| 02:19.06 | gnif | hi all :D |
| 02:20.36 | gnif | anybody here? |
| 02:34.40 | gnif | I will just hang about until someone responds... |
| 02:35.08 | gnif | I have a magician, and I have managed to get it booting a 2.6.18-rc7 kernel |
| 02:35.25 | gnif | But... no matter what I do, I can not get it to load an initrd image |
| 02:35.42 | gnif | During boot I get: |
| 02:36.02 | gnif | RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM dis: image starting at 0. |
| 02:36.08 | gnif | *disk |
| 02:37.05 | gnif | The image starting at 0 makes me think the kernel is not getting the intrid address, or something... unless its supposed to be located at 0 |
| 02:37.18 | gnif | just looks wrong to me |
| 02:39.10 | gnif | anyway, i have built initrd, crafs, ext2/3 and ramdisk support into the kernel, but I still have no success. |
| 02:40.35 | gnif | I was suggested to use the "bigkernel" version of HaRET, but since there is no HTC version that I can find... it seems pretty useless. |
| 02:41.01 | gnif | Also, my kernel is only 3.2M uncompressed, so I dont think its overwriting the initrd image on decompression |
| 02:46.46 | gnif | going to jump into #handhelds.org and see if someone there can help |

| 09:00.38 | gnif | nope, that didnt fix it |
| 09:00.48 | catphish | morning |
| 09:00.53 | gnif | yello |
| 09:01.09 | gnif | i am about ready to tear my hair out |
| 09:01.15 | catphish | what u trying to do? |
| 09:01.28 | gnif | i had a test initrd image working... |
| 09:01.38 | catphish | what device? |
| 09:01.45 | gnif | magician |
| 09:02.05 | gnif | it loads the image, no errors |
| 09:02.11 | gnif | just doesnt execute linuxrc |
| 09:02.20 | catphish | what are ur kernel params? |
| 09:02.28 | gnif | root=/dev/loop0 init=/linuxrc initrd console=tty0 mem=63M |
| 09:02.48 | catphish | does it mount /dev/loop0? |
| 09:02.55 | gnif | the initrd image does |
| 09:03.05 | gnif | but linuxrc never executes |
| 09:03.11 | catphish | usually with initrd u need root=/dev/ram0 |
| 09:03.26 | catphish | otherwise it'll try to mount the loop before the inittrd |
| 09:03.39 | gnif | ahhh, i thought it was the other way around |
| 09:03.47 | catphish | i've seen it both ways |
| 09:03.50 | gnif | it tried to mount loop0 after the initrd process finished |
| 09:03.52 | catphish | im not sure how it decides |
| 09:03.57 | gnif | i will try the other |
| 09:04.26 | catphish | if u do root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc it will run the initrd from the rd |
| 09:04.39 | gnif | btw, why does everyone use "mem=63M" and not 64? |
| 09:04.41 | catphish | but then that initrc has to be responsible for mounting the rootfs |
| 09:04.50 | catphish | i dont use it at all |
| 09:05.52 | gnif | ok, thats better |
| 09:05.56 | catphish | cool |
| 09:06.00 | gnif | diff error tho |
| 09:06.08 | gnif | failed to execute /linuxrc |
| 09:06.27 | catphish | i dont use ramdisks tbh |
| 09:06.34 | catphish | i've had too many problems like that |
| 09:06.48 | gnif | it ok, I am just learning |
| 09:07.33 | gnif | i want to make it mount a loopback file on the MMC that contains a linux install |
| 09:07.34 | catphish | the kernel should mount whatever disk you tell it to, then run whatever init program you tell it to, but with initrd's i don't think its always that simple |
| 09:07.38 | gnif | and boot from that |
| 09:08.20 | gnif | whats annoying is, I had it working about 45 mins ago |
| 09:08.29 | gnif | with another initrd I made |
| 09:08.29 | catphish | lol |
