19:26.04joshua_it's a skiff
19:26.28joshua_I think I got it from George France

19:28.20erekheh
19:28.43joshua_and the stupid piezo is on full tilt
19:28.59erekjoshua_, you're experimenting with linux on devices?
19:29.09joshua_I've had this thing practically forever
19:29.11ereki have this Samsung SCH-i730 phone
19:29.29joshua_I just dug it out of a drawer and am trying to get a modern kernel running on it
19:29.50erekjoshua_, what's the brand/model #?
19:30.05joshua_it was a research device
19:30.12erekoh
19:30.16joshua_http://www.handhelds.org/platforms.html#skiff
19:31.03ereknice
19:31.38joshua_bah, it let me log in running 2.4, why not 2.6?
19:33.00*** join/#handhelds bluelightning (n=blueligh@pdpc/supporter/active/bluelightning)

19:34.28erekjoshua_, http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=285&id2=1240
19:34.39erekdo you think linux will run on the samsung?
19:34.43joshua_hmm, that's gone poorly
19:34.47joshua_the partition map... not so good
19:34.53joshua_the bootloader... a little bit missing
19:35.24joshua_erek, they're both capable of running linux; whether there's support, I don't know
19:35.40erekjoshua_, heh, i know the treo does
19:35.53joshua_slap forehead
19:36.04joshua_this device is... toast
19:36.08erektoast?
19:36.11joshua_yeah
19:36.12erekyou broke it?
19:36.20joshua_the new kernel didn't have the right partition map
19:36.21erek:(
19:36.24joshua_so jffs2 overwrote the bootloader
19:36.24erekoh
19:36.30joshua_and that is the end of that
19:36.31ereki thought the hardware was broken
19:36.38joshua_well, it will not boot
19:36.44joshua_until I grab my JTAG kit
19:40.58erekdamn
19:41.04erekyou got development tools
19:41.09erekseems cool
19:41.28ereksee, i am wondering if by installing if i could explore the potentials of my devices
19:41.43joshua_pulls the skiff's brains out of the case
19:42.26erekjoshua_, ever posted a dmesg from one of your devices?
19:42.32bluelightningjoshua_: hey, great to see you are still around :)

19:44.37erekjoshua_, hmm, so it looks like you're using a pxa kernel
19:44.41joshua_nope
19:44.44erekoh
19:44.47joshua_well, it has pxa patches
19:44.50erekoh

19:44.59erekoh
19:45.20joshua_I got this board from hp labs when they were closing down
19:45.21ereksee i am wondering if i could use a generic kernel such as one for the intel pxa
19:45.50joshua_2.6.xx has all patches merged in
19:45.53erekah
19:46.20erekis there a howto or tutorial in-general for attempting this?
