bandwidthcrunch_Is there anyway i can extract the uInitrd created for the omap net installer ogra ?06:16
persiaYou could dd it off the image.06:18
persiaOh, net image.06:19
* persia suspects that might already be available06:19
NCommanderpersia: depends on how ogra did the uInitrd creation scripts06:19
persiaRight, but for netboot, it's also available direct from http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/lucid/main/installer-armel/current/images/omap/netboot/omap/06:20
bandwidthcrunch_Its created using mkimage06:21
bandwidthcrunch_I wanted to extract the ramdisk image06:21
persiaOh, to un-mkimage it?  I don't know how to do that, sorry.06:23
bandwidthcrunch_neither do i :(06:25
NCommanderbandwidthcrunch_: you need to strip off the first 64 bits06:32
NCommanderdd if=uImage of=initramfs bs=64 skip=1 should work06:32
bandwidthcrunch_That would give us a compressed initrd ?06:33
persiaWell, initramfs (which differs from initrd in subtle ways), but it ought.06:36
persiaGive it a try : worst case you end up with a file to delete :)06:36
bandwidthcrunch_Its a compressed initrd which when uncompressed gives a cpio archive06:38
persiaSo it was successful?  You got what you needed?06:41
bandwidthcrunch_yeah it was . A cpio -iv < initramfs extracted the files06:45
bandwidthcrunch_I need to bootstrap a device to install a custom lucid version. Have anyone of you noticed a lot of segfaults happening on the omap when apt-get when using the netbook remix version of the same?06:46
persiaThe netbook-remix version of apt-get?06:47
bandwidthcrunch_Yes persia noticing a lot of segfaults when trying to apt-get06:48
persiaCould you describe your configuration?  I'm not sure I understand which combination of software you're using.06:49
bandwidthcrunch_spcifically ubuntu-10.04-netbook-armel+omap.img about http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/lucid/release/06:49
persiaOK.  Cool.  No special remix software then.06:50
persia(we use the term "remix" to indicate when something mixes Ubuntu with other modified sources to generate a new thing)06:50
bandwidthcrunch_Just the omap image mentioned above with the netbook-launcher-efl (2D desktop using e17)06:51
persiaI've not heard about segfaults on omap much.  Please file a bug (with `ubuntu-bug apt`) describing the issue.  If you run that on the target system, it will add all the right tags to make sure the right folks look at it.06:51
persiaRIght.06:51
bandwidthcrunch_Let me study it a bit more and will file the bugs06:52
persiaThanks.06:55
persiaIt *should* work fine.  I know several folks use it regularly.06:55
persiaAnd you're sure it's SIGSEGV and not SIGILL?  We had a lot of SIGILL during the transition to -mthumb206:55
bandwidthcrunch_Its should ideally work. I tried it on the babbage and the omap. The babbage looked stable enough. I extracted the live images squashfs and dumped it on the omap and then saw this segfaults. Maybe the live CD software is meant to run in ram06:58
bandwidthcrunch_Let me spend some more time on it and get back to you persia07:00
persiaGood luck.  Don't worry about getting back to me specifically: there's usually several folks around who know more than I :)07:01
bandwidthcrunch_Thanks :)07:02
DanaGhmm, http://ossguy.com/?p=31707:37
DanaGwonder if that's gigabit.07:37
DanaGnow it's "netbook edition", not "netbook remix"07:37

ogralool, i'm sure you once filed a whishlist bug for qemu to support 512M, do you remember the bugnumber, i seem to not be able to find it10:59
loologra: I dont have it11:14
ograok11:14
* ogra has two subsequent bugs that are caused by it, i wanted to make them duplicates of a wishlist bug 11:14
ographwe ... there are a lot new arches in debians flash-kernel11:15
* ogra goes to merge11:15
rcn-eehey ogra, i've been messing around with gdb (qemu bug) not sure if you ran into the same issue when you tried, but i'm getting segmenation faults... http://pastebin.com/MRCxwWZj13:28

zumbilool: rebuild Ubuntu or wait for someone to provide a rebuild; currently this aint easy, but it's on the radar of various people17:01
zumbilool: who are those people wanting a tool to bootstrap debian/ubuntu?17:02
ograzumbi, the ubuntu-arm team will work on something like that i suspect17:16
ograhttps://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-arm/17:17
ograhttps://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-arm/+spec/arm-m-automated-bootstrap looks like what you look for17:17