| 09:08.45 | catphish | im frustrated cos mine boots perfectly but I have no way to communicate with it |
| 09:09.01 | catphish | no keyboard, irda doesnt work, bluetooth doesnt work, wifi doesnt work, usb doesnt work |
| 09:09.10 | gnif | what device? |
| 09:09.13 | catphish | alpine |
| 09:09.26 | gnif | i thought they had more support then the magician |
| 09:10.09 | catphish | nope |
| 09:10.41 | catphish | "Apache (the kernel boots)" "Magician (GPE works, phone, sound and battery charging don't work yet)" |
| 09:11.27 | catphish | to the best of my knowledge nobody's ever managed to log onto an alpine |
| 09:11.33 | gnif | actually, sound is working now, and I think charging has been fixed |
| 09:11.49 | catphish | lol |
| 09:11.51 | gnif | sound thanks to zabel |
| 09:12.03 | gnif | he has been pioneering the work on this phone |
| 09:12.09 | catphish | all the work on the alpine has been by cr2 to make the kernel boot |
| 09:12.13 | catphish | and he doesnt even own one |
| 09:12.31 | gnif | lol |
| 09:12.45 | gnif | i am trying to get involved, but I cant even build a basic install |
| 09:12.49 | gnif | *system |
| 09:14.03 | catphish | i'm in the same situation, but after a week of constant work i'm starting to understand the hardware |
| 09:14.12 | gnif | ahh, wait a sec... i dont think i put ram0 into the dev dir |
| 09:14.35 | catphish | udev should deal with that? |
| 09:14.44 | gnif | its too early for udev, remember |
| 09:16.00 | gnif | the kernel mounts the initrd image, then tries to start, in this order /bin/init /sbin/init /init /linuxrc |
| 09:16.15 | gnif | then udev can be started |
| 09:16.41 | gnif | but it wont run /linuxrc for me :( |
| 09:18.58 | gnif | hey, do you know why haret loads the kernel, then initrd after it? why not reverse that so that when the kernel decompresses it has as much room as it needs without risking overwritng the kernel |
| 09:19.55 | gnif | overwritng the kernel = overwritng the initrd |
| 09:25.21 | catphish | beats me |
| 09:25.27 | gnif | lol |
| 09:25.34 | catphish | what are you using the initrd for out of interest? |
| 09:25.55 | catphish | i tend just to compile drivers needed for booting into the monolithic kernel |
| 09:26.18 | gnif | i want to boot into a loopback root |
| 09:26.29 | gnif | a initrd is needed to mount the loopback |
| 09:26.32 | catphish | oh of course |
| 09:26.44 | catphish | using FAT SD card? |
| 09:26.49 | gnif | typ |
| 09:26.52 | gnif | yup |
| 09:27.09 | gnif | i dont see any reason why it wont work |
| 09:27.24 | catphish | does your initrd mount successfully then? |
| 09:27.29 | gnif | yes |
| 09:28.02 | gnif | i just re-build busybox hoping its an issue there |
| 09:28.59 | gnif | nope |
| 09:29.14 | gnif | still broke... perhaps i need the "keepinitrd" line |
| 09:32.07 | catphish | dumb question, but is /linuxrc executable? |

| 09:32.22 | gnif | lol, not dumb, that was my 1st problem :P |
| 09:32.29 | gnif | but yes, its executable |
| 09:32.43 | catphish | ok |
| 09:34.20 | rob_w | he all |
| 09:34.31 | gnif | hello |
| 09:35.00 | gnif | how good are you with initrds? |
| 09:35.57 | gnif | Argh, I FOUND IT |
| 09:36.03 | gnif | busybox |
| 09:36.09 | gnif | Choose your default shell (none) <-- NONE! |
| 09:36.35 | catphish | hey rob |
| 09:37.42 | gnif | ok, scping myself the new initrd |
| 09:37.44 | rob_w | hey dudes,, whats up |
| 09:38.12 | catphish | im being frustrated by my inability to make any of the hardware in my alpine work |
| 09:38.29 | gnif | well, i am a n00b new to this place trying to get my magician to run a real OS |
