| 00:01 | Exaga | Artox: where do you point your /root when booting with a ramdisk? |
| 00:01 | Exaga | /dev/ram ? |
| 00:02 | Humpelstilzchen | CovertOps: it where does it hang on reboot? |
| 00:03 | CovertOps | i'm not sure, pretty much just a blank screen |
| 00:03 | CovertOps | right now i'm reconfiguring a fresh install |
| 00:03 | CovertOps | i'm going to make a backup of my sd card to an image and then try again |
| 00:07 | CovertOps | just need to finish setting up my dlna server |
| 00:12 | Artox | [00:01] Artox: where do you point your /root when booting with a ramdisk? |
| 00:12 | Artox | I don't |
| 00:12 | Exaga | ok thanks |
| 00:12 | Artox | and I have no idea why |
| 00:12 | Artox | I think it happens automatically |
| 00:12 | Artox | as soon as kernel supports it |
| 00:12 | Exaga | gotcha |
| 00:12 | Artox | what migh tbe woirth checking is: |
| 00:12 | Artox | how is the RD compressed |
| 00:12 | Artox | xzvsgzvsbz |
| 00:12 | Exaga | it's gzipped |
| 00:12 | Artox | and check if kernel ahs the relevant support |
| 00:12 | Exaga | and then mkimage with u-boot-tools |
| 00:13 | Exaga | i'm using zImage too |
| 00:13 | Artox | oh |
| 00:13 | Artox | well |
| 00:13 | Artox | if oyu use zImage |
| 00:13 | Artox | then what are you mkimage'ing |
| 00:13 | Exaga | ja? |
| 00:14 | Exaga | oh... so i do not need to add the u-boot header to the initrd? |
| 00:14 | Artox | that I do not know |
| 00:14 | Artox | you dont on my images and uboot builds .......... |
| 00:14 | Artox | but, for initrd, keep doing it to be safe |
| 00:14 | Artox | what kernel are you trying to use? |
| 00:14 | Artox | and where did you get it? |
| 00:15 | Exaga | i grabbed it from the latest jessie |
| 00:15 | Exaga | from igor |
| 00:18 | CovertOps | gr wtf the arduino ide just worked |
| 00:18 | CovertOps | i didn't change anything, just rebooted and now it crashes |
| 00:18 | Exaga | root@debian-imx6:/home/humbo/humbo.SlackBuild/boot# file zImage |
| 00:18 | Exaga | zImage: Linux kernel ARM boot executable zImage (little-endian) |
| 00:18 | Exaga | and then... |
| 00:18 | Exaga | root@debian-imx6:/home/humbo/humbo.SlackBuild/boot# file uInitrd |
| 00:18 | Artox | if you dont mind |
| 00:18 | Exaga | uInitrd: u-boot legacy uImage, Slackware ARMv7 initrd, Linux/ARM, RAMDisk Image (gzip), 17764597 bytes, Mon Sep 22 23:09:46 2014, Load Address: 0x00000000, Entry Point: 0x00000000, Header CRC: 0x5EF4A972, Data CRC: 0xCF0EB0D7 |
| 00:18 | Artox | you can try mine |
| 00:18 | Exaga | sure thing |
| 00:19 | Exaga | i'll try anything :> |
| 00:19 | Exaga | once i understand how it works it will seem easy |
| 00:19 | Artox | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mayerjosua:/cubox-i:/13.1/openSUSE_13.1_ARM/armv7hl/kernel-cubox-i-3.14.14.1410876985-2.1.armv7hl.rpm |
| 00:19 | Exaga | as with all things |
| 00:19 | Exaga | thanks Artox |
| 00:19 | Artox | do this: rpm2cpio kernel.rpm | cpio -idmv |
| 00:19 | Artox | on your sdcard |
| 00:20 | Exaga | ok |
| 00:20 | Exaga | root@debian-imx6:/tmp# rpm2cpio kernel.rpm | cpio -idmv |
| 00:20 | Exaga | bash: rpm2cpio: command not found |
| 00:20 | Exaga | cpio: premature end of archive |
| 00:20 | Exaga | HAHAHA! |
| 00:21 | Artox | well you are missing rpm2cpio |
| 00:21 | Exaga | yep |
| 00:30 | Exaga | boots to a black screen for me Artox |
| 00:30 | Exaga | but then i am using a hummingboard i2ex |
| 00:30 | Exaga | not a cubox-i |
| 00:30 | Exaga | is there a difference? |
| 00:30 | Artox | no |
| 00:30 | Exaga | ok |
| 00:30 | Exaga | i shall do some more testing |
| 00:31 | Artox | you did link zImage->zImage-3.14.14 right? |
| 00:31 | Exaga | thank you again for your help |
| 00:31 | Exaga | yes i did all that |
| 00:31 | Artox | I know the pkg works on my hb-i2ex |
| 00:31 | Exaga | i'll get back to you. it's probably me that's being a noob :> |
| 00:31 | Artox | you should probably be gettign a serial console |
| 00:32 | Artox | those thingies are exceptionally useful |
| 22:56 | earthy | wow. the default module config for the 3.14.14 kernel on the solid-run github compiles infiniband drivers... |
| 23:05 | dv_ | earthy: oh so you *dont* use your cbi with infiniband? |
| 23:05 | dv_ | :P |
| 23:10 | earthy | :) |
