02:56.41 | JustinP | AppleBoy: very well |
02:59.05 | JustinP | fuck |
02:59.36 | JustinP | all of a sudden my /var directory disappeared and attempting to reboot gives me "hda: lost interrupt" |
03:06.38 | jnc | eek |
03:06.59 | jnc | kind of makes me wish there were a spitz emulator |

03:41.54 | jnc | ^^ no comment ^^ |
03:42.32 | JustinP | jnc: come from? |
03:42.41 | JustinP | AppleBoy: do you mean BitBake? |
03:42.45 | jnc | silly person asking a question |
03:42.58 | AppleBoy | yeah |
03:43.08 | AppleBoy | that's what it was |
03:43.16 | jnc | JustinP: the kernel 2.6.x status page for cxk0 mentions a serial port |
03:43.36 | JustinP | jnc: behind the gray plug on the back |
03:43.39 | jnc | oh |
03:43.41 | AppleBoy | I need to get used to this |
03:43.46 | jnc | i thought that was a video port only |
03:43.52 | AppleBoy | I keep seeing my cpu spike and think, WTF IS GOING ON!? |
03:44.01 | AppleBoy | and then I check and my muscles relax |
03:44.06 | jnc | AppleBoy: you can throttle users if ya like |
03:44.25 | jnc | and no i don't mean strangle their necks with usb cords |
03:44.25 | JustinP | jnc: *video*?? no, it's the same sharp port as on the other zaurii. Only does serial on the cxks |
03:44.31 | jnc | ohhh |
03:44.32 | AppleBoy | jnc: no need |
03:44.37 | AppleBoy | jnc: I don't use it for anything else |
03:44.46 | jnc | JustinP: i could have sworn there was a presentation port on the cxk0 |
03:44.50 | AppleBoy | and even if I throttled it, I would still see a spike |
03:44.52 | JustinP | AppleBoy: bitbake is the build system that OpenEmbedded uses. |
03:45.15 | JustinP | jnc: I really don't think that woks for that. You can get a card which has XGA out... |
03:45.20 | JustinP | works |
03:47.08 | JustinP | AppleBoy: can you please install the cross-2.95.3 tarball on this page: http://oe.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/ZaurusKernels |
03:47.26 | JustinP | (and follow the instructions for renaming) |
03:47.51 | JustinP | don't alter your path or anything, I'll do that for my build system |
03:48.47 | AppleBoy | nothing in portage? |
03:48.57 | JustinP | not that I know of, no |
03:49.06 | jnc | AppleBoy: do as he says, you can install it to /opt or something |
03:49.09 | JustinP | this is a special cross-compiler for the zaurus kernels |
03:49.14 | JustinP | jnc: no |
03:49.17 | jnc | no? |
03:49.23 | jnc | does it need a 32-bit chroot |
03:49.30 | JustinP | it has to be installed in /usr/local/arm |
03:49.50 | JustinP | due to...something or other... |
03:50.38 | JustinP | I think the builds use explicit full paths |
03:50.47 | AppleBoy | in a few then |
03:50.51 | AppleBoy | a bit busy |
03:51.19 | JustinP | fine |
03:51.23 | AppleBoy | can you compile it then I change permissions and move it? |
03:51.36 | jnc | do a chroot |
03:51.41 | jnc | pfft |
03:51.47 | JustinP | doesn't need to be compiled, just untarred |
03:51.54 | JustinP | and rename a few files |
03:52.22 | JustinP | I can't chroot myself |
03:52.29 | JustinP | and I still need system libraries and such |
03:53.15 | jnc | a user should be able to chroot |
03:53.29 | jnc | non? |
03:54.11 | JustinP | ::shrug:: I'd still need all the normal binaries and such, it just wouldn't work out |

03:57.55 | AppleBoy | ok, done |
03:58.00 | JustinP | thanks |
03:58.53 | AppleBoy | see jnc, I'm a good host :) |
03:59.05 | JustinP | is this your workstation? |
03:59.06 | AppleBoy | (he thinks my server is unworthy) |
03:59.08 | AppleBoy | no |
03:59.11 | AppleBoy | well, kinda |
03:59.17 | JustinP | hehe |
03:59.18 | AppleBoy | it's my server, but I use it as a workstation |
03:59.22 | JustinP | I see |
03:59.31 | AppleBoy | I've got them done finally |
03:59.42 | JustinP | I use my server as a TV media player |
03:59.58 | JustinP | of course it's pretty slow....which is why I like using your :-) |
04:00.07 | AppleBoy | my server is bitchen, but I plan on some upgrades soon |
04:00.15 | JustinP | yeah, it is very nice |
04:00.40 | JustinP | I started some more compiling. :-) I'll be back in a little bit |
04:02.15 | jnc | kyle's server cooks the toast |

