| 17:34.34 | Bor_Ed | hmm, w-cdma stick init works 3 times out of 5... still some work to do with the setup |
| 17:56.18 | _Trinity_ | hey guys |
| 18:01.27 | _Trinity_ | I finally ended trashing my iMac DV usb keyboard. I never figured out a workaround for the cronic reboot when halting. |
| 18:02.04 | _Trinity_ | Iḿ using an ancient ps/2 keyboard wit a usb converter! |
| 18:03.10 | _Trinity_ | Iḿ just wondering if the PPC port with this keyboard gives me access to the last resort SysRq key combinations. |
| 18:03.32 | Bor_Ed | uses imac keyboard on this mips laptop, gives all the combos at least this way |
| 18:05.00 | _Trinity_ | IÇe got my keyboard listed in xorg.conf asppc104 and i''s working but how do I tell if it's a pc105? |
| 18:06.19 | _Trinity_ | Bor_Ed: that old usb iMac DV keyboard gave you SysRq? |
| 18:06.22 | Bor_Ed | I use pc105 in this setup and used on imac too as it was only way to get all the combos to work... apple keyboard setting didn't have altgr and such keys at all |
| 18:06.55 | Bor_Ed | this imac kb gives sysrq, I'd just need to figure out again how... |
| 18:07.07 | _Trinity_ | so Debian PPC definately supports SysRq. OK. Right on |
| 18:07.11 | Bor_Ed | M2452 type |
| 18:07.17 | _Trinity_ | remap it? |
| 18:07.26 | _Trinity_ | or assign it at least |
| 18:07.39 | Bor_Ed | iirc it just was under some 12 finger combo |
| 18:07.58 | _Trinity_ | 12 finger combo? lol |
| 18:08.25 | Bor_Ed | something like that... haven't needed such yet on this 'box' |
| 18:09.08 | _Trinity_ | I've got about 5 or 6 of these old keyboards and I think I'm going to pop the key out on one and try dvorak |
| 18:09.39 | _Trinity_ | but the probelm is half of them are the big circle connect, I can't even recall what that was called |
| 18:09.42 | Bor_Ed | bbiaw... |
| 18:09.58 | _Trinity_ | and I don't think there are adaptors, that I've seen at least |
| 18:10.00 | Bor_Ed | adb... |
| 18:10.24 | _Trinity_ | let's see if I can find another ps/2 keyboard and use my new adaptor |
| 18:11.16 | simonrvn | alt-prtsrcn-X |
| 18:11.29 | simonrvn | magic sysreq |
| 18:12.59 | _Trinity_ | are you referring to the old usb iMac keyboard? |
| 18:14.05 | _Trinity_ | it doesn't have a printscreen button but this keyboad does |
| 18:14.38 | _Trinity_ | I'll look into finding out if this is really a pc104 or a pc105 |
| 18:19.53 | *** join/#debianppc tilmann_ (n=tilmann@p5B2F6DF7.dip.t-dialin.net) |
| 18:54.44 | simonrvn | no, just telling you what the key combo is for it =) |
| 19:07.53 | *** join/#debianppc lumis (n=jon@cpc1-leic7-0-0-cust236.lei3.cable.ntl.com) |
| 19:16.02 | _Trinity_ | with this keyboard, I have the prntscrn key to take a screenshot so I assume that would interfere |
| 19:30.13 | *** join/#debianppc Bor_Ed (n=ari@adsl-065-013-147-133.sip.msy.bellsouth.net) |
| 19:31.47 | simonrvn | nah, only works in console afaict |
| 20:00.40 | _Trinity_ | ah, good to know. I know no more rehacking hacks. |
| 20:01.21 | _Trinity_ | sorry about the broken English. |
| 20:01.54 | Bor_Ed | finally got scandinavian characters to show up on this yankee server... still need to hack the chars up from kb in this chinese linux :o |
| 20:02.24 | Bor_Ed | most of the channel actives speak other than english as native language, no prob there |
| 20:09.55 | _Trinity_ | I speak English as a first language, I just can't type it. Lol |
| 20:10.25 | Bor_Ed | can't speak nor write... yet still doing both daily |
| 20:11.20 | _Trinity_ | ha |
| 20:11.50 | Bor_Ed | .... and getting paid of that... |
| 20:18.04 | _Trinity_ | good one. I hope to be able to match that and pull it off |
| 20:18.29 | Bor_Ed | :D |
| 20:19.09 | Bor_Ed | just requires drinking the reports/calls correct |
| 20:56.26 | _Trinity_ | drinking? |
| 20:56.42 | _Trinity_ | Drinking on the job? |
| 20:57.59 | Bor_Ed | naa, drinking the issues solved in job... pretty much same as catering lunch etc in some parts of the world, here we have sauna and some bewerages :) |
| 21:02.06 | Bor_Ed | time to hit the sack... 11pm and wake up before 7am |
| 21:10.43 | _Trinity_ | g'night |
| 21:49.28 | *** join/#debianppc dclarke (n=dclarke@blastwave/maintainer/dclarke) |
| 21:49.35 | dclarke | question .. what options do I need to pass to "boot cd" in order for the debian business-card CDROM image to boot ? do I need to specify root=/dev/foo or console=ttya ? or ? |
| 21:50.11 | dclarke | I mean .. what is the boot-file option ? |
| 22:16.41 | dclarke | I try boot cd /install/yaboot conf=cd,/install/yaboot.conf |
| 22:16.44 | dclarke | and I see |
| 22:17.37 | dclarke | ISO-9660 filesystem: System-ID: "LINUX" Volume-ID: "Debian 5.0.3 ppc Bin-1" |
| 22:18.05 | dclarke | Root dir: " " flags=0x2 extent=0x17 size=0x1000 |
| 22:18.33 | dclarke | Can't claim malloc buffer (1048576 bytes at 0x00300000) |
| 22:18.42 | dclarke | error: abort |
| 22:18.44 | dclarke | ok |
| 22:50.06 | dclarke | never mind .. I needed to boot /install/powerpc/vmlinuz-chrp.initrd |
| 22:50.10 | dclarke | which works |
| 23:33.50 | pahartik | tries to build custom Linux kernel package with "--initrd" that actually works |
| 23:36.28 | dclarke | good luck with that |
| 23:36.45 | dclarke | mine boots up .. but then gets stuck trying to find the disk drive |
| 23:47.31 | pahartik | dclarke: I have succeeded without "--initrd" for years, kernels with required drivers built-in... But now I have RAID+LVM+encryption setup that needs "--initrd" |
| 23:51.47 | dclarke | yike |
| 23:51.56 | dclarke | that looks like a lot of customization |
| 23:52.13 | dclarke | I just want a basic boot that uses my serial console and can detect a harddisk |
| 23:52.26 | dclarke | that is not working well ... yet |
| 23:53.07 | dclarke | looks like there is no support in the Debian 5.0.3 ppc business card boot image for drivers to detect my ata disk |
| 23:54.24 | pahartik | dclarke: What kind of workstation? |
| 23:54.48 | dclarke | its a wildly weird thing |
| 23:54.54 | dclarke | called an EFIKA |
| 23:55.13 | dclarke | based on the Freescale MPC5200B SoC chip |
| 23:55.22 | dclarke | has openboot firmware from bPlan |
| 23:55.29 | dclarke | works great and has for years |
| 23:55.35 | dclarke | but installation is a bugger |
