switchat: because the problem isn't Debian, it's the VM |
| [00:55:18] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
I managed to get it installed, but I'm still trying to work out how to ssh to the stupid thing |
| [00:55:25] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
its keyboard emulation is annoyingly flaky |
| [01:07:54] |
<Switchcat> |
oh, what is your primary OS? |
| [02:52:21] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
Darwin |
| [02:52:36] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
Now I'm in the process of bootstrapping the DNS-323 |
| [02:52:44] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
100Mbps NFS ftw |
| [03:02:40] |
<Switchcat> |
darwin as in you run a mac, or as in darwin as you run darwin without all the other stuff on top of it? |
| [03:02:59] |
<Switchcat> |
(and if so, darwin without all the other stuff, why??) |

Darwin as in I spend most of my day at a shell prompt on a Macintosh |
| [10:21:56] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
hmm, I really need to figure out what the default rootfs would be. . . |
| [10:22:08] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
trying to boot my custom kernel and its dying because it wants to know what the rootfs is |
| [10:28:14] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
The stock system uses one of the mtd's |
| [10:28:26] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
third one, IIRC |
| [10:28:53] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
mtd2 |
| [10:29:04] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
er, wait |
| [10:29:05] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
this is what I get: |
| [10:29:08] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
mmc_rescan... |
| [10:29:08] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(0,0) |
| [10:29:08] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
Please append a correct "root=" boot option |
| [10:29:08] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) |
| [10:29:20] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
You need an initramfs |
| [10:29:27] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
or whatever it's called |
| [10:29:31] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
hmm |
| [10:29:43] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
the stock setup uses one, and then mounts mtd2 on /mnt/ffs |
| [10:30:21] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
thats the thing, the kernel needs to find the stock initramfs. . . |
| [10:30:31] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
I didn't create a new one |
| [10:38:58] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
It's compiled/smushed into the kernel |
| [10:39:41] |

| [10:40:42] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
hmm |
| [10:41:24] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
I'm still a nub at this, so I don't know how it's normally done |

<g1powermac_apl> |
crazymonkeypants, finally got my kernel to work :-) |
| [14:27:29] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
turned out to be the initramfs after all |
| [14:27:42] |
* |
g1powermac_apl is now building a new qtopia |
| [14:28:00] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
and at the same time poking around a bit in linux system using the serial connection |
| [14:35:16] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
So the initramfs is smushed in with the kernel somehow? |
| [14:35:21] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
yea |
| [14:35:34] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
dang, my qtopia build failed |
| [14:37:20] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
hey, do you have any idea what this /etc/cal_data_ext.conf file is for in the linux system on the z2? |
| [14:38:06] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
that is one odd file |
| [14:41:56] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
I have not actually looked at it |
| [14:42:55] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
its definitely some kind of configuration data, and by the name, I figure it maybe for some external hardware calibration |
| [14:44:58] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
I have a suspicion it's probably antenna calibration data for the wifi |
| [14:47:03] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
hmm, may be |
| [14:48:04] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
It's handled by the app, at any rate |

<g1powermac_apl> |
well, fixed the qtopia build |
| [15:24:24] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
I must have never built qtopia on this machine |
| [15:24:36] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
8) |
| [15:24:43] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
Now I have to work out how to build blob |
| [15:24:45] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
or something |
| [15:25:55] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
man, this machine sounds like a vacuum cleaner when compiling anything big |

g1powermac_apl has been a hacking tonight |
| [22:33:39] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
I got preliminary results from the usb gadget stuff |
| [22:34:17] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
first off, soldering the back connector is a royal PITA, make sure you use intermediary wires from the usb cable to the connector, something like 30 ga |
| [22:34:57] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
now, if I let the zipit app start up with the usb connected, I get this in the host's dmesg: http://pastebin.ca/1091393 |
| [22:35:43] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
basically thats saying the usb port isn't setup as expected |
| [22:36:09] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
now with the usb gadget kernel with modules I get this: http://pastebin.ca/1091401 |
| [22:36:29] |
<g1powermac_apl> |
looks like some interesting stuff on both the Host's dmesg as well as the zipits |