04:40.16 | jnc | close my nose |
04:41.04 | benplaut | - clip - |
04:42.27 | JustinP | jnc: I am, in fact, building images right now ;-) |
04:42.38 | JustinP | jnc: that's why I needed the 2.95 cross compiler |
04:42.39 | jnc | schweet |
04:42.51 | jnc | if you are successful, i volunteer to try them out |
04:43.34 | JustinP | ok |
04:43.36 | jnc | specifically a GPE or dual GPE and OPIE image |
04:43.46 | JustinP | damn...opieimage failed |
04:44.00 | JustinP | well...I'm not sure how to do a dual image :-| I should look into that |
04:44.13 | JustinP | probably wouldn't be so hard |
04:44.29 | JustinP | the opie image failed due to a host library getting used...WTF |
04:44.38 | JustinP | /usr/lib/libc.a |
04:44.41 | jnc | ah |
04:44.43 | jnc | that's a mess |
04:45.13 | JustinP | yes it is...I had a similar error with the subversion bb files someone just posted to the list |
04:46.24 | jnc | it seems like the rotate fix wasn't in the pear.reversefold.com feed |
04:46.33 | JustinP | which rotate fix? |
04:46.50 | JustinP | yeah, my Opie always starts in portrait |
04:46.56 | jnc | there's a rotate fix |
04:47.06 | jnc | i forgot what it was, but now it is wiped out eh |
04:47.07 | JustinP | but I got GPE to start right...except portrait was 180 degrees off for some reason... |
04:47.19 | JustinP | well if it's in OE it should be in my builds |
04:47.27 | JustinP | "should" |
04:48.03 | JustinP | assuming it's in the openzaurus-3.5.4 set |
04:48.16 | jnc | oh okay |
04:48.21 | jnc | yeah i think it might be fixed there |
04:49.49 | JustinP | well...that's what I've been using for a while |
04:51.11 | JustinP | anyway the GPE build will hopefully work... |
04:51.48 | JustinP | argh. I can't believe I overwrote some of my libraries... |
04:54.06 | JustinP | hmmm..../var is back |
04:54.22 | JustinP | it was getting mounted as tmpfs for some odd reason... |
04:54.28 | JustinP | *whew* |
04:54.51 | JustinP | (I wish I could get parted working so I can make another testing partition...) |
04:56.09 | JustinP | jnc: have you tested it yet? |
04:56.19 | jnc | mmm? |
04:56.27 | JustinP | parted |
04:56.28 | jnc | tested what when? |
04:56.31 | jnc | oh, no i haven't |
04:56.38 | jnc | completely forgot about it d'oh |
04:56.52 | JustinP | you didn't *have* to upgrade from my feed you know...you could have just installed parted |
04:57.10 | jnc | yeah |
04:57.11 | jnc | i goofed |
04:57.16 | jnc | now terminal won't start |
04:57.21 | JustinP | pff |
04:57.24 | JustinP | no terminal? |
04:57.28 | jnc | no terminal |
04:57.37 | jnc | i'm logged in via wifi ssh session |
04:57.40 | JustinP | you mean the terminal in opie? |

04:57.48 | JustinP | oh that |
04:57.49 | jnc | unicode-rxvt i think |
04:57.55 | JustinP | you're not logged in as root I take it? |
04:58.11 | JustinP | non-root terminal doesn't work in gpe for some reason |
04:58.16 | JustinP | root shell should work fine |
04:58.20 | jnc | oh |
04:58.22 | jnc | strange |
04:58.25 | jnc | maybe permissions |
04:58.32 | JustinP | and you can always "chvt 1" to go back to the normal shell |
04:58.35 | jnc | /etc/securetty or something |
04:58.36 | JustinP | yes, some kind of permissions |
04:58.41 | JustinP | if you know how to fix it.... |
04:58.45 | jnc | i found the page with the rotate fix |

