[02:34] <eggonlea> NC, the beta livecd could successfully install to my SATA as long as network is configured. thanks!
[02:38] <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.
[02:52] <GrueMaster> eggonlea: NFS Root on arm is currently untested, but "should" work.
[02:52] <GrueMaster> what platform?
[02:55] <eggonlea> dove
[02:56] <eggonlea> i saw NFS as module in .config
[02:57] <eggonlea> is it done by initramfs?
[03:02] <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
[03:06] <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?
[03:43] <Martyn> You can, but I don't reccomend it
[03:43] <Martyn> (sorry, cooking dinner, so I'm not at the terminal very often)
[08:56] <lool> We didn't try nfsroot with initrd I'm afraid
[08:57] <eggonlea> what's your time, lool? Never thought I could met you at this time. :P
[08:59] <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
[09:00] <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
[09:01] <lool> Eh
[09:04] <eggonlea> lool: I have an open question.
[09:05] <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?
[09:07] <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
[09:08] <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
[09:09] <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?
[09:10] <eggonlea> we're planning to apply for it
[09:10] <eggonlea> but my visa is on "check"
[09:11] <eggonlea> anyway, maen should have sb. there
[09:15] <lool> Cool
[09:17] <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?
[09:35] <lool> eggonlea: Yes certainly
[09:36] <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
[09:37] <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

[22:45] <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.
[22:46] <plars> ojn: heya
[22:46] <plars> cool
[22:46] <ojn> plars: hey
[22:47] <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. :(
[22:49] <plars> ojn: handing them out? how nice!
[22:49] <plars> I don't have one of those yet
[22:50] <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
[22:51] <ojn> ARM announced and is pushing their new GPU stuff as well
[22:51] <ojn> Oh, and they're announcing Sparrow tomorrow
