[14:47] <royerfa> HI all
[14:47] <royerfa> I am trying to install ubuntu on my beagleboard
[14:48] <royerfa> I am following the wikipage https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RootfsFromScratch
[14:48] <royerfa> and I am not sucessful in creating a armel-rootfs-****.tgz
[14:49] <royerfa> this command line sudo ./build-arm-rootfs --fqdn ubuntu --login ubuntu --password ubuntu --imagesize 3G --seed ubuntu-desktop
[14:49] <royerfa> is creating nothing for me :(
[14:49] <royerfa> Thank in advance for any help :)
[14:51] <lool> ogra: ^
[14:51] <ogra> where is your log ?
[14:52] <royerfa> this is what I have on the command line fabroy01@fabroy01-desktop:/media/sdb/test$ sudo ./build-arm-rootfs --fqdn ubuntu --login ubuntu --password ubuntu --imagesize 3G --seed ubuntu-desktop
[14:52] <royerfa> I: Creating temporary Image
[14:52] <royerfa> fabroy01@fabroy01-desktop:/media/sdb/test$
[14:54] <ogra> do you have qemu installed ?
[14:54] <royerfa> yes
[14:55] <ogra> well, there should be a log
[14:55] <royerfa> and debootstrap_1.0.13~jaunty1_all.deb
[14:55] <royerfa> there is nothing created
[14:56] <ogra> are you on jaunty or karmic ?
[14:56] <royerfa> I don't remember .. what is the command to tell ?
[14:57] <ogra> lsb_release -a
[14:57] <ogra> Codename should tell you
[14:57] <royerfa> intrepid 8.10
[14:57] <ogra> oh
[14:57] <ogra> i dont think i every tested it on intrepid at all
[14:58] <royerfa> OK could be the raison
[14:58] <royerfa> I am testing it on a 9.04
[14:58] <ogra> well, still strange that you dont get any output
[14:58] <ogra> directly after "I: Creating temporary Image" it runs qemu-img to create an image, that should spill any output even if it doesnt work
[15:00] <royerfa> I will upgarde and let you know
[15:00] <ogra> oki
[15:00] <royerfa> sudo apt-get upgrade right ?
[15:00] <ogra> no, use update-manager
[15:00] <ogra> do you run a desktop system atm ?
[15:01] <royerfa> no I am using the box as a server
[15:01] <ogra> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
[15:01] <ogra> "Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Servers (Recommended)"
[15:01] <ogra> follow that reciepe
[15:02] <royerfa> thx you very much
[15:02] <Madsy> Slightly off-topic. Is it possible to tell gcc *not* to emit literal values in the .text segment?
[15:03] <Madsy> ARM gcc does that (uses a pool) because the address modes can't hold all permutations of 32-bit immediates.
[15:14] <lool> Madsy: the man page mentions -mtext-section-literals and -mno-text-section-literals; sounds like what you're looking for?
[15:18] <Madsy> Wow, that's it. Thanks :-)
[15:19] <Madsy> I did look at the manual, but must have missed it.
[15:21] <Madsy> I made a metamorphic engine for fun some time ago. Compared to say, x86 it's a lot more easy since instruction encodings are of constant length.
[15:22] <Madsy> I have a weird affection for evoolving code and AI.
[15:23] <Madsy> If I can get rid of all data in the .text segment, I can simplify the code a lot. And rewrite it in pure C.
[16:19] <royerfa> HI, I get rid of my problem on the 9.04 release
[16:19] <ogra> cool !
[16:19] <royerfa> I was wondering if the beagle board would boot without a keyboard and without a screen ?
[16:20] <royerfa> as I want to use it only as a server
[16:20] <ogra> it should
[16:20] <royerfa> ok
[16:21] <ogra> you will need openssh-server in the rootfs indeed and should set up /etc/network/interfaces on the SD card
[16:26] <lool> Or use the serial console
[16:26] <lool> :-P
[16:26] <ogra> right, but that needs changes to the SD as well :)
[16:27] <ogra> or use rootstock, that already has serial support ;)
[17:04] <Madsy> ogra: Your qemu-versatile 2.6.28 image, is it straight from kernel.org or the kernel from Ubuntu Intrepid?
[17:04] <ogra> ubuntu
[17:05] <Madsy> Do you happen to know the calling convention for system calls? I.e is the immediate in SWIs used like in ARM Debian 2.4 kernels? Or are the arguments passed by r0-r4?
[17:05] <Madsy> Debian updated the ARM ABI when they ported the 2.6 kernel.
[17:11] <ogra> i havent used debian stuff since woody, sorry
[17:12] <ogra> lool might know the differences
[17:25] <lool> Madsy: its EABI syscalls conventions
[17:25] <lool> Just like the Debian armel port
[17:33] <Madsy> Thanks.
