| eggonlea | NC, the beta livecd could successfully install to my SATA as long as network is configured. thanks! | 02:34 |
|---|---|---|
| eggonlea | orga/lool, could we boot karmic from NFS rootfs? I did not see any wiki page talking about NFS. by this way, I could recover the rootfs easily once I make it crash. | 02:38 |
| eggonlea | I mean, with Canonical provided prebuilt kernel. | 02:38 |
| GrueMaster | eggonlea: NFS Root on arm is currently untested, but "should" work. | 02:52 |
| GrueMaster | what platform? | 02:52 |
| eggonlea | dove | 02:55 |
| eggonlea | i saw NFS as module in .config | 02:56 |
| eggonlea | is it done by initramfs? | 02:57 |
| Martyn | GrueMaster : I can confirm that NFS root works with the current rootstock | 03:02 |
| Martyn | I"m using it for Cortex A9 development | 03:02 |
| GrueMaster | cool | 03:02 |
| Martyn | just make sure you compile it -into- your kernel | 03:02 |
| Martyn | don't leave it as a module. Because initrd is -not- generically supported yet | 03:02 |
| eggonlea | yes, I can use NFS rootfs with rootstock and uImage compiled with NFS built-in | 03:06 |
| eggonlea | but could we use Canonical stock prebuilt kernel for that? | 03:06 |
| Martyn | You can, but I don't reccomend it | 03:43 |
| Martyn | (sorry, cooking dinner, so I'm not at the terminal very often) | 03:43 |
| lool | We didn't try nfsroot with initrd I'm afraid | 08:56 |
| eggonlea | what's your time, lool? Never thought I could met you at this time. :P | 08:57 |
| eggonlea | why I want to try it is I do NOT know what's the difference between the rootfs installed from livecd and rootstock. | 08:59 |
| lool | eggonlea: I'm always here at this time but I might not be talking here :-) | 08:59 |
| lool | eggonlea: It's 10am here | 08:59 |
| lool | I popup between 8:30 and 9:30 almost everyday | 09:00 |
| lool | eggonlea: Paris time | 09:00 |
| lool | eggonlea: Where are you based? | 09:00 |
| eggonlea | Shanghai, PRC | 09:00 |
| eggonlea | so I always miss your hot discussion | 09:00 |
| lool | Eh | 09:01 |
| eggonlea | lool: I have an open question. | 09:04 |
| eggonlea | Will ubuntu continue use uboot as bootloader, or will transit to kexec with linux as bootloader? | 09:05 |
| eggonlea | any brainstorming, discussion or plan? | 09:05 |
| lool | eggonlea: We wanted to do this in this cycle, but didn't manage to | 09:07 |
| eggonlea | we saw the most two benefits to use linux as boot loader: 1) powerful scripts support and 2) reuse driver code instead of porting everything from kernel to uboot | 09:07 |
| lool | eggonlea: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/mobile-arm-karmic-softboot-loader | 09:07 |
| lool | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Specs/ARMSoftbootLoader | 09:07 |
| lool | eggonlea: I fully agree | 09:07 |
| lool | eggonlea: There's one drawback in the form of slower boot times | 09:08 |
| eggonlea | aha~. I need spend more time in walking through the LP/wiki | 09:08 |
| lool | eggonlea: That's what we discussed at last UDS | 09:09 |
| lool | eggonlea: Now we should probably look at discussing that at next UDS | 09:09 |
| lool | In November | 09:09 |
| lool | eggonlea: Anybody coming from your group? | 09:09 |
| eggonlea | we're planning to apply for it | 09:10 |
| eggonlea | but my visa is on "check" | 09:10 |
| eggonlea | anyway, maen should have sb. there | 09:11 |
| lool | Cool | 09:15 |
| eggonlea | btw, I noticed the deadline of the end of Oct. Could I apply for it without confirmation in case my visa won't be "clear" in time? | 09:17 |
| lool | eggonlea: Yes certainly | 09:35 |
| lool | eggonlea: We try to estimate the number of meals etc. | 09:36 |
| lool | eggonlea: One thing to do in the weeks before UDS is registering your attendance on Launchpad with the days you are exactly coming | 09:36 |
| lool | eggonlea: You should also subscribe to the specs you're interested in (not a lot at this point; do that one week before UDS for instance | 09:37 |

| ojn | Looks like Marvell announced Dove today, calling it Sheeva PJ4? | 22:45 |
| ojn | http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/Marvell-Armada-100-500-600-and-1000/?kc=rss | 22:45 |
| ojn | Well, I guess that's the name of the core. Armada 500/600 for the SoC. | 22:45 |
| plars | ojn: heya | 22:46 |
| plars | cool | 22:46 |
| ojn | plars: hey | 22:46 |
| ojn | ARM/Freescale are handing out Pegatron Netbooks tomorrow too, but I missed it in time to register for that session so none for me. :( | 22:47 |
| plars | ojn: handing them out? how nice! | 22:49 |
| plars | I don't have one of those yet | 22:49 |
| ojn | Heh | 22:50 |
| plars | ojn: where is this happening? | 22:50 |
| ojn | plars: ARM Techcon3 | 22:50 |
| ojn | Santa Clara, Wed-Fri this week | 22:50 |
| plars | ah | 22:50 |
| plars | forgot that was this week | 22:50 |
| ojn | ARM announced and is pushing their new GPU stuff as well | 22:51 |
| ojn | Oh, and they're announcing Sparrow tomorrow | 22:51 |
