| 00:16.44 | karim | hi |
| 00:17.08 | karim | I got problems using a 2.6.9 with a b&w G3 |
| 00:17.35 | karim | the image doesn't work for me |
| 00:19.31 | simonrvn | so use another one |
| 00:20.11 | karim | wich one ? |
| 00:20.52 | karim | the precompiled ones doesn't work |
| 00:20.57 | simonrvn | whichever one you want |
| 00:20.57 | karim | :-( |
| 00:21.08 | simonrvn | or build one |
| 00:21.24 | karim | yes that's what I have done with 2.6.7 |
| 00:21.39 | karim | I was hoping it would be ok for the next. |
| 00:21.45 | simonrvn | use 2.6.7-rc3 or higher. 2.6.7 has a security issue |
| 00:22.01 | karim | ok |
| 00:22.23 | karim | in fact I had the same problem with 2.6.7. The binary was working |
| 00:22.37 | karim | so I builded some modules inside the kernel |
| 00:22.53 | karim | It seems the problems come from the order detection of the devices |
| 00:23.12 | karim | this lead to a hard drive name swap |
| 00:23.41 | karim | I tried with only one driver, and I got a crash when loading cmd64 or something like that |
| 00:24.38 | karim | I use xfs for the / , could this lead to some problems when loading the initrd ? |
| 00:25.55 | simonrvn | don't use an initrd if at all possible. xfs has issues with kernels with holes in them. or yaboot does, on xfs. something like that |
| 00:27.01 | karim | ok |
| 00:27.32 | karim | so globally if I build a kernel without initrd what must be builded is all what is needed to acces the drive ? |
| 00:28.00 | karim | I mean I guess it's not really usedull to build the sound modules and such |
| 00:28.06 | karim | usefull |
| 00:29.52 | simonrvn | well, what i and many others do is build the essential components into the kernel, and build the stuff not essential to proper booting and such as modules. so i have my boot FSes builtin, and support for SCSI builtin, etc. |
| 00:30.58 | karim | ok |
| 00:31.30 | karim | is there some command that lists the hardware and the according modules ? |
| 00:33.19 | simonrvn | lspci lists the pci devices. lsusb lists currently attached usb, lsadb for adb devices, the rest is just a bit of web searching on - i assume this is a mac box - apple-related hardware sites, like apple-history.com, and lowendmac.com, and such |

| 02:34.54 | randyg | tvtorrents is gone too |
| 02:35.08 | randyg | btefnet is the only torrent site on my list that still works |
| 02:37.23 | randyg | torrentreactor not responding... torrentbits simply says "Goodbye"... youceff raided... |
| 02:50.23 | simonrvn | sounds like the mpaa got their grubby little hands on things |
| 02:53.46 | randyg | mpaa... "we put the ass in association". |
