[06:55] <MrCurious_> i have a memory mapped device.  I need to get linux to load to a different location in ram (one that doesnt conflict with a mem mapped device)
[06:56] <MrCurious_> this is on a gumstix.
[07:25] <infinity> MrCurious_: If you know what address your device lives at, you can tell the kernel on the cmdline to only use specific segments.
[07:25] <infinity> mem=460M@0x80000000 mem=256M@0xA0000000
[07:25] <infinity> ^-- For instance, uses two chunks starting at those addresses.
[07:25] <MrCurious_> 0x85d00000 - 0x862fffff
[07:25] <MrCurious_> and i am using something like
[07:25] <MrCurious_> mmcargs=setenv bootargs mem=93M@0x80000000 mem=128M@0x88000000
[07:26] <infinity> Pretty sure there's an inverse cmdline argument to leave holes as well.
[07:26] <MrCurious_> but it appears that the kernel overlaps
[07:27] <MrCurious_> looks like i can pass in the start/end when inserting the module
[07:27] <MrCurious_> other errors now
[07:43] <MrCurious_> makes me think i patched the kernel improperly
[11:34] <xranby_ac100> interesting awesome wm makes Xorg crash
[19:56] <badZeppelin> Has anyone succeeded installing powervr-omap-dkms under oneriric with kernel 3.0.0-omap?
[19:57] <badZeppelin> I'm getting an error about a missing plat/display.h header
[19:57] <badZeppelin> I see that it got lost between 2.6.38 and 3.0.0
[19:58] <badZeppelin> should I stick to the 2.6.38 kernel?
[20:58] <MrCurious_> badzeppelin: sounds like an easy enough premise to test... add it and see how it goes.
