[12:52] <lilstevie> is anyone about who knows about troubleshooting initramfs :p
[13:09] <lool> lilstevie: grep maybe_break /usr/share/initramfs-tools -r
[13:09] <lool> lilstevie: pass break=top, break=modules etc. on your cmdline, and you're good to debug
[13:09] <lool> lilstevie: Now you know as much as I do  :-)
[13:09] <lilstevie> haha
[13:09] <lilstevie> i actually get stuck at the command line
[13:10] <lilstevie> and i have no input devices
[13:11] <lilstevie> i need to find out where my rootfs lays under ubuntus /dev structure :p
[13:12] <ogra> lilstevie, make sure udev runs or that you have support for your input devices compiled in
[13:13] <ogra> is that an ubuntu kernel or your own build
[13:13] <lilstevie> i have nil in the sense of input devices without touch
[13:13] <lilstevie> and it is a hybrid kern
[13:14] <ogra> hybrid ??
[13:14] <lilstevie> well parts of it are for the device, minus the android stuff
[13:15] <ogra> have you compiled it yourself ?
[13:15] <lilstevie> yes
[13:15] <ogra> did you make sure all options needed for a recent udev are enabled (i.e. signalfd comes to mind)
[13:15] <lilstevie> no i didnt
[13:16] <ogra> k, that should be the first step you take
[13:16] <ogra> then make sure that all your modules for your input devices are in your rootfs before rolling the initrd
[13:16] <ogra> they should end up in the initrd
[13:17] <ogra> and be automatically loaded by udev
[13:17] <lilstevie> all of the drivers modules are in place, but i have a lack of input without a touch keyboard
[13:17] <ogra> ah
[13:18] <ogra> how about usb ?
[13:18] <ogra> can you attach a usb kbd ?
[13:18] <lilstevie> no
[13:18] <ogra> hmm, tricky
[13:18] <lilstevie> there is a keyboard attachment but i dont have one myself
[13:19] <ogra> then i assume its guesswork for the root= cmdline option
[13:20] <lilstevie> under the android mapping it is /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
[13:20] <lilstevie> but i have no idea here :/
[13:20] <ogra> well, if its the same kernel it might end up with the same name
[13:20] <ogra> else i would just try /dev/mmcblk0p3
[13:20] <lilstevie> ok
[13:21] <lilstevie> so are there any specific kernel options that i should be looking for to enable udev support
[13:21] <ogra> google for it, i dont know all of them from the top of my head
[13:22] <ogra> signalfd is definitely one
[13:22] <ogra> syvipc and ipc_ns too i think
[13:23] <ogra> and sysvipc_sysctl
[13:23] <ogra> google might be more precise though
[13:29]  * ogra is out for the day
[13:34] <lilstevie> later ogra
[13:35] <lilstevie> and thanks
[13:35] <lilstevie> i had 1 option in the kernel config that would have prevented udev working
[13:40] <lool> lilstevie: Which one?
[13:47] <lilstevie> depreciated hotplug manager
