| lool | rwhitby: So AIUI, NSLU2 images will now boot into the installer, but they fail due to OOM; our kernel seems to be too large | 13:06 |
|---|---|---|
| lool | rwhitby: It might be that we need to drop stuff from our large kernel | 13:07 |
| lool | rwhitby: ogra will be working on this, but I suggested he gets in touch with you; the bug to track this issue is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/331510 | 13:08 |
| lool | rwhitby: BTW daily images are at http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/jaunty/main/installer-armel/current/images/ixp4xx/netboot/ | 13:10 |
| lool | kernel + initrd for netboot into Ubuntu's d-i, and flashable image | 13:10 |
| lool | netboot will likely not work though | 13:10 |
| ogra | rwhitby, though for now i'll just try to adjust our kernel to the debian lenny config | 13:10 |
| ogra | lool, well, it works up to some point | 13:11 |
| lool | ogra: Can you use an initrd with redboot? | 13:11 |
| lool | I mean a remote initrd | 13:11 |
| ogra | on the nslu2 ? | 13:11 |
| ogra | i dont think so | 13:11 |
| lool | I fear redboot sets the atag to what it expects | 13:11 |
| lool | ogra: Right, so the netboot image is relatively useless | 13:11 |
| ogra | ?? | 13:11 |
| ogra | the netboot image uses apex by default | 13:12 |
| lool | ogra: You mean the firmware image | 13:12 |
| ogra | oh, you mean the split one | 13:12 |
| lool | Yes | 13:12 |
| ogra | heh, yeah, i doubt that works for anyone, but you can for example modify the initrd.gz and roll your own firmware image with slugimage | 13:12 |
| ogra | so it has some use, even though its a massive corner case ... | 13:13 |
| ogra | like in the outer tip of the corner :) | 13:13 |
| lool | Yeah, I wanted to underline that the kernel and initrd are mostly useless as they stand; I don't even know whether's it the apex initrd or the one which should be wrapped in an apex initrd | 13:14 |
| ogra | the one that should be wrapped | 13:14 |
| ogra | its plain | 13:15 |
| lool | Right, so one has to do some devio + apex dance to rebuild a firmware, not trivial really | 13:15 |
| ogra | not to hard either if you have the script | 13:15 |
| ogra | :) | 13:15 |
| ogra | i sould probably dump that on the wiki | 13:15 |
| ogra | though i have bigger probs to solve atm | 13:16 |
| ogra | than to add hacks for corner cases | 13:16 |
| lool | ogra: This was just a note for rwhitby | 13:16 |
| ogra | yep | 13:16 |
| ogra | i dont think cjwatson uploaded the d-i with the fixes for the kbd qeustions yet btw | 13:16 |
| ogra | might only fully work with next d-i upload | 13:17 |
| lool | That's minor though | 13:17 |
| lool | ogra: (You mean the fact that you're asked for console setup while you're not using a keyboard right?) | 13:18 |
| ogra | yes, before ssh starts | 13:18 |
| ogra | so its useless without serial port | 13:18 |
| ogra | since it waits for input on the kbd questions | 13:19 |
| ogra | the next upload rips out all kbd stuff from d-i | 13:19 |
| lool | Great | 13:19 |
| ogra | i decided its better than to preseed it ... | 13:19 |
| ogra | saves some ram for the keymaps | 13:20 |
| ogra | and its unlikely people use slugs as desktop systems i bet :) | 13:20 |