| 09:39.32 | gnif | it worked!!! linuxrc ran :D |
| 09:39.46 | catphish | cool |
| 09:40.10 | gnif | do i just use vfat for the mmc fs? |
| 09:40.48 | catphish | yep |
| 09:41.11 | catphish | well, i formatted my card with vfat and wince reads it |
| 09:41.35 | catphish | so i guess so |
| 09:41.43 | gnif | oh, one thing thats been bugging me... do i have to hard reset my device every time i booot linux, or is there a way around it? |
| 09:42.13 | catphish | hard reset is the only way i know |
| 09:42.29 | catphish | problem is linux uses wince's memory without any regard for whats in it |
| 09:42.37 | catphish | so crashes it unrecoverabely |
| 09:42.51 | gnif | thought so |
| 09:43.12 | gnif | YAY, initrd just mounted the MMC, and is creating me a brand new ext2 file :D |
| 09:43.22 | catphish | cool |
| 09:44.24 | gnif | i wonder if i could cross compile a debian install :S |
| 09:44.40 | catphish | it would be nice to write a wince program that filled a big block of memory with nothing, then put linux in that RAM, but i'm not sure if its possible as I know nothing about memory |
| 09:44.54 | catphish | you could run anything i guess |
| 09:45.02 | rob_w | catphish, i had this assumption also .. |
| 09:45.20 | gnif | i dont think you can |
| 09:45.36 | catphish | problem is linux needs continuous memory |
| 09:45.37 | rob_w | but it seems with ppc 2005 this proplem goes away , ,universal people said that |
| 09:45.38 | gnif | the kernel expects to be loaded at 0x48000 |
| 09:45.45 | catphish | and any program in wince would have its memory scattered |
| 09:46.25 | catphish | actually im not sure about that, but that was my understanding of the problem |
| 09:47.14 | catphish | hard reset wouldnt be such a problem if my alpine didnt have loads of boot scripts including a compulsary tutorial |
| 09:47.29 | catphish | i have to learn how to use the touchscreen every reboot |
| 09:48.00 | gnif | lol, me 2 |
| 09:48.08 | gnif | i have removed all the scripts from mine tho |
| 09:48.13 | gnif | no oem crap on mine |
| 09:48.51 | catphish | ah, i couldnt really b bothered, i just do a soft reset when the scrits start and that kills it |
| 09:49.21 | gnif | magician only have limited ram, so it was more about gettin that space back |
| 09:54.58 | gnif | what exacly is opie? |
| 09:57.00 | catphish | its qt based gui for pocket operating systems |
| 09:57.20 | catphish | http://opie.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/ |
| 09:57.34 | gnif | does it support the phone? |
| 09:57.58 | catphish | im not sure |
| 09:58.07 | catphish | im not even close to worrying about that yet |
| 09:59.38 | gnif | hah, neither am i... just thought I would ask |
| 09:59.54 | catphish | im working with opie since i use kde |
| 09:59.59 | gnif | so where are most of you peeps from? I am in Australia |
| 10:00.25 | catphish | UK |
| 10:01.04 | gnif | yeah, i figured that most of you were over there, ppc phones seem to be bigger there |

| 10:35.10 | catphish | hi |
| 10:35.12 | gnif | was thinking... what if i get a basic gentoo system on it... then you could just emerge existing packages |
| 10:35.33 | catphish | i dont know if gentoo has been ported to arm? |
| 10:35.40 | gnif | it isnt "ported" |
| 10:35.50 | gnif | gentoo is in raw source |
| 10:35.54 | gnif | you compile everything |
| 10:36.11 | gnif | so essently you build your own port |
| 10:36.37 | catphish | yes but the package manager knows which apps will compile on which archs |
| 10:36.44 | gnif | ahh, true |
