11:22.59iddqdhi, All.
11:23.31zumbi_hi iddqd
11:23.57iddqdcan i have little help with booting linux on pxe270 machine?
11:24.25zumbi_do you know who is ben dooks is in IRC ?
11:24.47iddqdsorry?
11:24.55zumbi_iddqd: i dunno handhelds, but what is your problem?
11:25.27iddqdthe problem looks simple: just plain hangup right after haret jumps to kernel
11:25.55iddqdin haretlog.txt i have last line `Go Go Go...' and thats it
11:26.40zumbi_wow, i have no idea, maybe someone else in the room can help you -- sorry
11:27.58iddqdzumbi_:little googling gave me "From: Ben Dooks <>" on LKML. you've told me about him?
11:30.39zumbi_iddqd: yes, he codes kernel stuff for the samsung chips
11:31.10zumbi_i am after him because i want to know where are his latests changes on s3c adc driver
11:33.31iddqdnever heard about him :-). i'm a very newbie in linux on arm. and in linux hacking also.
11:34.50zumbi_i have always been a newbie :-)
11:36.37iddqdit's kinda hard to dig information about low-level stuff. and therefore the only way is to do try-and-error method.
11:37.20zumbi_i disagree, there are lots of info, it just takes time to understand (read the code, luke !)
11:37.47iddqdi tried about 10 different kernels (inculded self-compiled) and none of 'em worked.
11:38.02zumbi_the learning curve in embedded stuff it is somehow long
11:38.14iddqdevery kernel just hung. not even printing "Unpacking Linux..."
11:39.26zumbi_was the bootloader passing the right args to the kernel? did you have the right machine ID? those are some things you need to check
11:41.01iddqdah, my other question was right about `mtype'. what has `arch/arm/tools/mach-types' to do with compiled kernel, bootloader, etc?
11:41.15iddqdis it user somehow during kernel build?
11:41.24iddqds/user/used/
11:41.33iddqdlol
11:42.48zumbi_yes, mach-types are used
11:43.11iddqdthen i wonder, how do i set it during kernel build?
11:44.07zumbi_iddqd: you might have to give a value to some env variable in your bootloader
11:47.16iddqdmy bootloader (haret) is pretty good at it. at least it passes correct MTYPE to kernel.
11:47.34iddqdbut how do i know whether kernel supports that MTYPE?
11:48.24zumbi_look the mach-types file
11:50.23iddqdand? a believe, that for my hx2490b MTYPE is 709. at least hx2750 is very similar to it. haret writes in its log that exactly that MTYPE is passed to kernel
11:51.51zumbi_hx2750MACH_HX2750HX2750709
11:51.59iddqdyep
11:52.05zumbi_hx2750 MACH_HX2750 HX2750 709
11:52.31zumbi_i dunno if you need another mach type
11:53.28iddqdwhat i'd like to know is how do i set MTYPE for kernel _building_? if it really matters.
11:58.42zumbi_i dunno, maybe http://www.glomationinc.com/PortingLinuxKernel.pdf can help you
11:59.39iddqdthanks. lets see...
