
| 17:04.38 | siddy | [g2], cool, did you also add the netpoll-support (for netconsole)? |
| 17:05.26 | [g2] | siddy, no on the netconsole :( |
| 17:05.36 | [g2] | I havent' tried that yet |
| 17:05.41 | siddy | okay. |
| 17:05.53 | [g2] | I'm really trying to fix the EHCI issue |
| 17:07.07 | [g2] | snotling, you can build Redboot to run from RAM |
| 17:08.19 | [g2] | snotling, however you don't want to flash unless it's a tested bootloader or your are very desperate and risking the 100 unit |
| 17:09.16 | [g2] | it makes much more sense to setup the JTAG or just ask someone that has JTAG to test a specific change like that |
| 17:09.44 | [g2] | that's part of the strenght that comes from working in a community |
| 17:11.46 | snotling | g2: I will follow your advice and don't try to replace the bootloader for the moment |
| 17:12.04 | [g2] | that's good :) |
| 17:12.14 | [g2] | I should be JTAG enabled in a couple days |
| 17:12.52 | [g2] | We'll be testing APEX some more and I might be able to test a one word change to Redboot for a different IP addr |
| 17:13.09 | [g2] | I'm assuming you've located the address in the binary |
| 17:13.14 | snotling | g2: but, is it possible to replace the Linux image with one of a new bootloader, so the old one starts the one :) |
| 17:13.51 | snotling | g2: yes, I think I found the offset |
| 17:13.52 | [g2] | snotling, that's confusing |
| 17:14.19 | [g2] | snotling, you are talking about Linux image and new bootloaders |
| 17:14.35 | [g2] | it's simply mtd0 the bootloader |
| 17:14.51 | [g2] | Redboot for most, APEX for some |
| 17:15.00 | snotling | g2: sorry, I meant like GRUB's 'chain' mode, starting WinXP bootloader |
| 17:16.00 | [g2] | snotling, there are all kinds of things possible and we've done many of them |
| 17:17.49 | snotling | g2: all right, I'll wait and see what emerges of all your hard work :) |
| 17:18.13 | [g2] | snotling, it depends on your end-game |
| 17:18.36 | [g2] | If you are interesting in playing with his stuff building and running APEX from RAM is great |
| 17:18.42 | [g2] | or building Redboot |
| 17:19.29 | [g2] | If you are only looking for an IP change, then getting somebody to test that fix or waiting for a bootloader replacement makes sense |
| 17:20.05 | snotling | g2: well, what if I'm interesting in both ;-) |
| 17:20.52 | [g2] | snotling, then I'd start getting up-to-speed by reading the wiki and joining #openjtag :) |
| 17:21.35 | [g2] | snotling, are you running non-linksys firmware ? |
| 17:22.38 | snotling | g2: as I said, with my poor soldering skills, ?I (almost) fucked the board while trying to put a serial pin header, so JTAG stuff may be a bit too high for me:) |
| 17:23.02 | snotling | g2: as for the firmware, it still has the vanilla firmware |
| 17:23.09 | [g2] | I'm in the same boat with the soldering skills |
| 17:23.22 | [g2] | so you're serial enabled ? |
| 17:23.28 | snotling | g2: but it's onlt temporary as I don't plan to use it for the same thing Linksys thought |
| 17:23.43 | snotling | g2: not i don't have serial :( |
| 17:23.58 | [g2] | a failed serial attempt :) |
| 17:24.13 | [g2] | what do you want to use it for ? |
| 17:24.49 | snotling | g2: i'd like to hook up a few USB Wifi adapters and put it on my roof for a meshed network in my city :) |
| 17:25.11 | snotling | g2: so, not a file server :) |
| 17:25.34 | siddy | snotling == wlan-sniffling ? ;) |
| 17:27.02 | snotling | g2: stuff like that : http://www.usbwifi.orcon.net.nz/ |
| 17:28.12 | snotling | g2: i once wanted to use the NSLU2 as a NAS/SAN but i've had issues with USB enclosures so, after all, it may be easier to put my hard drives plugged to IDE on a normal motherboard |

| 18:01.29 | ByronT | bob_tm-sick, I think it is a good suggestion |
| 18:01.51 | bob_tm-sick | ByronT: Thanks - support is good. |
| 18:02.14 | ByronT | I sort of have that *suggestion* in th NewUsersGuide http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/NewUsersGuide |
| 18:02.45 | ByronT | which means it is also in the "NOTES" that comes with Unslung firmware |
| 18:02.49 | bob_tm-sick | ByronT: That is good, but it should be on the main page with the other things too. |
| 18:03.29 | bob_tm-sick | Because it will focus on the wiki as source of info. Of course people may fail to find the answer there, even if present, but at least try. |
| 18:04.02 | ByronT | but maybe as #3 |
| 18:04.18 | bob_tm-sick | I'm liberal when it comes to order. |
| 18:04.40 | ByronT | move current 5 to number 4 |
| 18:04.53 | ByronT | more orderly that way... |
| 18:05.39 | bob_tm-sick | I'll leave this in your capable hands. If I remember correctly the first says that those who ask questions should type up asnwers. It seems logical to tell them what to do prior to asking, _before_ that. |
| 18:06.04 | ByronT | I'm reading that as well |
| 18:07.09 | bob_tm-sick | ByronT: Do you have a prelim readme for Unslung 4.x? |
| 18:07.48 | ByronT | I do not... of course, I haven't played with unslung 4.x - concentrating on licensing issues and openslug doco |
| 18:08.15 | bob_tm-sick | No problem - just asking as I'm about to flash it, so it would be an alpha of any readme as well |
| 18:09.07 | bob_tm-sick | Anyone here named Keith Garry Boyce ? |
| 18:09.08 | ByronT | for unslung 4.x readme, I believe that I would be changing the unslung 3.x readme |
| 18:09.32 | bob_tm-sick | Yes - that is my fallback - I'll use that |
| 18:10.13 | ByronT | bob_tm-sick, if you'll go to http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/SuggestedChangesToTheReadme and get the README from there, you'll have the latest repo version |
| 18:10.30 | bob_tm-sick | Thanks - will do |
| 18:11.08 | ByronT | and if you'll take some notes and put them on that page, I'll incorporate them into the unslung 4.x readme |

| 18:44.44 | siddy | well, you'll have to look somewhere in ixp4xx_copy_from to find 2814 alignment-errors in one instruction. |
| 18:45.16 | [g2] | do you happend to have an offset ? |

| 18:47.30 | [g2] | pretty near the start |
| 18:47.45 | siddy | Gddam, I forgot to add kallsyms to my kernel, I'm switching between my output and System.map all the time... :\ |
| 18:48.48 | [g2] | A bunch of years ago I wrote a perl script that used the output of a logic analyzer to create a runtime profile using the memory map informaion |
| 18:49.30 | [g2] | I was going to try and check out the profiling for the kernel on OpenSlug |
| 18:54.50 | siddy | hm, the disassembly of ixp4xx_copy_from is pretty short, should be easy to locate. |
| 18:59.04 | siddy | hm, looking at the source (once i found it), it's pretty obvious. I vote for the line "u16 *src...", any objections? ;) |
| 19:05.19 | siddy | oh no, my fault, the bad guy is drivers/mtd/maps/ixp4xx.c:63 |