| 10:36.53 | catphish | and if theres no data for arm then it wont work vy well |
| 10:36.55 | gnif | i havnt used gentoo in years |
| 10:37.02 | gnif | was just an idea |
| 10:37.07 | catphish | its possible |
| 10:37.27 | catphish | and i'd love to do it |
| 10:37.32 | catphish | but again its a long way off yet |
| 10:37.36 | catphish | im still battling the kernel :) |
| 10:37.47 | gnif | yes, but if you have to maintain a repository, you may aswell have a debian repository to maintain |
| 10:38.50 | gnif | whats broken in your phone again, why cant you telnet/ssh into it? |
| 10:39.24 | catphish | i cant ssh because none of the drivers i could use to link it to a pc are working |
| 10:39.47 | gnif | not even IRDA? |
| 10:39.52 | catphish | usb gadget driver segfaults the kernel, irda/bluetooth just dont seem to work |
| 10:40.03 | catphish | its vy hard to debug when u cant run commands on it |
| 10:40.33 | gnif | yeah, i know what you mean, i do dev for xbox linux... no serial output/output at all until the framebuffer loads |
| 10:40.47 | gnif | just has no legacy devices at all |
| 10:41.01 | catphish | indeed |
| 10:41.04 | gnif | its a nightmare |
| 10:41.10 | catphish | luckily the lcd works ok |
| 10:41.31 | gnif | well atleast you can fill it with printks |
| 10:45.43 | catphish | yep |
| 10:45.49 | catphish | im new to kernel hacking |
| 10:45.55 | catphish | probably shoulda started on a pc |
| 10:46.16 | gnif | problem is, everything worth starting with is already done |
| 10:46.25 | catphish | true |
| 10:46.30 | gnif | i am new to it all aswell |
| 10:46.40 | gnif | only been digging in the sources the last few weeks |
| 10:46.50 | catphish | main problem i have atm is the usb gadget driver crashes the kernel |
| 10:47.11 | catphish | http://www.handhelds.org/hypermail/kernel-discuss/13/1352.html |
| 10:47.14 | gnif | what is the usb gadget? does it turn the phone into an ethernet adaptor of sorts? |
| 10:47.22 | catphish | yes |
| 10:47.39 | catphish | or a serial adapter, or whatever it wants to pretend to be |
| 10:47.58 | catphish | but theres a bug in the driver |
| 10:48.35 | gnif | have you tried the patches from Zabel? |
| 10:48.42 | catphish | no |
| 10:49.04 | gnif | they are for the magician, but the gadgets stuff should be universal |
| 10:49.08 | gnif | for the pxa2 |
| 10:49.16 | catphish | where are they? |
| 10:49.21 | gnif | getting url |
| 10:49.28 | catphish | not in the hh cvs? |
| 10:49.32 | gnif | nope |

| 10:55.03 | gnif | but you can use them for reference |
| 10:55.18 | catphish | what do they apply to? |
| 10:55.20 | gnif | the gadget stuff may be identical |

| 10:56.02 | gnif | its what I am using atm |
| 10:56.17 | gnif | if you want, I can see if I can pull out the gadget stuff and tar it |
| 10:57.09 | catphish | might be easier to mail the whoel file |
| 10:57.12 | catphish | how big is it? |

| 10:59.33 | gnif | i would do a diff first to see if there is any changes tho |
| 11:00.41 | gnif | whoops, i forgot to tar the headers, yell if you need em |
| 11:01.00 | catphish | i'll just write over the files and see iuf it compiles |

| 11:01.17 | gnif | would be good to have a diff tho |

| 11:07.27 | catphish | are you using the universal disk image? |
| 11:07.30 | catphish | or make ur own? |
| 11:08.43 | catphish | well it doesnt compile |
| 11:08.46 | gnif | i make my own |
| 11:08.51 | catphish | think i need headers |
| 11:09.01 | gnif | i will tar the whole gadget dir |
| 11:09.06 | catphish | cheers |
| 11:10.34 | catphish | i might be much better off with the whole kernel |