* cwillu_at_work pokes rcn-ee in the kernel22:08
cwillu_at_workI'm getting a checksum error when my overo tries to read /lib/libc-2.10.1.so, but when I read the file off the card on my desktop, the checksum is correct22:09
cwillu_at_workI want to blame this on the kernel :D22:10

rcn-eewhat's up cwillu_at_work just pulled in...23:23
rcn-eeumm.. checksum error.. is the disk off the usb bus or mmc?23:24

cwillu_at_workmodulo the uboot23:25
cwillu_at_workit's a btrfs checksum error23:25
rcn-eeweird... so the mmc on the overo has a different checksum on a file vs the beagle or x86..  we might have an overo mmc issue then..23:26
rcn-eeloads up sakoman's overo tree..23:26

cwillu_at_workin other news, the display works :)23:27
rcn-eethat's good to hear, and the most important part...23:27
cwillu_at_work:)23:27
cwillu_at_workyay for having multiple equally critical requirements :p23:28
rcn-eelaughs, he moved his git tree's..  probally got tired of people cloneing them when he says not too...23:29
cwillu_at_workI'm poking him in #beagle right now :p23:29
cwillu_at_workI'm also ordering a pizza23:29
cwillu_at_workwe'll see which gets here first \o/23:30
rcn-eei saw that too..  starting first beer here.. ;)23:30
cwillu_at_workoh, weird, didn't see you join there23:31
rcn-eeoh, i've been idleing for a couple days now.. (it's good to be back home, was at esc last week)23:31
cwillu_at_workhttp://www.sakoman.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi ?23:34
cwillu_at_workgit://gitorious.org/gumstix-oe/mainline.git23:34
rcn-eeah found it.. he redirects everything to "http://www.sakoman.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi" but it's hidden here: http://www.sakoman.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-omap-2.6.git;a=summary23:35
cwillu_at_workyou're aware of http://gitorious.org/linux-omap/mainline right? :p23:36
rcn-eeyeap.. i just can't get use to gitorious's interface.. i dont' know why...23:36
cwillu_at_workwhat's to get used to?  you get the clone url, you clone it, you work from the comfort of your own computer (including a git-web if you must :p)23:37
cwillu_at_workand then you build a kernel, and then I download it :)23:37
rcn-eeyeah... too many works stations.. ;)23:38
rcn-eeit's pretty quick with --references all over the place..23:38
rcn-eeis it just one mmc port on the overo?23:39
cwillu_at_workyes23:39
cwillu_at_workmicrosd port23:39
rcn-eethis looked a little interesting: http://www.sakoman.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-omap-2.6.git;a=commit;h=a64b015ff747b71c3efb1aa47d1cf5fab31f78e023:40
* cwillu_at_work clicks23:41
cwillu_at_workare you suspicious that it broke something, or suspicious that it fixes something?23:43
rcn-eelaughs, we can get rid of the message with: http://www.sakoman.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-omap-2.6.git;a=commit;h=3d92aab137a4b4b0b71f3222d778d77de58dd1f623:44
rcn-eeI'm not sure.. he has about 2-3 just tweaks like the first one and then a big sdio/mmc changeset...23:46
rcn-eei think we will have to wait till he gets back to see if he's seen any overo mmc corruption issues yet..23:47
cwillu_at_workpizza arrived \o/23:48
cwillu_at_workdo you generally pull from him?23:50
cwillu_at_worki.e., are these patches already in your kernel?23:50
rcn-eeonly for the overo stuff, and then it's mostly cherry picks...23:50
rcn-eei've actually never seen the overo board.. ;) i just know a lot of people have been using them for the last year based on my tree...23:51

cwillu_at_workthe earth is the smaller board in the middle23:54
rcn-eeit's just a little thing... neat..23:54
cwillu_at_workthe tobi is a bigger board :)23:55

cwillu_at_workthe thing I don't like is the cabling23:59