05:05.30 | jnc | i don't know |

05:06.58 | JustinP | I added an e2fsck to the boot process before the root is mounted since most of my reboots are from crashes |
05:07.14 | jnc | maybe it is coincidence, mine booted only after i pluged it into USB and assigned usb0 an IP addr |
05:07.18 | jnc | i think it is coincidence |

05:08.13 | JustinP | heh |
05:08.18 | jnc | what's a good idea, would you say to resize it? |
05:08.32 | JustinP | I'd say try to make it a bit smaller |
05:08.33 | jnc | i'd like to do what you said and have the SHARP ROM on like factory original |
05:08.37 | jnc | okay |
05:08.43 | JustinP | then make hda3 smaller |
05:09.09 | AppleBoy | JustinP: how long does this compile part take? |
05:09.28 | JustinP | I made it ~700M smaller and made a 200M swap and 500M root partition |
05:09.49 | jnc | how much of your root does get used up? |
05:10.11 | jnc | oh weird, there's ... |
05:10.14 | JustinP | AppleBoy: well I can't say for sure. I'm attempting to compile an image...hopefully it's pretty close. Why, do you need me to tone it down? |

05:10.42 | jnc | what's hda1 and what's hda2? |
05:10.46 | AppleBoy | but once I'm out, nothing can wake me up |
05:10.51 | JustinP | jnc: well I'm at ~100MB free right now but I have opie, GPE, and a whole mess of other things installed plus a bunch of my own files |
05:10.55 | AppleBoy | I've slept through 5.4 earthquakes without waking up |
05:11.03 | jnc | AppleBoy: go to sleep |
05:11.18 | JustinP | jnc: hda1 is the normal root partition (what you're running on now) |
05:11.24 | jnc | interesting |
05:11.27 | jnc | so what is hda2 |
05:11.36 | jnc | for 421mb |
05:11.38 | JustinP | jnc: hda2 is the "program area" where the Sharp ROM installs things |
05:11.43 | jnc | oh |
05:11.53 | jnc | i'm not using that am i |
05:11.57 | JustinP | the root root is in flash |
05:12.12 | JustinP | no, you shouldn't be...I think the normal OZ image only uses hda1 |
05:12.27 | JustinP | AppleBoy: I can stop it for a while if you like |
05:12.33 | AppleBoy | don't worry |
05:13.01 | JustinP | I wouldn't lose anything, I'd just suspend the compile |
05:13.15 | JustinP | and wake it up in 45 minutes or so |

05:14.16 | AppleBoy | JustinP: if it suspends without loosing, if you could stop it in 5 minutes for say 30 minutes, that would be nice |
05:14.19 | JustinP | but I sure finished lots of video games :-| |

05:15.18 | jnc | oh |
05:15.35 | jnc | where do user files fit into the Z scheme |
05:15.42 | jnc | or rather where should they on OZ |
05:15.52 | jnc | i like how GPE runs with a normal user |

05:16.28 | jnc | what should i do |
05:17.03 | JustinP | jnc: same thing I got, go ahead and cancel |
05:17.16 | JustinP | looks like there's a problem with the parted compile or one of the libraries |
05:17.31 | jnc | possibly the kernel |
05:17.33 | jnc | i don't know |
05:17.35 | JustinP | well...I don't know if there is any special /home mount in OZ as it stands for the apitz |
05:17.39 | jnc | i've heard that fdisk has a similar problem |
05:17.50 | JustinP | jnc: well I for parted working on Sharp ROM with a similar kernel |
05:17.58 | jnc | hmm |
05:18.00 | jnc | could be libs |
05:18.13 | jnc | the fdisk problem would be one thing to look at |
05:18.16 | jnc | people have fixed that |
05:18.24 | jnc | using special version of gcc i think |
05:18.35 | JustinP | fdisk problem? |
05:18.47 | jnc | fdisk does not see boundries correctly in OZ |
05:18.52 | jnc | you need a special fdisk version |
05:18.54 | JustinP | hmmmm... |
05:19.09 | JustinP | documentation? |
05:19.19 | jnc | would have to google for it hang on |
05:19.22 | jnc | try it out though |
05:19.24 | jnc | sudo fdisk -l |
05:19.41 | jnc | then it spits out things mentioning non cylinder boundries |
05:20.58 | JustinP | I don't see any messages like that.... |
05:21.12 | JustinP | then again I have altered my partitions ;-) |
05:21.14 | jnc | oh you don't |
05:21.17 | jnc | hm |
05:21.38 | JustinP | I think I may have before I used parted before |