| 11:10.47 | catphish | altho |
| 11:10.54 | catphish | that wont have alpine bits |
| 11:10.57 | catphish | so no |
| 11:12.03 | gnif | no, it doesnt |
| 11:12.09 | gnif | what was your email again? |
| 11:12.12 | catphish | i might need include/asm/arch/pxa-regs.h |
| 11:12.21 | gnif | ok |
| 11:12.36 | catphish | charliesatqualcommdotcom |
| 11:15.34 | catphish | the alpine and magician have almost the same cpu |
| 11:15.42 | catphish | which contains the usb controller |
| 11:15.57 | catphish | makes my life easy |
| 11:16.55 | catphish | ah got it :) |
| 11:17.03 | gnif | got what? |
| 11:17.08 | gnif | sorry, kinda afk |
| 11:17.28 | catphish | i got the patches |
| 11:17.31 | catphish | u sent em earlier |
| 11:17.37 | gnif | ahh |
| 11:18.48 | gnif | just sent the gadget dir |
| 11:19.02 | gnif | bbs, got a box that has died i have to look at |
| 11:19.07 | catphish | ok |
| 11:30.32 | gnif | ok, back |
| 11:30.35 | gnif | how did it go? |
| 11:31.30 | catphish | havent really got anywhere |
| 11:31.41 | catphish | it wont compile if i copy yours over mine |
| 11:31.41 | gnif | no :( |
| 11:31.54 | catphish | its probably including lots of things |
| 11:32.52 | catphish | hmm now it compiled... |
| 11:32.55 | catphish | interesting |
| 11:33.15 | gnif | cool |
| 11:33.25 | gnif | that using the gadget dir? |
| 11:33.36 | gnif | or just replaced the pxa files? |
| 11:33.50 | catphish | wait |
| 11:34.20 | catphish | drivers/usb/gadget/pxa27x_udc.c:1291: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type |
| 11:34.23 | catphish | i get lots of that |
| 11:34.29 | gnif | damn |
| 11:34.32 | catphish | drivers/usb/gadget/pxa27x_udc.c:1370: error: unknown field `ep_alloc' specified in initializer |
| 11:34.35 | gnif | i didnt when I compiled |
| 11:34.44 | gnif | must be due to the age of the kernel |
| 11:34.51 | catphish | problem is your pxa code will be including things |
| 11:35.25 | gnif | nah, i dont think so |
| 11:35.25 | catphish | can you send me your kernel pls |
| 11:35.39 | gnif | its too big to send on my pipe |
| 11:35.40 | catphish | (compiled) |
| 11:35.47 | catphish | ah |
| 11:36.07 | gnif | umm, it deff wont boot on your device |
| 11:36.42 | catphish | ok |
| 11:36.48 | catphish | i wnt try it then |
| 11:36.51 | gnif | just go to kernel.org |
| 11:36.59 | gnif | get the 2.6.17.tar.bz kernel |
| 11:37.04 | catphish | ok |
| 11:37.13 | gnif | not 2.6.17-X one |
| 11:37.29 | gnif | where x = a revision |
| 11:37.32 | catphish | i have linux-2.6.17.tar.bz2 |
| 11:37.37 | gnif | cool |
| 11:37.44 | catphish | im running it lol |
| 11:37.47 | catphish | on my workstation |
| 11:37.52 | gnif | lol |
| 11:38.00 | gnif | ok, decompress it (obviously) |
| 11:38.14 | catphish | doing |
| 11:38.30 | catphish | your device and mine are very similar |
| 11:38.37 | gnif | get -> patch-2.6.18-rc7.bz2 |
| 11:38.43 | gnif | from kernel.org |
| 11:38.44 | catphish | there cant be much stopping your kernel booting |
| 11:38.55 | gnif | dont know... you will have to have a play |
| 11:39.12 | catphish | sure |
| 11:39.17 | catphish | im downloading that patch |
| 11:39.20 | catphish | kernel.org is slow |
| 11:39.24 | gnif | yup |
| 11:39.29 | gnif | then run: |
| 11:39.45 | gnif | bzcat patch-2.6.18-rc7.bz2 | patch -p1 |
| 11:39.49 | gnif | inside the kernel directory |
| 11:39.52 | catphish | ok |
| 11:40.17 | catphish | done |
| 11:40.19 | gnif | that will bring it up to the latest development snapshot :D |
| 11:40.26 | gnif | get: patch-2.6.18-rc7-git2.bz2 |
