| 09:41.51 | rwhitby-away | Wow - that's unusual. A whole day, and nothing to pull from oe-devel.bkbits.net .... |
| 09:59.06 | hanjo | rwhitby: I was just going trough the irc logs. What kind of a problem did you have with the usb serial device? |
| 10:00.47 | rwhitby-away | when I have two pl2303 usb->serial cables, and a Linksys usbbt100 bluetooth dongle, all attached to a usb 2.0 hub, which is attached to the slug running openslug, with ehci loaded as a module (or compiled into the kernel), and if the bluetooth dongle is attached at boot, then I get an error when I open the second ttyUSB port with microcom |
| 10:01.05 | rwhitby-away | remove the bluetooth dongle, and the problem goes away. |
| 10:01.18 | rwhitby-away | put them all on a usb 1.1 hub, and the problem goes away |
| 10:01.30 | hanjo | :) |
| 10:01.31 | rwhitby-away | disable the ehci module (using ohci instead) and the problem goes away |
| 10:02.03 | rwhitby-away | have the bluetooth dongle unplugged at boot, and plug it in after the serial cables have been registered, and the problem goes away |
| 10:02.45 | hanjo | I have two serials attached now, but I am missing your third ingredient |
| 10:03.26 | rwhitby-away | so I have moved two of my usb->serial cables to a 1.1 hub on the wl500g, and have the other one (with goes to the dial-in modem) attached to port 2 on the openslug ehci slug (the usb 2.0 hub is on port 1) |
| 10:05.09 | hanjo | well, as long as it works, and you don't need the 2.0 speed/features why not |
| 10:05.11 | rwhitby-away | problem solved :-) Then I removed kallsyms from the kernel so we can compile ehci back into it, and released that as openslug 1.7 |
| 10:05.52 | rwhitby-away | so now I have the bluetooth dongle, and a usb 2.0 enclosure and laptop hard disk on the usb 2.0 hub. |
| 10:06.23 | rwhitby-away | tonight i will flash that slug with openslug 1.7, and see if the other ehci problem reappears while I make it use rootfs from the external hard disk |
| 10:08.00 | hanjo | I've lost you there. Do you or do you not have something attached to the 2.0 hub |
| 10:08.36 | rwhitby-away | I now have the usb 1.1 bluetooth dongle, and a usb 2.0 hard disk enclosure attached to the usb 2.0 hub |
| 10:09.32 | hanjo | I see, but the old EHCI problem is stil here, you were talking about the "open serial device" one. OK. I got it now |
| 10:10.45 | hanjo | I have two ftdi_sio devices on the 2.0 hub and they look to be working ok. |
| 10:11.16 | rwhitby-away | yeah, the open serial device problem was stopping me from using ehci at all on a usb 2.0 hub. the irq26 problem (whilst an annoyance) doesn't actually have an bad side effects, does it ? (I don't know, the other problem stopped me from experiencing much of the irq26 nobody cares problem). |
| 10:12.01 | rwhitby-away | two pl2303's by themselves are fine. it only goes wrong if you add a bluetooth dongle into the mix, and have it plugged in at boot. |
| 10:12.13 | hanjo | BTW, do you know if microcom can be set to 57600. My devices are sending at 57600 and I have a hard time playing with the stty options |
| 10:12.43 | hanjo | is the dongle 2.0 ? |
| 10:12.55 | rwhitby-away | no, the dongle is 1.1 |

| 13:47.01 | rwhitby | and I still don't understand why I can't mount /proc/bus/usb ... |
| 13:47.13 | rwhitby | (I've changed noauto to defaults in /etc/fstab for that line) |
| 13:48.43 | rwhitby | I think base-files/nslu2 should actually be called base-files/openslug, cause it is all distro dependent, not machine dependent .... |
| 13:49.15 | rwhitby | so do we really want a ramfs area created by default on /media/ram, or not? |
| 13:49.43 | [g2] | good question |
| 13:49.53 | [g2] | I think some of the mounts are to tmpfs |
| 13:50.18 | rwhitby | which mounts? |
| 13:51.00 | [g2] | I think domounts mount the stuff in /tmp and other to the tmpfs so we wouldn't burn out flash etc.... |
| 13:51.50 | rwhitby | right, but that's not /media/ram ... |
| 13:51.52 | [g2] | "/var is mounted on tmpfs |
| 13:52.15 | [g2] | and /tmp is a link to /var/tmp |
