22:28.00infernal_jesusMy kernel is panicking.
22:28.08infernal_jesusThe problem is that the root= option is incorrect.
22:28.22infernal_jesusYes, yes, I know, write the correct root= option, but I do not know what it should be. :
22:28.25infernal_jesus:P

22:39.29infernal_jesusAnyone?
22:40.16infernal_jesusActually, all I need to know is the /dev/ of my SD card.
22:45.25mzb_d800infernal_jesus: it's probably something like /dev/mmc1p2
22:45.51mzb_d800I think the Ramdisk Rescue (or Card Booting) wiki has an explanation
22:46.11mzb_d800(above is for 2.6 kernels, iirc)
22:47.03infernal_jesusOk.. I've just double checked.
22:47.16infernal_jesusMy ext2 partition _is_ on /dev/mmclk0p2
22:47.30infernal_jesusthe startup.txt _does_ point to /dev/mmcblk0p2
22:47.38infernal_jesusYet, I'm still getting kernel panic.
22:52.27infernal_jesusAlso, I'd like some clarification on something.
22:52.42infernal_jesusIn the same dir with my startup.txt there is a zImage
22:53.04infernal_jesusbut on the ext2 partition, where the linux is installed, there's a zImage in the /boot dir.
22:53.11infernal_jesusWhat are the two zImages?
22:59.00infernal_jesusThis is t3h sucks. :P
23:06.57*** join/#handhelds mistergibson (n=mistergi@75-175-37-172.ptld.qwest.net)
23:07.44infernal_jesusSo, is there anyone here now? :P
23:24.04infernal_jesusHello?
23:26.44mzb_d800infernal_jesus: I'm afk most of the day (http://www.v8supercars.com.au/)
23:28.07mzb_d800if you're convinced that you have the setup correct, it's likely that your kernel is not right for the machine and/or it doesn't have everything required for mmc support
23:28.22mzb_d800you've not provided enough detail to tell
23:29.23infernal_jesusI'll give you the exact error. Sec.
23:30.49infernal_jesusKernel panic - not Syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
23:30.52infernal_jesusunknown-block(0,0)
23:31.09infernal_jesusBefore that it tells me make sure the "root=" option is correct.
23:32.07infernal_jesusmzb_d800, it boots Ramdisk Rescue correctly.
23:32.29mzb_d800so that would suggest you've made an error
23:32.46infernal_jesusAlso, RR utilities recognise the FAT32 and the ext2 partitions as /dev/mmcblk0p1 and /dev/mmcblk0p2, respectively.
23:34.14infernal_jesusmzb_d800, http://fpaste.org/paste/7442
23:34.18infernal_jesusThat's my startup.exe
23:34.46mzb_d800use RR to setup your partition
23:34.51infernal_jesusI did.
23:35.07mzb_d800which machine are you using?
23:35.18infernal_jesush4150
23:35.25mzb_d800*sigh*
23:35.30mzb_d800not supported
23:35.45infernal_jesusWhat do you mean? :P
23:35.59mzb_d800the guy who built that image has changed *everything*
23:36.29infernal_jesusBuilt the zImage? :P
23:36.44mzb_d800So: 1) RR doesn't support the h4150 (as such), and 2) Familiar doesn't support the h4000
23:36.58infernal_jesusI'm not using familiar.
23:37.03mzb_d800yes, Paul Sokolovsky built the image+kernel for the h4000
23:37.06infernal_jesusBut, the RR recognised the h4150 correctly. :P
23:37.11mzb_d800yep
23:37.16mzb_d800I wrote RR
23:37.51infernal_jesusRR resized, partitioned and installed the linux on mmcblk0p2. :P
23:37.52mzb_d800that doesn't mean that the image+kernel work correctly ... Paul hasn't been kind enough to leave a link to a working image (afaik)
23:38.18mzb_d800as I don't have h4000 for testing, I can't tell you what that problem is
23:38.18infernal_jesusHm..
23:38.43infernal_jesusOh, I got my image from the Angstrom files.
23:38.59mzb_d800:) go to #oe then
23:39.15infernal_jesusThanks for your help. :)
23:39.33mzb_d800np
23:42.58infernal_jesusWait, just a sec..
23:43.02infernal_jesusmzb_d800, one final question.
23:43.22infernal_jesusDid you leave, or are you still there? (that's not the question :D)
23:47.04mzb_d800:)
23:47.44infernal_jesusOk..
23:48.03infernal_jesusOn the FAT32 partition, in the same dir as the haret bootloader, why is there a zImage?
23:48.12infernal_jesusAnd there's a different zImage in by /boot
23:50.08mzb_d800the one on the fat partition is used by haret (wince can't read ext2)
23:50.35infernal_jesusAh, ok. :)
23:50.37mzb_d800the one in /boot (on ext2) is the "normal" place for the kernel to be placed
23:50.59infernal_jesusI think I'll have another go, if it doesn't work, where can I get the specs for the h4150 to build my own kernel?
23:51.24mzb_d800compare it to the kernel configs for other machines
23:52.03mzb_d800keep in mind that an RR kernel is totally different to one that you would normally use
23:52.41mzb_d800also note that you'll probably want to use bitbake ... be prepared for a learning curve
23:53.21infernal_jesusYay.. :D
23:53.29infernal_jesusOk, well, thanks for your help. :)
23:54.41infernal_jesusmzb_d800, last thing, lol. zImage-2.6.16-hh7-h4000 is the last RR kernel? :P
23:55.00mzb_d800no idea ... don't have h4000
23:55.17mzb_d800I didn't build it, publish it, test it, or maintain it
23:55.24infernal_jesusOh ok.
23:55.46mzb_d800send me an h4350 and I'll support it ;)
23:56.11infernal_jesusHaha. :P
23:56.29infernal_jesusI just want this thing to work. :P
23:58.06mzb_d800look for pfalcon (Paul Sokolovsky)
23:58.19infernal_jesusHere? :P
23:58.29mzb_d800#oe probably
23:58.44infernal_jesusOk, thanks. :)
23:58.54mzb_d800he's not online atm, by the looks of it
23:59.08mzb_d800but then not sure if he's using the same nick these days
23:59.58infernal_jesusWell, I'll have another try, and then I'll see if there's anyone in #oe.