| 11:40.28 | gnif | and do the same |
| 11:41.18 | catphish | done |
| 11:41.30 | gnif | decompress the patches i sent you |
| 11:41.49 | catphish | ok |
| 11:41.54 | gnif | and apply them in the order that is listed in the file "series" |
| 11:43.29 | catphish | ok that worked |
| 11:43.38 | gnif | thats it, now your up to where i am |
| 11:43.44 | catphish | :) |
| 11:44.15 | gnif | btw, what cross compiler are you using? |
| 11:44.51 | catphish | 3.4.1 pre-built |
| 11:45.06 | gnif | i built my own using crosstool |
| 11:45.07 | catphish | how do i tell the kernel to compile for arm? |
| 11:45.25 | gnif | export ARCH=arm |
| 11:45.26 | gnif | export CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/crosstool/gcc-4.1.0-glibc-2.3.2/arm-xscale-linux-gnu/bin/arm-xscale-linux-gnu- |
| 11:45.34 | gnif | change CROSS_COMPILE for your use |
| 11:46.18 | catphish | should it be set to xxx-gcc? |
| 11:46.27 | gnif | yeah, whatever you use |
| 11:46.31 | catphish | ok |
| 11:46.47 | gnif | obviously I am using a gcc 4.1.0 compiler :D |
| 11:47.15 | gnif | was damn easy to get going aswell |
| 11:47.22 | gnif | crosstool is awesome |
| 11:49.36 | catphish | hmm it wont compile :( |
| 11:50.13 | catphish | cc1: error: invalid option `abi=aapcs-linux' |
| 11:50.36 | gnif | oh |
| 11:50.47 | gnif | run "make magician_defconfig" |
| 11:50.55 | catphish | that ran fine |
| 11:51.14 | gnif | you already did that? |
| 11:51.19 | catphish | yeah |
| 11:51.31 | gnif | dunno, i never had that error |
| 11:51.39 | gnif | what distro are you running? |
| 11:51.44 | catphish | gentoo |
| 11:51.51 | catphish | it compiled the hh kernel fine |
| 11:51.56 | catphish | but i never had to set the arch |
| 11:51.59 | gnif | yeah, i would say thats fine |
| 11:52.03 | catphish | it was defined in the tree |
| 11:52.24 | gnif | doing it on the command is the same as doing it in the makefile |
| 11:52.46 | gnif | what does "echo $CROSS_COMPILE" give you |
| 11:53.38 | catphish | wait |
| 11:53.43 | catphish | i put it in the makefile |
| 11:53.45 | catphish | testing |
| 11:54.19 | gnif | did you set it to "arm-" and not "arm-gcc"? |
| 11:54.29 | gnif | or whatever your prefix is |
| 11:54.29 | catphish | i set arm-linux- |
| 11:54.39 | gnif | should be fine |
| 11:55.39 | catphish | weird |
| 11:55.58 | gnif | could be that you need >= gcc v 4? |
| 11:56.17 | gnif | hahaha |
| 11:56.21 | catphish | i'll try it |
| 11:56.23 | gnif | Auto-ignoring catphish for 10 minutes [MSG flood] |
| 11:56.30 | catphish | thats nt nice |
| 11:56.34 | catphish | i only sent u 1 message |
| 11:56.40 | gnif | my client did it |
| 11:56.48 | catphish | i know lol |
| 11:56.51 | gnif | i get those HAS_TOUCHSCREEN ones |
| 11:57.11 | catphish | ah i sent it all as 1 multiline message |
| 11:58.23 | catphish | i removed the compiler switch from the makefile and it works now |
| 12:03.07 | catphish | i'll find out how compatible the devices are in a sec |
| 12:03.28 | catphish | hopefully i can apply the alpine patches to the new kernel |
| 12:10.24 | catphish | well it doesnt boot out of the box |
| 12:10.27 | catphish | no surprise there |
| 12:33.47 | gnif | sorry, my old man has no clue with linux |
| 12:33.53 | gnif | and its basically his job |
| 12:34.47 | catphish | lol |
| 12:34.55 | catphish | i found a patch for my original problem |
| 12:34.59 | catphish | so im gonna try that |
| 12:59.29 | catphish | i really should be able to make the irda work |
| 12:59.34 | catphish | maybe i'll go back to that |