05:40.01 | jnc | well the fdisk that is packaged in busybox sucks |
05:40.08 | jnc | it does not work correctly |

05:42.21 | jnc | hm |
05:42.50 | JustinP | not sure if there's on in the official feeds |
05:43.14 | dhr | any idea why -mstructure-size-boundary=8 is needed? |

05:43.40 | JustinP | I'm not that deep into it all yet |
05:43.59 | jnc | i'm not knowlegable |
05:44.14 | JustinP | (meaning I don't even know what that flag does ;-) |
05:44.16 | jnc | if i had to guess, perhaps due to an 8 or 16 bit interface |

15:32.24 | hrw|work | you have hostap-modules-cs installed (atleast should as they are by default) |
15:32.33 | yipstar | so I have a bit of a bluetooth dilemna with openzaurus 3.5.3, I have two cards an Ambicom BT2000D (which is known not to work I believe) and a Blue Monkey card (which is known to work I believe) |
15:32.37 | Exis | lemme look |
15:32.50 | yipstar | I will gladly donate one card to anyone who can help me set the other one up |
15:32.56 | hrw|work | Exis: when you insert card then hostap_cs should be loaded |

15:36.46 | yipstar | hrw|work my blue monkey card comes up as Bluetooth BT0100M iirc correctly, I'm waiting for the device to boot up |
15:36.49 | RockClimber | I tried to do the updates after flashing 3.5.3 and got an error about lack of space. I set the ipkg temp dir to the CF card, but the whole process still crashed during update requiring a reflash. Any tips on doing all the updates required to upgrade to the -r21 kernel.

15:38.35 | hrw|work | yipstar: that one? |
15:39.15 | hrw|work | yipstar: if it is then install kernel-module-serial-cs |

15:39.32 | yipstar | hrw|work: I installed that kernel module I believe |
15:39.50 | hrw|work | Exis: after insert of card you should get "hostap-cs" module loaded - try "lsmod" |
15:46.47 | Exis | hostap-cs is in there |

15:58.20 | yipstar | but the file is there |

18:11.47 | JustinP | not sure |
18:11.53 | JustinP | but you should probably use rboot instead |
18:12.21 | cosmo- | it uses rboot i think |

18:21.36 | cosmo- | CoreDump|home: i could try that. will you help me if there are problems? |
18:22.02 | CoreDump|home | sure |
18:22.36 | cosmo- | i have a 256mb SD card where i'd like to boot from |
18:22.50 | CoreDump|home | which Z? |
18:22.55 | cosmo- | 5500 |
18:23.17 | CoreDump|home | ah good |
18:23.38 | CoreDump|home | http://hentges.net/tmp/altboot/ |
18:23.43 | cosmo- | the SD is currently formatted as ext2, but i get filesystem errors with it. the root on SD doc says it would be better to use a disk image on fat32 |
18:24.29 | cosmo- | so i think what i would like to do is format it fat32, do a disk image, and boot from it.. does this make sense? |
18:24.54 | cosmo- | i'm a total newbie with zaurus, got one last friday so i might try to do something stupid ;) |
18:25.39 | CoreDump|home | cosmo-: I'm using a disk image off of an ext2 SD card on my collie for quite some time now. |
18:25.48 | CoreDump|home | works perfectly |
18:26.18 | cosmo- | why disk image on ext2? why images work better than straight filesystem? |
18:27.19 | cosmo- | but if it works, i'll do the same |
18:28.02 | CoreDump|home | cosmo-: ah easy :) Because i was to lazy to set up a rootfs on a SD card and built me a disk-image w/ OE instead ;) |
18:28.29 | cosmo- | ok |
18:28.42 | cosmo- | i'm flashing now to get a clean system |

18:35.16 | cosmo- | installed ipk |
18:36.13 | cosmo- | should i have a partition on SD or is it enough to just make filesystem? |
18:36.36 | cosmo- | i could do a small swap partition on SD also |
18:39.16 | cosmo- | ..but i think that can be done with a swap file |
18:39.52 | cosmo- | root@collie:~# mkfs.ext2 /dev/mmcda1 |
18:41.51 | CoreDump|home | cosmo-: ummm |
18:42.10 | CoreDump|home | i believe altboot is currently hardwired to mmcda1 |
18:42.17 | hardwire | hi |
18:42.23 | CoreDump|home | heh |
18:42.27 | CoreDump|home | hi hardwire |

