[00:00] you probably don't want to build new initrd - it is easiest to just use existing one [00:00] kernel is stored in "boot.img" file, which can be built using "abootimg" tool, it is in Ubuntu's repositories, so you can just apt-get it [00:01] with it, you can extract existing boot.img, replace the zImage and build new boot.img [00:02] okay, yeah, I've seen a bit on that. [00:03] tassadar_: Urm you do need a new init, particularly if the kernel version/uname -r output is different. [00:03] initrd even [00:03] why would you? [00:04] He built a custom kernel. It depends on how this was built, but the version string may have changed. [00:04] I don't think there are any kernel modules [00:04] I built a few things as modules... [00:05] I might be able to just push them into the rootfs... [00:05] even then, you probably don't need them in initrd [00:05] guess I've always just done kernels and initrds as pairs. Old habits die hard... [00:05] are we talking about ubuntu touch or ubuntu desktop? [00:09] I _think_ desktop. The raring desktop preinstalled for nexus7. [00:09] yeah, that's desktop [00:09] yeah, this boot.img: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/raring/release/ubuntu-13.04-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+nexus7.bootimg [00:12] the existing initrd.img is ~3MB, so it has _something_ in it. I'll have to check what... [00:12] well, the init bash script and some basic tools to mount the system [00:12] *system partition [00:13] dumb question: are the build scripts used by the daily build servers in a git archive or some such? [00:13] it is built by update-initramfs and then flash-kernel package I think [00:13] might be helpful just to look at how the cdimage files are built... [00:13] or do you mean build scripts for whole image? I don't know about those [00:14] btw, abootimg -x created file "boot.cfg" or something like that. Remove parameter "bootsize" from it, and make sure you use this config file when rebuilding the boot.img [00:15] yeah, whole image. I.e. what runs every day and pushes daily builds or releases out... [00:15] okay, I'll give it a rip [00:17] flash-kernel tool can probably be used to flash the kernel...hmm [00:17] without rebuilding the image [00:17] huh [00:18] you can probably just push the zImage to /boot, put modules where there belong and generate initramfs with "update-initramfs" [00:18] and ubuntu will take care of the rest [00:20] yeah, that works for checking it out... but if I want to replicate it to some other devices later [00:20] though, I guess I could just dd back off the device after I get it like I want it... [00:20] well, it would be better if you'd learn how to build the boot.img by yourself then, it's pretty easy with abootimg anyway [01:46] So I am totally confused and desperate, that is why I am here, I have an HP pavilion m6 with an inbuilt SD slot but when i plug in the SD card (4 GB) i do not get a mount,m nothing happens. I am thinking its a driver prob but i have no idea how to verify that. === robert_ancell_ is now known as robert_ancell === TheMuso` is now known as TheMuso === fabo_ is now known as fabo === doko_ is now known as doko [08:35] mmenefee: I'm not sure if I remember correctly (it's been half a year), but I think I built a custom kernel for nexus7 (desktop) simply by running debuild in the source directory (on the tablet, not cross-compiling) and installing the produced .deb with dpkg -i [08:35] _if_ the other devices you want to replicate to already have ubuntu desktop installed, a .deb package is probably the cleanest way to replicate a new kernel (that way versions etc. are also visible in apt) [08:41] (I also remember trying to find the scripts that generate the ubuntu preinstalled images, but I didn't find them, or any documentation on how exactly these images differ from plain ubuntu or debian armhf... though I didn't look very hard) === wgrant_ is now known as wgrant === popey_ is now known as popey === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk === prpplague is now known as das_plague === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun_afk_afk === Guest74237 is now known as dk === ogra_` is now known as ogra_ [22:17] we have an AM3505 CPU in our system. Has anybody used ubuntu with this processor or a related one? [22:18] we curently use something called WindRiver linux, but are considering changing [22:44] cjoseph: am3505 is omap3 or sitara family from TI [22:45] cjoseph: perfectly fine to run ubuntu as long as you will take care of bootloader and kernel stuff [22:45] cjoseph: but no idea how X11 and video/opengles acceleration would look like === piscodig is now known as discopig
