| 00:31.06 | RobotGuy | Dang, how SLOW can SourceForge get? |
| 00:34.13 | g1powermac_PB | quite |
| 00:34.46 | RobotGuy | I see that just by trying to use the website. |
| 01:05.06 | RobotGuy | Zippity Doo Dah |
| 01:10.45 | RobotGuy | I have so much on flash now that I can't even edit a text file. |
| 01:11.49 | RobotGuy | prpplague: What would be the estimated cost of doubling and quadrupling the flash on a Hammer type module? |
| 01:13.38 | RobotGuy | To 32 MB or 64 MB |
| 01:13.56 | RobotGuy | I'm just curious. |
| 02:33.44 | prpplague | RobotGuy like i said the flash is there mainly for booting the device and a place to store some small data such as settings |
| 02:34.20 | prpplague | RobotGuy doubling the flash would probably add another $75 to the cost of the Hammer |
| 02:35.05 | RobotGuy | prpplague: OK, so it seems like I could boot initially from flash and then move to other mass storage, right? |

| 02:35.46 | RobotGuy | I am talking about not using an initrd at all. |
| 02:36.10 | prpplague | RobotGuy or boot directly to other mass storage |
| 02:37.00 | RobotGuy | prpplague: Would that be done somewhat like booting using an initrd in ramdisk, except pointing the bootloader at different media? |
| 02:37.09 | RobotGuy | Or is it more complicated? |
| 02:37.36 | prpplague | RobotGuy sorry i did not understand your question |
| 02:38.02 | prpplague | RobotGuy to use the sd/mmc card as a rootfs you simply change the command line arguments for the kernel |
| 02:38.43 | prpplague | RobotGuy for example: "root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootdelay=4 console=ttySAC0" |
| 02:38.49 | RobotGuy | prpplague: I understand about using other media as rootfs, but have not been successful yet. |
| 02:39.07 | RobotGuy | prpplague: OK, but that isn't actually booting from the media. |
| 02:39.11 | prpplague | RobotGuy why not? what failed? |
| 02:39.29 | prpplague | RobotGuy what do you consider "booting" |
| 02:39.38 | RobotGuy | prpplague: I tried using a thumb drive as rootfs, but think my config was wrong. |
| 02:40.03 | RobotGuy | prpplague: By booting, I mean loading *everything* from a single media - kernel, etc. |
| 02:40.34 | prpplague | RobotGuy list what you mean by "Everything" |
| 02:41.18 | RobotGuy | prpplague: Kernel, modules, programs to be run. Everything the system requires. |
| 02:41.50 | prpplague | RobotGuy well the system requires a bootloader |
| 02:42.06 | prpplague | RobotGuy but yes, as you term it "everything" comes from the sd card |
| 02:42.11 | RobotGuy | prpplague: Yes. |
| 02:42.22 | RobotGuy | prpplague: OK, that is good. |
| 02:43.03 | RobotGuy | prpplague: I'd try booting from a thumb drive, but that has more of a chance of coming unplugged accidently. |

| 02:44.57 | prpplague | RobotGuy only if you are using it with the usb sockets |
| 02:46.13 | RobotGuy | prpplague: There is another way? |
| 02:46.22 | prpplague | dijenerate not out at kiddies kadooment? |
| 02:46.38 | prpplague | RobotGuy soldered directly |
| 02:46.48 | RobotGuy | prpplague: Ah, OK. |
| 02:47.05 | prpplague | i remove the usb connector off all my stuff |
| 02:47.13 | prpplague | as well as the ldo |
| 02:47.20 | prpplague | so i can power it with 3.3v instead of 5v |
| 02:47.42 | RobotGuy | prpplague: Hmmmmm, interesting. |
| 02:48.00 | RobotGuy | prpplague: Oh, I have the WiFi working with Gentoo Embedded now. :) |
| 02:48.33 | RobotGuy | prpplague: Still some issues with devices that are already connected not being properly detected though. I'm not sure how to deal with that. |
| 02:49.48 | RobotGuy | prpplague: Don't buy a PNY labeled thumb drive. |
| 02:49.53 | prpplague | RobotGuy as far as i can tell you are probably having something mess with the power control, i've not had anyone else report a problem and i'm not able t replicate it |
| 02:50.22 | prpplague | RobotGuy why? adata and pny are ones i like since they usually use good silk masks |
| 02:50.30 | RobotGuy | prpplague: Ah, well, that's not unusual. If a problem can be found, I generally find it. |
| 02:51.09 | RobotGuy | prpplague: I just had a PNY go bad on me. No reason for it. The other three (one Lexar and two SanDisk) have been handled the same way and no problems at all. |
| 02:51.10 | prpplague | brb, sigwife |
| 02:51.19 | RobotGuy | grins |
| 02:59.08 | prpplague | i've never had a thumb drive go bad |
