00:21 heap_ http://paste.debian.net/366543/ any idea?
00:21 heap_ i cant compile kernel but it worked before
00:26 heap_ anyone!??
00:55 heap_ what the hell could happened.... that stupid uboot boots all the time 3.14 kernel even i copied zImage from 4.x into /boot and accordingly all dbt files there
00:55 heap_ junk
01:03 heap_ even that solidrun uboot is booting image from the /sdcard /boot
09:58 heap_ hi, when i want to boot from external drive
09:58 heap_ where sould sit /boot dir? on sd card or external drive?
09:59 heap_ because at the moment i have root=/external drive in uenv.txt of sdcard... but it loads kernel from /boot on sd card not from external drive
10:20 vpeter heap_: root= parameter is used when kernel is already running. You need to load kernel in u-boot from external drive.
10:23 jnettlet heap_, in general I always recommend putting /boot onto an sdhc card. This allows much easier recovery if necessary.
10:32 heap_ vpeter: You need to load kernel in u-boot from external drive. but how you want to do this...
10:32 vpeter jnettlet: The second sentence is very true (confirmed by my friend who just started working with HummingBoard.
10:32 heap_ as jnettlet said... /boot should be on sdcard
10:33 jnettlet it really gives you a bullet proof installation.
10:34 vpeter heap_: I boot on one other system from USB (bootloader on sd). Just need to start usb stack first, load kernel from usb stick and boot :)
10:34 vpeter Commands in uEnv.txt or boot.scr.
10:38 heap_ vpeter: which means you have to store /boot on your stick
10:38 vpeter Only bootloader + boot script.
10:42 heap_ hm
10:42 heap_ by boot script you mean?
10:47 vpeter boot script: uEnv.txt or boot.scr
10:48 vpeter It tells u-boot what to do.
10:48 heap_ hm
10:48 heap_ strange
10:48 heap_ so what exactly it contains that you dont have to store /boot/zimage on your stick
10:56 vpeter From my head: usb start ; load usb 0 ${loadaddr} /boot/zImage
10:56 vpeter similar for sata I would assume.
10:59 vpeter But as jnettlet wrote it is much easier to just boot from sd card.
19:56 gwelter Hi, is it possible to use usb tethering in Android on the i4pro?
