| 17:23.18 | sxpert | good evening |
| 17:23.30 | Bor_Ed | that |
| 17:24.12 | sxpert | I just found my efika in my pile of stuff, and want to install it. any pointers (I'd like a recent kernel too) |
| 17:26.56 | *** join/#debianppc okok (n=ok@bb-87-82-6-194.ukonline.co.uk) |
| 17:28.15 | Bor_Ed | I'd guess the current ooc , hrm, ppc install cd has the kernel fr t too |
| 17:47.19 | Bor_Ed | back on linux... where terminal works too :o |
| 17:50.39 | Bor_Ed | basically all you need is chrp kernel... and it ships even on 4.0 |
| 18:34.43 | *** join/#debianppc trublion (n=trublion@lns-bzn-49f-62-147-169-81.adsl.proxad.net) |
| 18:43.19 | sxpert | Bor_Ed, I have the thing netbooted. currently setting up the disk |
| 18:43.50 | Bor_Ed | nice |
| 18:44.12 | sxpert | is there a way to run the installer from there ? |
| 18:44.50 | Bor_Ed | hmm, iirc, the debootstrap can be called from shell too... can't say 100% sure though |
| 18:58.31 | sxpert | it appears to work :-) |
| 18:59.31 | Bor_Ed | :) |
| 19:00.30 | sxpert | 'validating packages' takes forever :-( |
| 19:05.25 | Bor_Ed | how much ram you have on the thingy? |
| 19:05.32 | Bor_Ed | nm, 128M |
| 19:08.17 | sxpert | yeah |
| 19:08.23 | Bor_Ed | I used to have such prob on 603e based box... the install kernel was somehow broken... just reported some 10's of bogomips' and was dead slow |
| 19:08.31 | Bor_Ed | after installer finished, the sys was ok though |
| 19:10.22 | sxpert | well, it appears the HDD interface has no DMA... which may not help :-) |
| 19:10.45 | Bor_Ed | hmm, try to enable that if you have hdparm around |
| 19:10.58 | Bor_Ed | though even pio mode manages 16M/s... just slowish |
| 19:12.02 | sxpert | I mean, the hardware doesn't do that |
| 19:12.02 | Bor_Ed | ouch |
| 19:12.04 | Bor_Ed | what all else is missing on that mpc5200 chip? I know it's usb 1.1 but not much more than that |
| 19:12.26 | sxpert | well, it's "good enough" for what I intend to do with it... :-) |
| 19:13.03 | sxpert | too bad the "verbose" setting doesn't get the "validating packages" to spew the package names one by one :-( |
| 19:13.32 | sxpert | ah. it's checking component main now :-) |
| 19:13.34 | Bor_Ed | you can see that from another virtual console... 4 or 5 iirc |
| 19:13.46 | sxpert | I'm on the serial console |
| 19:14.02 | Bor_Ed | that limits a bit then :) |
| 19:14.12 | sxpert | yeah, no shit :-) |
| 19:15.03 | sxpert | picking up pace now :-) |
| 19:21.24 | *** join/#debianppc ravenbird (i=ravenbir@unaffiliated/simonrvn/bot/ravenbird) |
| 19:24.26 | sxpert | Bor_Ed, ok. it says "base system installed successfully... |
| 19:24.51 | Bor_Ed | you made boot partition to the disk or will be using netboot in the future too? |
| 19:25.09 | sxpert | I have a boot partition, which appears to be currently empty |
| 19:25.47 | Bor_Ed | dd the installed vmlinux to there... don't come after me if it won't work :D I haven't had change to toy with chrp machines too much |
| 19:26.02 | Bor_Ed | it might have that already though |
| 19:26.18 | sxpert | where would that be ? |
| 19:26.37 | Bor_Ed | <PROTECTED> |
| 19:26.55 | sxpert | don't have that ... |
| 19:27.02 | Bor_Ed | you made /boot partition or partition with type chrp boot? |
| 19:27.17 | sxpert | hmm. |
| 19:27.26 | sxpert | I made an ext2 partition |
| 19:28.22 | Bor_Ed | hey, quik should work on chrp too... did the installer install that? |
| 19:28.45 | sxpert | but I wasn't left with a kernel in there |
| 19:29.11 | Bor_Ed | was the partition mounted on install? |
| 19:29.16 | sxpert | yes |
| 19:29.57 | sxpert | hmm. I think I forgot some things :-( |
| 19:30.04 | Bor_Ed | checked the log yet in /root/ to see if the kernel install was successfull? |
| 19:33.22 | sxpert | ah, I knew I had forgotten something |
| 19:33.25 | sxpert | crap ;-( |
| 19:33.34 | Bor_Ed | what was that? |
| 19:34.05 | sxpert | setting up the console |
| 19:34.37 | Bor_Ed | hmm? |
| 19:37.18 | sxpert | setting up ttyPSC0 as the serial console |
| 19:37.25 | sxpert | in the debian setup |
| 19:37.53 | Bor_Ed | it was ttyS0? |
| 19:40.37 | sxpert | there was none set :-) |
| 19:41.16 | Bor_Ed | kernel has something as default parameter... can be checked from /proc land or from /boot/config-yadayada |
| 19:42.43 | sxpert | ah, of course, it's not using agetty |
| 19:42.49 | sxpert | crap |
