13:07.31jsizzleso I guess this channel doesn't really offer any kind of support or conversation or anything else other than idling ppl eh
13:08.50spaceinvaderstuff happens sometimes
13:08.52hrwjsizzle: you are asking about familiar which not all people here use.
13:09.08hrwjsizzle: there was #familiar channel but I do not know does it still exists

13:10.51spaceinvaderchange gpe to opie or whatever if you wish
13:11.24hrwjsizzle: Angstrom, Poky - depends on device
13:11.47jsizzleI have an old ipaq h3700, what would you use on that?
13:12.08hrwjsizzle: my devices never was supported by familiar
13:12.14hrwjsizzle: I am not familiar with ipaqs
13:12.21jsizzleI've always used familiar just because its the only thing I knew of that would run on it other than M$ crap

14:53.55reyawnI mean, there is a gpe @ linuxtogo.org and a gpe @ handhelds.org
14:54.17reyawnthe same project, but it looks like they moved...not sure what this all means, since I have been doing everything off of the handhelds.org site

14:58.40hrwreyawn: GPE moved from hh.org to ltg over year ago
14:59.21reyawnhrw: thanks, I'm trying to figure everything out as a new user
15:00.01reyawnI've been running linux for a few years, but just this past weekend picked up an hp 5450 out of curiosity about the project
15:00.48reyawnseems like a sensitive subject though...
15:01.43pH5reyawn: read http://www.linuxtogo.org/word-twisting-trademark-issue-continued, http://blog.russnelson.com/opensource/ownership-issue.html, etc. for the whole soap opera.
15:08.35reyawnpH5: thanks...interesting read there
15:10.03reyawnobviously, the community as users and developers want something that works best for the project as a whole, although I can totally see the whole ownership thing being an issue if you really spent alot of time on it and consider it a pet project (I am actually going to be meeting with a bunch of people today and discussing this over a website engine that I developed and want to open source)

18:21.46victor_rx1950rmoravcik: old driver works correct
18:22.10psokolovskyvictor_rx1950: *_static_defcongif's are automatically generated by defconfigman. they will be also basis for adding machine to OE, so it's good idea to amke sure they work ok
18:22.21rmoravcikvictor_rx1950: i don't know, i can't test is, because rx3000 is using asic3_mmc

22:27.09OldSchoolNinjaHello all. I'm trying to install/use Familiar on my iPaq 5550. I've made it to the actual boot process, but it just hangs at the "Please wait: booting" screen. I've let it sit overnight to make sure it wasn't just taking it's time, to no avail. I've also rebooted several times. I have a log file from the serial console. Any help would be appreciated. (Sorry for the text dump, just trying to be descriptive :)
22:33.36psokolovskyOldSchoolNinja: try to post log on pastebin
22:39.05OldSchoolNinjaOk, I posted it
22:42.53psokolovskycool
23:00.04OldSchoolNinjapsokolovsky: Any ideas (if you were looking at it)?
23:00.12mmpOldSchoolNinja: btw, where is the dump? :)
23:00.29OldSchoolNinjaHey mmp! It's here: http://pastebin.com/937091
23:00.42mmpSorry I ran away last time, I had some school things to do next day...
23:00.46OldSchoolNinjaNo worries
23:00.56OldSchoolNinjaAt least we made some progress on getting a log

