| 00:01.37 | philpem | oh, so there's going to be a new openslug with 2.6.16? i'm planning a HDD upgrade for my NSLU soon.. might delay it until after the release, then have a play around :) |

| 00:20.09 | dwery-zzzz | nite :) |
| 00:23.52 | NAiLzZz | philpem: yes. It's more or less ready. Needs a shellscript for controlling the leds and apparently some fixups to make the required modules show up in the rootfs. |

| 12:43.13 | hanjo | has anyone detected any improvements in the clock stability with the 2.6.16 kernel? |
| 12:46.14 | AwayNAiL | the clock should be more or less correct with 2.6.16 |

| 12:58.15 | dyoung-away | because theres a 33.000 Mhz crystal on it, but its supposed to be a 33.333Mhz |
| 12:58.22 | hanjo | the funny thing is that it is happening only on some slugs, while others are fine |

| 13:00.42 | dyoung-away | it was hacked into the kernel at some point; but I dont remember when. |
| 13:00.49 | hanjo | sec |
| 13:00.57 | AwayNAiL | in openslug 2.7-beta, it wasn't in the kernel |
| 13:01.05 | AwayNAiL | in 3.6-beta, there's an in-kernel fix |

| 17:48.07 | NAiL | good :) |
| 17:49.35 | NAiL | Ok, I'll be going off for a while to fix a monitor. Please try to break my script, and give me feedback. I'll be reading the log when I get back. |

| 17:57.47 | NAiL | (updated script to list available triggers) |
| 17:58.32 | dwery | :-D |
| 17:59.07 | NAiL | (and fixed the formatting) |
| 17:59.42 | NAiL | ugh |
| 17:59.49 | NAiL | gerbleh |
| 17:59.54 | NAiL | that makes it wrong :-P |
| 18:00.33 | NAiL | there we are |
| 18:01.05 | NAiL | I split up the cpu trigger into cpu-idle and cpu-busy, since it makes it easier to program |
| 18:05.17 | NAiL | methinks the release will be ready for testing later tonight |
| 18:06.29 | VoodooZ | Yipee! |
| 18:06.43 | VoodooZ | I'll be testing it! |
| 18:06.48 | NAiL | good :) |
| 18:07.33 | VoodooZ | Although I should be saving my old 2.7 image as I have too much work left to do to fight with openslug. Just in case. |
| 18:18.33 | NAiL | ok, so the known issues that have to be fixed are having the proper modules in the rootfs, add the leds script and fix the initscripts so they use the correct leds stuff. Then the release should be (hopefully) ok. |
| 18:18.56 | AwayNAiL | I'll be back in a couple of hours. |
| 18:24.32 | VoodooZ | AwayNAiL, did you catch a nap after all? |

| 19:10.27 | pepijn | also, the slug appeared on 192.168.1.77 and with 'default' SysConf |

| 19:16.31 | pepijn | yes, it was related to a cleanout of SysConf and not running 'turnup preserve' |
| 19:16.57 | pepijn | but the not-loading of the modules still is an issue |
| 19:17.06 | MarvinGS | Hi there - i guess my question is so easy, that it is not answered in any Place i searched... |
| 19:19.48 | MarvinGS | ...so here it is: I got Unslung5.5 running on my Slug and a MemoryStick in USB1. Now i'd like to unsling to a second Disk to be able to run two different Systems. Can i just boot the Slug withount any disk connectend and then connect my USB-Drive to Port 1 and unsling again? Or will that stop my Flash-Drive workin when i conect it to Port 1 next Week? |
| 19:21.10 | MarvinGS | Oh, maybe i am on the wron channel - sorry! |
| 19:24.09 | mwester | MarvinGS: you're not necessarily on the wrong channel :) |
| 19:24.18 | mwester | Glad you asked before you did it. |
| 19:24.34 | MarvinGS | mwester: ah, ok :) |
| 19:24.51 | MarvinGS | so i guess i would have messed up everything ;) |
| 19:26.17 | mwester | An "unsling" is a one-time operation as far as the NSLU2 is concerned. So if you unsling a second time, the new disk you unslung to would have a partial filesystem. You'll need to reflash the NSLU2 with a new copy of the Unslung 5.5 firmware, then unsling to the disk. At that point you can do what you are trying to to: it will boot up equally well on either disk (just use the same USB... |
| 19:26.18 | mwester | ...Port for the disk and flash disk). |
| 19:28.59 | MarvinGS | Ah, ok. So no Disk-Geometry or "type" (Flashdrive/Disk) or something is stored in the Slug when unslinging - just the Number of the USB-Port. Good to know that. Is anything else i could do after unslinging stored inside the Slug? Like the downloaded ipkg stuff? |
| 19:37.05 | mwester | Once you've booted up in "unslung" mode, the flash filesystem internal to the NSLU2 is completely out of the picture -- so you can have completely independent installs on the two devices. For example, I have one tiny hard drive that has a build environment installed -- so if I ever need to do a native compile, I can unplug the big disk, and boot it up on a separate device for my development... |
| 19:37.06 | mwester | ...efforts. It's really rather neat, although I'm not sure that it was an intended feature! :) |
| 19:41.32 | philips | snowbike: anything? |

| 21:09.29 | pepijn | anyone familiar with using TestAnImageInRamUsingRedBoot when the image does not contain a single ramdisk.gz (ref. slugimage) ? |
| 21:10.06 | pepijn | seems howto was written when slugtool was still used, and image just contained RedBoot, SysConf, ramdisk.gz and vmlinuz |
| 21:16.07 | AwayNAiL | any problems with the leds? |
| 21:16.20 | pepijn | wb NAiL |
| 21:16.31 | pepijn | not leds, but with module loading |
| 21:16.33 | pepijn | read above |
| 21:17.02 | NAiL | yeah, I know |
| 21:17.05 | NAiL | that has to be solved |
| 21:17.28 | pepijn | easy to solve, but not sure about best way to solve it ;) |
| 21:19.02 | pepijn | in Debian i would add those modules to /etc/modules |

| 22:16.01 | AdamBaker | Is there any project preference for how we handle packages that have a packagename-conf program that tells you how to link with them for cross compiling. Should we modify the copy of *-conf that gets installed in staging to include a reference to the staging dir (specifically optware but I guess the approach for OpenSlug would be the same) |