| 13:52.26 | rwhitby | oh, are you questioning tmpfs vs ramfs ? |
| 13:52.35 | rwhitby | why did you mention tmpfs? |
| 13:53.10 | [g2] | tmpfs is kinda the new ramfs right ? |
| 13:53.26 | rwhitby | dunno |
| 13:53.29 | [g2] | and without a disk attached it works pretty much the same |
| 13:54.09 | [g2] | that's my understand it's kinda a new improved flexible ramfs |
| 13:54.26 | rwhitby | ok, so do we really want a ramfs/tmpfs area created by default on /media/ram, or not? (ramfs or tmpfs is not relevant to the question I think) |
| 13:55.34 | rwhitby | I say not. If we're not using it (and we're obviously not, cause it has the wrong path), then why create it? |
| 13:55.34 | [g2] | I say not too |
| 13:55.34 | [g2] | We do want the /var link that's already created |
| 13:55.52 | rwhitby | yes |
| 13:56.44 | [g2] | rwhitby, are you familiar at all with nslu2-part.c ? |
| 13:56.57 | [g2] | creates some partition information |
| 13:57.53 | rwhitby | yes |
| 13:57.59 | rwhitby | it's not used, cause we use redboot.c |
| 13:58.23 | [g2] | redboot.c ? |
| 13:58.27 | rwhitby | that's the default partitioning if you don't have a redboot FIS directory |
| 13:58.43 | rwhitby | standard redboot partition parser |
| 13:58.57 | [g2] | that's the "Redboot" in the ordering of the cmdline, etc.... |
| 13:59.11 | rwhitby | for mtd partitions, yes |
| 13:59.23 | [g2] | yeah that's what I meant |
| 13:59.51 | [g2] | so it looks for FIS first than uses that ? |
| 14:00.09 | rwhitby | should be cmdline, then FIS, then what's in nslu2-part.c |
| 14:00.36 | [g2] | is FIS and option too |

| 14:04.08 | rwhitby | yep |
| 14:04.22 | rwhitby | hanjo_: you can thank us by solving the EHCI problem :-) |
| 14:04.43 | [g2] | hanjo_, congrats |
| 14:04.55 | [g2] | rwhitby, THX |
| 14:05.02 | hanjo_ | I think its out of my capabilities, but I am trying to poke around as much as I can |
| 14:05.21 | rwhitby | [g2]: so what do we want in fstab? |
| 14:05.54 | [g2] | well I don't think we need/want a ramfs |
| 14:06.05 | [g2] | tmpfs for var is good |
| 14:06.12 | rwhitby | what about usbdevfs ? |
| 14:06.18 | rwhitby | does it work for you? |
| 14:06.49 | [g2] | I think you removed the kernel option for that no ? |
| 14:07.03 | [g2] | or was that pci |
| 14:07.04 | rwhitby | didn't intend to ... |
| 14:07.20 | rwhitby | didn't do that either, since kallsyms freed up so much space. |
| 14:07.29 | [g2] | ok |
| 14:07.37 | [g2] | how do I check |
| 14:08.11 | rwhitby | CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y |
| 14:08.16 | rwhitby | mount -a ? |
| 14:08.31 | [g2] | is that set by default ? |
| 14:08.48 | rwhitby | yes, that's what's in our defconfig for 2.6.11.2 |
| 14:09.07 | rwhitby | does mount -a mount it for you? |
| 14:09.29 | hanjo_ | rwhitby: it is working fine with the image you sent me |
| 14:10.49 | [g2] | root@avila:/proc/bus/usb# mount -t usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb |

| 21:15.51 | hanjo | hi all |
| 21:16.21 | hanjo | siddy: ping |
| 21:45.23 | siddy | hanjo_away, pong |
| 21:47.57 | hanjo | hi |
| 21:48.08 | siddy | hi! |
| 21:48.17 | hanjo | siddy: the netconsole thing did not work for me |
| 21:48.39 | siddy | not? what was the problem? |
| 21:48.53 | hanjo | can you send me the md5sum of your ixp425_eth.ko |
| 21:49.43 | siddy | 7e6663407b35c253aa76920038ea2ecf, but I doubt you'll have the same... |
| 21:49.53 | hanjo | even after updating the eth driver |
| 21:49.57 | hanjo | netconsole: eth0 doesn't support polling, aborting. ~ |
| 21:50.18 | hanjo | I am doing full rebuild now |
| 21:50.28 | siddy | hm... do you have CONFIG_NETPOLL* enabled in your kernel-config? |
| 21:50.47 | hanjo | it is |
| 21:53.07 | siddy | strange. Are you sure you have the netconsole-enabled ixp425-driver installed? |
| 21:53.29 | siddy | you could check by searching for the symbol "ixp425eth_poll_controller" in the .ko |
| 21:54.11 | hanjo | hmm |
| 21:54.23 | hanjo | the time stamp is fine, but no poll |