23:02.15mmphmm, and it just stops there?
23:02.19OldSchoolNinjaYep
23:02.20mmpAny SD card inserted?
23:02.23OldSchoolNinjaYea
23:02.35mmpmaybe try to remove it, just a guess...
23:02.46OldSchoolNinjaWorth a shot
23:02.53*** join/#handhelds victor_rx1950 (n=victor_d@82.211.156.169)
23:05.04OldSchoolNinjaStops at the same place.
23:06.06mmphmm, so let's summarize
23:06.13mmpit definitely initializes kernel correctly
23:06.14OldSchoolNinjaok
23:06.28mmpstarts userspace and some initscripts
23:07.54mmpOldSchoolNinja: you might try to boot to single user mode and see what happens...
23:08.16OldSchoolNinjaHow would I do that?
23:09.15mmperr, not single user, I meant to start just shell instead of /sbin/init
23:09.32OldSchoolNinjaOk, same question :)
23:09.55mmpyou need to change linuxargs, change init= to init="/bin/busybox sh"
23:10.02OldSchoolNinjaalright
23:10.04mmpor something like that, I don't quite remember:)
23:10.10OldSchoolNinjalol
23:10.29mmpthat should bring up at least the shell..
23:11.48mmpbtw, I'm not sure - if the booting stops in userspace, depending on what happens, you might be able to cancel running command by pressing ctrl-c...
23:12.17OldSchoolNinjawell here we go
23:12.50OldSchoolNinjalol, stopped in the same place...
23:13.08mmperr, with init="/bin/busybox sh" ?
23:13.48OldSchoolNinjahmm, doesn't look like it worked...
23:13.54mmpthat should not happen, unless I messed something up
23:13.56mmp:)
23:14.17mmpgive me few seconds
23:14.51OldSchoolNinjalooks like it, after I entered the set command, it tried to set init to /bin/busboot
23:14.55OldSchoolNinjakinda weird
23:16.25OldSchoolNinjaok, I'm pretty sure I screwed it up last time. Trying again.
23:16.42OldSchoolNinjaNope, same effect.
23:19.14mmphmm...
23:21.46*** join/#handhelds Disconnect (n=dis@c-68-48-132-97.hsd1.md.comcast.net)
23:25.19mmpOldSchoolNinja: maybe try "init=/bin/busybox sh"
23:25.39OldSchoolNinjaalright
23:26.05mmpbut I'm getting some very interesting errors I've not seen before
23:26.17OldSchoolNinja...cool?
23:26.18OldSchoolNinjalol
23:27.22OldSchoolNinjaooh, bash prompt
23:27.24OldSchoolNinja:)
23:28.38mmphmm, positive:)
23:29.17mmpnow you can try to load the modules from log manually and see what happens
23:29.48mmpyou can also do dmesg -n 8 before that, so you will see everything neccessary...
23:30.08OldSchoolNinjaok, how do I load them manually?
23:30.28mmpmodprobe modulename, e.g. modprobe h5400_asic
23:31.54*** join/#handhelds flypiper (n=ISP-1@74-132-15-213.dhcp.insightbb.com)
23:31.58mmpbut, honestly, I have no idea why it just stops working...
23:32.05mmpthat should not happen...
23:32.43mmpOldSchoolNinja: one more thing, try loading usb-ohci and at76c503-rfmd
23:32.51mmpI'm really curious what will happen
23:32.58OldSchoolNinjaUgh, I can't really read the log to load the modules I need
23:33.10OldSchoolNinjaIt's got those boxes that are broken characters or whatever
23:33.33mmphmm, any way, please try the two I suggested above
23:33.52mmpBut it's again just a guess
23:34.00OldSchoolNinjajust type modprobe usb-ohci and then modprobe at76c503-rfmd
23:34.01OldSchoolNinja?
23:34.06mmpyes
23:34.15mmpI hope:)
23:34.23OldSchoolNinjaok, modprobe worked
23:34.27OldSchoolNinjaer, usb one worked
23:34.55OldSchoolNinjaand the other one worked as well
23:35.09mmpno suspicious messages or freeze?
23:35.20OldSchoolNinjanope
23:35.38OldSchoolNinjaback to the prompt in under a second each time
23:35.42mmpok, let's continue
23:35.47mmpmodprobe h3600_asic_battery
23:36.08OldSchoolNinjagood
23:36.38mmpmodprobe usb-eth
23:36.52OldSchoolNinjagood
23:36.58mmpand modprobe apm
23:37.07OldSchoolNinjagood
