[20:42] <Daviey> Hi, is the /current karmic netboot installer working?
[20:42] <Daviey> vmlinuz-2.6.31-100-imx51
[20:46] <Martyn-> netboot?  No
[20:46] <Martyn-> not on arm anyway
[20:47] <Daviey> Martyn-: hmm.. there isn't an arm netboot since jaunty then?
[20:47] <Martyn-> I wasn't aware that even jaunty had a working net-install
[20:47] <Martyn-> netboot, yes
[20:47] <Martyn-> net install?  no.
[20:48] <Daviey> my bad, i mean't netboot
[20:49] <Daviey> I can't get the karmic vmlinuz-2.6.31-203-dove or vmlinuz-2.6.31-100-imx51 working..
[20:49] <Daviey> What should the -M be?
[20:49] <Daviey> for qemu :)
[20:51] <Martyn-> dunno
[20:51] <Martyn-> I have real hardware :)
[20:51] <Martyn-> for even Cortex-A9 :)
[20:51] <Daviey> lucky :)
[20:54] <Daviey> Martyn-: would you be really kind, and give me the output of dpkg-architecture on an armel box?
[20:54] <Daviey> (or anyone else for that matter)
[21:00] <Martyn-> can't at the moment .. I'm at home, not at work :)
[21:00] <Martyn-> sigh
[21:00] <Martyn-> wait, I might be able to VPN in if you're patient
[21:01] <Daviey> Martyn-: nah, don't worry. but thanks anyway.
[21:02] <Daviey> not that i'm being impatient, i just don't want you to go to extra effort :)
[21:13] <ali1234> i did a net install on armel... it didn't work, but i  think only cos the box didn't have enough ram
[21:13] <ali1234> it got quite far before it crashed
[21:15] <ali1234> Daviey: there is a rootfs building script for armel which uses qemu heavily, perhaps it will provide some hints for you? link is in topic
[21:19] <Daviey> ali1234: i'll check it out, but it seems the kernel for karmic isn't working for some reason.. There isn't a versatile one, only dove and imx51, and neither of these seems to work with qemu :(
[21:19] <ali1234> build your own then :)
[21:20] <ali1234> i've only tested with jaunty anyway, and i think that's what the rootfs script uses also
[21:20] <ali1234> but it doesn't seem too picky about kernel. i used a random 2.6.25 and it mostly worked
[21:21] <Daviey> hmm.. ok thanks ali1234
