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