| 19:18 | tekk | anyone got a nice i4-pro image that uses SPL uBoot etc? |
| 19:18 | tekk | all the ones i keep finding don't |
| 19:18 | tekk | including official ones |
| 20:52 | cbxbiker61 | tekk, you can replace your existing u-boot with a SPL one...that's probably the thing to do |
| 20:53 | tekk | i'm not sure how to do that unfortunately :( |
| 20:53 | tekk | any pointers? |
| 20:53 | tekk | its a bit annoying how useless i feel with cubox-i heh |
| 20:54 | cbxbiker61 | i've been using the one that comes in the geexbox latest tar |
| 20:54 | cbxbiker61 | there is a script that you will find with that that has the couple of commands you need to run to put the SPL/u-boot on the SD card |
| 20:55 | cbxbiker61 | that would be geexbox-devel-... and make-sdcard |
| 20:55 | tekk | ok great, i'll try that |
| 20:55 | tekk | then i'd be able to use your new kernels i guess |
| 20:56 | cbxbiker61 | yep |
| 20:57 | cbxbiker61 | you want to run the two dd commands from the script that write the SPL/u-boot to SD |
| 20:58 | tekk | why is this kind of stuff not documented anywhere obvious? |
| 20:59 | cbxbiker61 | i don't know...probably lack of time on the part of people that could do it |
| 21:00 | cbxbiker61 | (if i get time) i will build a SPL/u-boot and make a script that can switch it over |
| 21:09 | tekk | where did you find htose scripts inside geexbox ? |
| 21:09 | tek | 21:09 * tekk runs find . -name make-sdcard |
| 21:10 | tekk | hmm |
| 21:10 | tekk | can't find it |
| 21:10 | cbxbiker61 | no, the make-sdcard is in the same dir as the tar |
| 21:11 | cbxbiker61 | you want the tar and make-sdcard from the geexbox cubox-i latest |
| 21:11 | cbxbiker61 | give me a couple of hours and i'll whip up a script, i'm in the middle of something |
| 22:06 | cbxbiker61 | tekk, http://www.xilka.com/kernel/INSTALL-IMX-SPL-UBOOT.sh |
| 22:07 | cbxbiker61 | download that to /boot and run it with sudo |
| 22:32 | tekk | cbxbiker61, thanks for taking the time to do that for me |
| 22:32 | tekk | didn't expect :D |
| 22:32 | tekk | ok thats run |
| 22:33 | tekk | i can just reboot now and it'll auto pick up u-boot ? or do i ahve to remove the other stuff first |
| 22:35 | cbxbiker61 | i'm not sure, i really haven't done a swap-over, theoretically it should boot the old kernel, at which time you can upgrade to the new kernel |
| 22:35 | cbxbiker61 | yes about u-boot... |
| 22:36 | cbxbiker61 | the new u-boot will run |
| 22:38 | tekk | so i'll reboot now and hopefully it'll be u-boot... |
| 22:38 | tekk | 1 sec |
| 23:00 | tekk | ah i just noticed the dd at the end of the script :D |
| 23:00 | tekk | its rebooting |
| 23:02 | tekk | ok its back :D |
| 23:02 | tekk | maybe i imagined it... but it seemed to boot A LOT faster |
| 23:02 | tekk | now updating kernel using your other script :D 3.10.49 |
| 23:03 | tekk | rebooting again |
| 23:04 | tekk | hmm.. it came back but kernel is still old one |
| 23:05 | cbxbiker61 | if you've already run SET-IMX-KERNEL.sh, then i would think you need to move uImage out of the way |
| 23:05 | cbxbiker61 | the dtb stuff uses zImage |
| 23:06 | tekk | i think my /boot needs a cleanup http://pasti.ng/p/NQWlwhci |
| 23:08 | cbxbiker61 | run mount for me |
| 23:08 | tekk | http://pasti.ng/p/HkvYdjqk?kick=ass |
| 23:09 | tekk | (i'm running ubuntu 14.04 with an ARCH kernel) |
| 23:09 | cbxbiker61 | yeah, looks to me as if you need to mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 at /boot before you run the kernel stuff |
| 23:10 | cbxbiker61 | i don't know what these people are thinking....by not putting an automount for /boot |
| 23:10 | tekk | yeah df -h doesn't show that mount |
| 23:10 | tekk | where the fuck is /boot coming from now then :S |
| 23:10 | tekk | its faked on p2 ? |
| 23:10 | cbxbiker61 | it's on root |
| 23:11 | tekk | should i re-run the u-boot script too? |
| 23:11 | cbxbiker61 | mv /boot /boot-prev; mkdir /boot; mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot; cp -a /boot-prev/* /boot; then rerun the SET-IMX... |
| 23:12 | tekk | ok |
| 23:12 | tekk | i forgot to backup /boot to boot-prev =) willi unmount and do the above |
| 23:13 | cbxbiker61 | when you're done put an entry for /boot in your fstab...or do it the systemd way |
| 23:15 | tekk | will /dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat do? |
| 23:15 | tekk | (is it still vfat or just fat on modern linux) |
| 23:15 | tekk | (fstab reports p2 as fat |
| 23:15 | tekk | fdisk i mean |
| 23:16 | tekk | /dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat auto,nouser,exec,rw,async,atime 0 0 |
| 23:16 | tekk | better |
| 23:16 | tekk | noatime |
| 23:17 | tekk | rebooting |
| 23:18 | tekk | well... this is a new one. |
| 23:18 | tekk | it rebooted |
| 23:18 | tekk | responds to ping, cannot ssh in. |
| 23:19 | tekk | time to plug into a screen again i think |
| 23:19 | cbxbiker61 | hehe, this is the third time this has happened...and i still can't remember what it was....damn, i'm getting old |
| 23:20 | cbxbiker61 | something simple though |
| 23:21 | tekk | on traditional x86 grub machines... usually this could hapen when grub is waiting for a user to hit enter when a new kernel isinstalled for the first time |
| 23:21 | tekk | but that would not apply here |
| 23:21 | tekk | maybe something similar though |
| 23:21 | tekk | will plug into a screen shortly and check :) |
| 23:27 | tekk | any ideas before i do? |
| 23:31 | cbxbiker61 | seems to me the issue shows itself in the system log |
| 23:33 | tekk | its plugged in now |
| 23:34 | tekk | so its hanging on * Stopping Mount network filesystems |
| 23:35 | tekk | i hit Ctrl+C a few times... seems to cycle back to this line |
| 23:53 | tekk | still stuck :( |
| 23:56 | cbxbiker61 | tekk, go back through the chat logs over the last month or two searching for ssh, i know a couple of people have hit this |
| 23:56 | tekk | patsing |
| 23:56 | tekk | oops |
| 23:56 | tekk | ah |
| 23:57 | tekk | thing is... its hanging on boot |
| 23:57 | tekk | is there a way to boot into single user mode or equivelant |
| 23:57 | cbxbiker61 | systemd? |