| 19:44.22 | Bor_Ed | if you want the netboot kernel to have all the goodies in on the first try, you pretty much need to make own for the efika... dunno that many ppl from this chan that have it |
| 19:45.54 | sxpert | hmm. I need agetty |
| 19:48.16 | sxpert | getty should do too |
| 19:48.19 | sxpert | :-) |
| 19:48.58 | Bor_Ed | sure thing |
| 19:49.07 | Bor_Ed | mgetty or getty ships with deb too |
| 19:51.43 | sxpert | crap, still doesn't work -( |
| 19:53.33 | Bor_Ed | hmm, you had the installer working already? check what it uses |
| 19:53.35 | sxpert | and the power supply just died ... |
| 19:53.40 | Bor_Ed | aww |
| 19:54.01 | sxpert | and it's like 9pm... so it will have to wait :-) |
| 19:54.12 | Bor_Ed | yer an hour behind then... |
| 19:54.50 | sxpert | gah, stupid me could have copied the agetty from gentoo or something |
| 19:54.57 | sxpert | nm :-) |
| 19:55.18 | Bor_Ed | did rm -rf / already? :D |
| 19:55.19 | sxpert | hmm. probably different libc would have led to havok |
| 19:56.00 | Bor_Ed | I've copied some binaries over the distros... ldd on the donating distro is good to check though |
| 19:58.32 | Bor_Ed | just get big enough wall brick to power the pico... |
| 19:59.52 | Bor_Ed | works... I only have 1250V and 1A lab supply :I |
| 20:00.13 | sxpert | 1250V ? now that's a rather uncommon value :-) |
| 20:00.25 | Bor_Ed | low voltage one only gives 6 amps from 0 to 36V |
| 20:00.39 | Bor_Ed | 1250 is pretty standard on mid voltage dc supplies |
| 20:01.00 | sxpert | ah, I see |
| 20:01.29 | sxpert | then you have the 100kV 0.0001A supply for the telsa coil ;-) |
| 20:01.33 | Bor_Ed | higher voltage requires some work on insulation etc... that limit is still doable with commonly available gear |
| 20:02.17 | Bor_Ed | I have access to 5kV dc supply too, an amp from there too... though not my favourite really |
| 20:02.35 | sxpert | beware were you put your fingers :-) |
| 20:03.04 | Bor_Ed | no need... I tend to keep the current limiter low enough just to give nice shock :D |
| 20:03.20 | sxpert | hmmm... CIA style :-) |
| 20:05.19 | Bor_Ed | CIA does those on purpose... |
| 20:05.40 | Bor_Ed | I try to keep the pain away :) |
| 20:05.55 | Bor_Ed | though can't avoid such always |
| 20:06.16 | sxpert | what do you do with those things ? |
| 20:06.40 | sxpert | (well, *we* get to play with dynamite @ work) |
| 20:07.14 | Bor_Ed | work and nowadays hobby stuff somewhat too... power electronics on < 690VAC range mostly |
| 20:08.46 | sxpert | hah |
| 20:09.24 | Bor_Ed | fyi, dynamite ain't nothing compared to 950VAC 3 phase arc on 350A+ current :D |
| 20:09.25 | sxpert | we play with things like sismographs and geophones and stuff |
| 20:09.42 | Bor_Ed | ahh, monitoring stuff... |
| 20:09.46 | sxpert | hmm. we just did a 1.5m deep crater |
| 20:09.54 | sxpert | with a few sticks :-) |
| 20:10.17 | Bor_Ed | we've got labs with controlled environment and 1.5m deep crater wouldn't look nice :) |
| 20:10.38 | Bor_Ed | requires some calculation to do that deep hole with just few sticks? |
| 20:10.59 | sxpert | no... requires not doing the 2m deep holes straight enough... |
| 20:11.12 | sxpert | and sticks were suddently too close from one another :-) |
| 20:11.16 | sxpert | boom |
| 20:11.25 | sxpert | "fire in the hole" |
| 20:11.32 | Bor_Ed | mmm, always nice to have unexpected *boom* |
| 20:12.11 | sxpert | well, it was expected, but it was just supposed to shock the earth surface to record some waves... |
| 20:12.21 | Bor_Ed | and nada? |
| 20:12.42 | sxpert | well. we got the wave all right. but the crater was unintended :-) |
| 20:13.05 | Bor_Ed | rite :) |
| 20:13.23 | Bor_Ed | always nice to have bonuses coming with the work tasks :P |
| 20:13.45 | sxpert | well. we had to take out the shovels to camouflage the thing... |
| 20:14.19 | Bor_Ed | no one noticed after that? |
| 20:14.26 | sxpert | erh... |
| 20:15.05 | sxpert | we had a good "rock fell from the sky" explanation ready :-)... didn't need it though |
| 20:15.14 | Bor_Ed | ahh :) |
| 20:18.31 | Bor_Ed | maybe it's time to concentrate here to the vodka and some clips |
| 20:18.37 | Bor_Ed | have fun hacking the thingy |
| 20:18.58 | sxpert | ha |
| 20:20.10 | Bor_Ed | well... got to spend x-mas with mother and father in law... time to get to the shape before that :P |
| 20:20.21 | sxpert | condolences :-) |
| 20:20.26 | Bor_Ed | danke |
| 20:26.31 | simonrvn | have fun Bor_Ed |
| 20:27.36 | Bor_Ed | ya too, catch tomorrow for a while before we have to move on... |