| 21:55.27 | hanjo | how is the ixp425 picking up the kernel-config to set the defines properly? Maybe I've messed something up with the order of the changes |
| 21:56.47 | siddy | it gets the config directly out of the linux-2.6.11.2 tree. It's even built by the kernel's Makefile, to be precise... ;) |
| 21:59.11 | hanjo | this is the story: I've applied the patch in eth, then went to the kernel dir only to find that the CONFIG_ stuff is already properly set.. So I just invalidated the stamps on ixp435-eth-compile ... and then reaplied the .ipk |
| 21:59.47 | hanjo | Anyhow, let's see if the rebuild works. Sorry for the trouble |
| 22:00.50 | siddy | hm, it should have worked the way you did it, at least that's the way it works for me every time. |
| 22:03.24 | *** join/#nslu2-linux rwhitby-away (~rwhitby@rwhitby.nslu2-linux) |
| 22:19.47 | [g2] | hanjo, are you trying to run the ipx in a polled mode ? |
| 22:20.13 | hanjo | I am trying to get netconsole to run |
| 22:20.39 | [g2] | nod. currently the ixp is setup to run in interrupt mode |
| 22:20.55 | hanjo | I applied the patch from siddy |
| 22:21.01 | siddy | [g2], it's another "poll" than the 5000 irq/s polling. It's some kernel-feature called netpoll needed for netconsole. |
| 22:21.03 | hanjo | or are you reffering to something else |
| 22:21.37 | [g2] | siddy, nod it's poll for the netconle |
| 22:21.42 | [g2] | console |
| 22:22.20 | [g2] | however, if this is early before interrupts are setup then the driver probably won't run either |
| 22:22.48 | [g2] | I dunno for sure |
| 22:22.59 | siddy | works fine for me. |
| 22:23.04 | [g2] | Ok |
| 22:23.17 | [g2] | with both interrupt driven and Net console |
| 22:23.25 | siddy | yep |
| 22:23.27 | [g2] | cool |
| 22:23.50 | [g2] | I've been wanting to try that I'm slowly getting closer |
| 22:23.59 | hanjo | I nuked tmp so if it works with the latest pull, shoud work here also |
| 22:24.43 | hanjo | two more questions |
| 22:25.13 | hanjo | i am now running / over nfs, based on the guidelines on the wiki |
| 22:25.15 | siddy | hanjo, I don't know about the latest pull, I'm currently running a heavily personalized 10-days old openslug... ;) |
| 22:25.57 | hanjo | siddy: I had to give my box something to work on during the night :) |
| 22:26.30 | hanjo | anyhow, /var is still tmpfs when I would like to be on the nfs also |
| 22:26.50 | hanjo | does it suffice to remove the mount and modify /etc/fstab ? |
| 22:27.54 | hanjo | i.e. is this /var used in the time before the root is switched to the nfs mounted dir? |
| 22:29.14 | siddy | you mean in switchbox? I don't think so. |
| 22:29.39 | hanjo | so I can safely remove it then |
| 22:30.18 | siddy | I'd say yes. Never tried it though. |
| 22:31.16 | hanjo | switchbox is smart enough to go back to flash if something fails with the nfs right? I'll just try and see what happens |
| 22:32.11 | siddy | yeah, braking the nfs won't hurt the fallback to jffs2, so no risk. |
| 22:32.54 | hanjo | As long as it starts telnet/ssh, its fine :). My second question was about src directory for ipkg, can this be a nfs mounted dir also? |
| 22:33.45 | siddy | should make no difference, so: yes. |
| 22:33.48 | [g2] | it's just a directory |
| 22:34.03 | hanjo | no, that is not what I ment |
| 22:34.03 | [g2] | I load from file:// |
| 22:34.08 | hanjo | thx |
| 22:34.10 | *** part/#nslu2-linux chrta (~cht@dsl-082-082-233-025.arcor-ip.net) |
| 22:34.17 | hanjo | that was the answer :) |
| 22:34.51 | hanjo | ok thx all for the help, I'll get back to you in the morning when the build is done |
| 22:35.10 | [g2] | hanjo, where are you planning on ordering 50 unit from ? |
| 22:35.26 | [g2] | night siddy |
| 22:35.48 | siddy | (there's no better thing than falling asleep while watching harald schmidt...) |
| 22:35.50 | [g2] | if you find a good place for bulk let us know |
| 22:35.50 | hanjo | I don't know. We have a purchasing guy so I gave him the specification and he has to go find 3 offers and then he selects the best one |
| 22:35.51 | siddy | night all! |
| 22:36.13 | hanjo | It has to be in germany |
