01:51.28ryan_has anyone else noticed different battery life after switching to OZ?  It seems like I am getting much better life on mine but not going to flash the shape file to find out.
01:51.42ryan_shape=sharp
02:23.12TheMasterMind1ryan_: i've heard that the sharp rom refreshes the screen a lot more because of the older qte or something and thus uses more battery

21:29.18james__mdz: Hello there.  I just put your Debian initrd on my ZAurus yesterday evening and I have a couple of questions that are probably quite simple.
21:38.54james__mdz: My main problem is mounting /usr at boot time.  I am using a CF card for this and so I modified your /dev/mmcda1 entry to /dev/hda1 and set the auto flag but the mount fails.
21:41.45kergoth'the mount fails'? how so
21:41.48*** join/#openzaurus sambatron (~sambatron@63-MAD2-X52.libre.retevision.es)
21:42.16sambatronhello... I'm having some troubles with a package called libopie11
21:42.19kergothjames__: thing is, the card wont be able to be mounted until pcmcia-cs has been started.
21:42.22kergothsambatron: -force-depends
21:42.29kergothsambatron: it was a typo
21:42.48james__mdz: The other thing is apt-get faile when trying to mmap 6291457 bytes when I have 18788K available
21:43.01sambatronbut opie doesn't start after the upgrade :/
21:43.09sambatronkergoth : no error message on console
21:43.28kergothsambatron: you need to upgrade _everything_
21:43.32kergothsambatron: if you upgrade anything
21:43.43sambatronkergoth : anyway I'll try reinstalling everything... yes
21:43.48kergothsambatron: ipkg upgrade
21:43.58kergothsambatron: ipkg install opie-taskbar opie-common libqpe1 libopie1
21:44.35sambatronkergoth : I'll try that out
21:45.12james__kergoth : After I log in I can mount it fine so pcmcia_cs must start.  How do I start it early enough?
21:46.01kergothjames__: find /etc -name S\*pcmcia
21:46.03kergothjames__: heh
21:49.32sambatronkergoth : I did it... but now opie does not start
21:49.42kergoth?

21:50.09james__kergoth : In all of the relevant runlevels pcmcia starts after hotplug and ppp, at the same time as apmd, inetd, makedev, ssh, xtsd and before rmnlogin
21:50.20*** join/#openzaurus Infamous2 (~qwerty@155.33.158.167)
21:50.26kergothjames__: right, and mountall runs in rcS, prior to any runlevel
21:50.30kergothjames__: hence your problem
21:50.41kergothheh
21:50.57james__kergoth : is that what rcS is.  I see.

21:51.33james__kergoth : Would I have the same probelm with an MMC card?
21:51.53sambatronkergoth : is that filed ?
21:52.04kergothjames__: not if you load the sd module in the modules script
21:52.08kergothsambatron: is what filed?
21:52.16kergothsambatron: this shit has been fixed for ages, just unstable hasnt been updated in months
21:52.33sambatronkergoth : I'm using testing
21:52.48kergothsambatron: nothing is fixed in testing until the next rc release.
21:52.50sambatronkergoth : I mean the dependency problem
21:52.53kergothsambatron: unstable is where development happens
21:52.56kergothsambatron: i know. and its fixed.
21:52.58kergothsambatron: like i said
21:53.05kergothsambatron: bug reports against old opie versions dont help
21:53.12sambatronkergoth : oh thanks
21:53.50james__kergoth : but the CF is some sort of pcmcia device so it needs more work.  I knew I should have bought that slichtly more expensive mmc instead :)
21:54.35kergothjames__: heh. pcmcia is a mess
21:54.56kergothjames__: problem with firing up pcmcia in rcS.. you may have pcmcia-cs files _in_ /usr
21:55.11kergothjames__: you need cardmgr daemon and stuff.. if thats in /usr, but you try to put /usr on your card, catch 22
21:55.14kergothjames__: :)
21:57.12james__kergoth : Well when the boot has finished I log in and mount it then start the services in rc5 manually and everything seems fine and so that stuff is possibly elsewhere.
21:57.29kergothk, if thats fine, try spawning off pcmcia-cs earlier
21:57.46james__kergoth : I just checked, those things are in /sbin/
21:59.27sambatronkergoth : can I change the kernel without changing the rest ?
22:00.25kergothsambatron: yes, you can flash zImage and initrd.bin seperately
22:01.32sambatronBut if I flash... I push reset... the I'll lose memory contents, right ?
22:01.40kergothright, /mnt/ram will get wiped
22:01.44kergothflash will be fine
22:02.02sambatronI don't want to lose my ram... :/ is there any way ?
22:02.14kergothback it up
22:02.15kergoth:)
22:02.22kergothtar -czvf /mnt/card/myram.tar.gz /mnt/ram

22:14.15mdzjames__: pcmcia services must be running in order for CF stuff to work
22:14.33kergoth:)
22:14.36mdzjames__: as for apt, it sounds like it's simply running out of memory
22:17.01james__mdz: Hi.  kergoth is helping me with my pcmcia problem but it would be nice to get apt to work.  What would be the chances of using all or most of the 64MB for memory and having the file systems on removable media.
22:18.52mdzjames__: that image imposes no restrictions, you can use whatever arrangement you like for memory, up to and including using all 64 as RAM
22:19.00mdzjames__: it all fits in flash
22:19.13kergothmdz: how are you handling mtdram in your debian image?
22:19.55mdzkergoth: it doesn't touch it
22:20.27kergothgotcha. so the user wipes it and adds to fstab if thats what they want. coo
22:20.39mdzbbl
22:21.29james__mdz: cool and so it has 40MB at the moment?
22:28.22james__kergoth : pcmcia is now S34 in rcS.d and mountall.sh is S35 but I get 'no such device' for /dev/hda1
22:28.39kergothjames__: timing
22:28.53kergothjames__: it takes a bit for cardmgr to be fired and to pick up an insert event and mount the card
22:29.01kergothso it could be related to timing.. not ready at the time mountall is run
22:30.01james__kergoth : would you also care to speculate how long I need to wait and whether it is really stupid to put a sleep in the script there?
22:41.08james__kergoth : Well a to second sleep seemed to do the trick :)
22:55.12kergothhehe, cool
22:55.19kergothyeah, with timing issues like that its hard to say

23:06.31james__where does 'Kernel command line: root=/dev/mtdblock4 mem=40M console=null' come from, then?
23:06.55kergothjames__: compiled in.

23:08.56kergothhey ccamp
23:11.20james__On the OZ website you say you are using the Sharp kernel, how do you change the memory/storage combinations in these circumstances?

23:11.38james__If the amount of memory is compiled in
23:11.43kergothjames__: ? we're using hte sharp kernel _sources_ as a base
23:11.49kergothjames__: we build everything from source.
23:12.06kergothjames__: with the exception of the sd module and daemon which are binary only
23:12.50ccampkergoth are you an admin in real life?
23:13.09kergothccamp: I do some administration consulting, but I'm stuck in a tech support position atm.
23:13.30ccampyou talk like an admin is all :P
23:13.33kergothyou'd think someone who maintains a distro could get a job in linux admin.. but the job market sucks
23:13.37kergothhehe
23:13.38ccampwe can smell our own
23:13.46ccamphell yea it does
23:13.48kergothyeah, i'm the resident BoFH according to chouimat