23:38.47mmphmm, now this is weird
23:38.58OldSchoolNinjaSomething should've broken, eh?
23:39.03mmpyes
23:39.06OldSchoolNinjahmm
23:41.07mmpbtw, when you boot your ipaq normally and it freezes - after typing something, do you see echo in terminal?
23:41.36OldSchoolNinjaI don't *think* so, but I don't recall.
23:43.24mmpafter kernel is initialized, it should do echo on console...
23:43.34OldSchoolNinjaIt might, I really don't remember.
23:43.53OldSchoolNinjathough I would think if it's actually freezing, that it might not echo
23:44.00OldSchoolNinjaI could be wrong.
23:44.07OldSchoolNinjaI'm not really used to Linux freezing :)
23:44.13mmp:)
23:44.45mmpmy idea for now is - if it is just some bug in boot scripts, or some random userspace program doesn't end, you should see the echo
23:45.05OldSchoolNinjaOk
23:45.20OldSchoolNinjaShould I reboot from the console and test the theory?
23:45.24mmpif you can't see it, it is possible that something happened to kernel
23:45.44mmpyes:)
23:45.48mmplet's see what happens
23:46.36OldSchoolNinjalol, there is no shutdown command, for some reason
23:46.46OldSchoolNinjabut it gives me usage parameters
23:47.28mmptry just reboot -f
23:47.33mmpit might work...
23:47.37OldSchoolNinjanice
23:47.38mmpor might not? :)
23:47.39OldSchoolNinjait did
23:48.03OldSchoolNinjagah, but now I don't get my console log
23:48.09mmpbut use the '-f' parameter only when really neccessary
23:48.39OldSchoolNinjaok, so the backlight coming on seems to correspond to that last line where the freeze occurs, btw. And there's no echo from the console when I type
23:49.06OldSchoolNinjaThough, could that be because the console parameter is wrong?
23:49.11mmpok, so we can state that Bad Thing (tm) probably happened
23:49.17mmpmight...
23:49.18OldSchoolNinjayes
23:49.21OldSchoolNinjaok, let me try
23:49.37mmpif you did not set the console correctly, there will be no echo:)
23:49.57OldSchoolNinjathat makes me a sad panda
23:50.58OldSchoolNinjaok, console is right this time, but still no echo after Bad Thing
23:51.37OldSchoolNinjaOn a side note, ctrl-c doesn't skip the Bad Thing (figured I'd try, though it's probably a bad idea)
23:51.42OldSchoolNinja;)
23:52.18mmpok, here are some things I have on my mind
23:52.35mmpyou can try to disable module loading step by step, probably starting with h5400_asic
23:52.50mmpand see whether it helps
23:52.59OldSchoolNinjasounds painful
23:53.03mmpagain, it might or might not work
23:53.29mmpI also wonder whether there is some module which has just loaded silently.
23:53.38OldSchoolNinjaSeems possible.
23:53.57*** join/#handhelds jg (n=jg@c-069-063-212-182.sd2.redwire.net)
23:55.23OldSchoolNinjaWell, I'm willing to try whatever you think might help. At this point, it's just a fancy paperweight to me, unless I roll back to Windoze.
23:55.56mmpOldSchoolNinja: well, I'm running out of ideas, except for brute force ones, like 'try to load all modules and see what happens'...
23:56.28OldSchoolNinjaHow many modules would that be?
23:57.08mmpI have no idea - I don't have familiar on my PDA, so I can't count them easily
23:57.20OldSchoolNinjaHmm
23:57.25OldSchoolNinjaIs there another linux option?
23:57.40mmpOldSchoolNinja: stable&working - currently no..
23:57.47OldSchoolNinja:\
23:57.59mmpI have 2.6 kernel, which seems to run fine for some basic things
23:58.08mmpwith angstrom distro
23:58.46mmpbut 'basic' means that you need to activate wifi manually, buttons don't work the way you would expect, some sound problems etc.
23:59.20OldSchoolNinjaugh
23:59.43OldSchoolNinjaWhat're the odds that trying an older version of Familiar might help?