18:43.13 | cosmo- | CoreDump|home: yes? i have now one ext2 partition (mmcda1) |
18:43.26 | CoreDump|home | good |
18:43.32 | cosmo- | should the fs be mounted with sync or not? |
18:43.50 | CoreDump|home | cosmo-: altboot will mount async |
18:44.04 | CoreDump|home | it's wayyyyyy faster this way |

18:45.08 | cosmo- | mount: Mounting /dev/mmcda1 on /media/card failed: Invalid argument |

18:51.08 | CoreDump|home | cosmo-: i dunno that doc, follow the instructions on how to copy all files. Then remove /etc/init.d/sd |
18:51.18 | CoreDump|home | hehe |
18:51.28 | CoreDump|home | booting from NFS is fun - useless but fun |
18:51.56 | cosmo- | the doc is here and it uses some scripts to do things http://openzaurus.org/wordpress/howto/root-on-sd/ |
18:52.59 | CoreDump|home | can't comment on these scripts, sorry |
18:56.06 | cosmo- | ok i have now copied the files to the image |

18:56.24 | jnc | CoreDump, JustinP is working on c3000 support |
18:56.28 | jnc | loosely |
18:56.45 | CoreDump|home | ah i c |
18:56.48 | jnc | there's no fully functional 2.6.x kernel for cxk0 that i know of |
18:56.59 | jnc | what's needed for altboot to work? |

18:57.45 | CoreDump|home | read this and be done :) |
18:57.50 | cosmo- | yep i'm reading it |
18:58.11 | cosmo- | i must move the opie.img to boot-images dir on SD and rename it? |
18:58.27 | CoreDump|home | correct |
18:58.37 | CoreDump|home | but thats about it |
18:59.33 | cosmo- | ok, hope it works |
18:59.43 | CoreDump|home | if your card is big enough you can have multiple images |
19:00.04 | cosmo- | now booting.. |
19:01.17 | cosmo- | it asks to set a master password |
19:01.57 | CoreDump|home | yeah, cause you can boot with "init=/bin/sh" with altboot |
19:02.07 | cosmo- | i think it booted normally, it ditn't even ask which image to boot |
19:02.10 | CoreDump|home | you dont want that w/o pw |
19:02.23 | CoreDump|home | did you select SD boot? |
19:02.49 | cosmo- | it ditn't pause to let me choose it |
19:02.57 | CoreDump|home | eh, it should |
19:03.05 | cosmo- | i'll reboot again |
19:03.31 | CoreDump|home | wait, did you get the boot menu at all? (ie: 1- normal boot, 2- somthing else etc) |
19:03.53 | cosmo- | yes i got it, but it automatically booted [1] |
19:04.01 | CoreDump|home | ah |
19:04.10 | CoreDump|home | don't touch the keyboard while booting |
19:04.11 | cosmo- | now it doesn't show the menu |
19:04.28 | cosmo- | i had to write the password on first time |
19:04.34 | CoreDump|home | right |
19:06.12 | CoreDump|home | you are not trying altboot on SharpROM, right? |
19:06.23 | jnc | CoreDump, no GPE ROMs on hentges.net ? |

19:09.44 | CoreDump|home | jnc: not me |
19:09.58 | cosmo- | now i got menu when i hit space when the text arrived |
19:10.24 | CoreDump|home | it should wait about 3 seconds before booting |
19:10.42 | cosmo- | maybe the delay (3 in config) is not functioning? |
19:12.09 | CoreDump|home | it's a simple "sleep" command while it checks for key presses. Oh, and by "any key" it virtually _does_ mean _any_ key or button on the Z |
19:12.15 | cosmo- | but hey /dev/loop1 141.9M 24.2M 110.3M 18% / |
19:12.21 | cosmo- | it works |
19:12.30 | CoreDump|home | :) |
19:12.47 | cosmo- | should it show the menu every time, or boot the last selection after delay? |
19:13.14 | cosmo- | and menu is accessed by pressing any key during delay? |
19:14.01 | CoreDump|home | it should wait 3 seconds, if you press a key during this time, it will show the menu. Otherwise it will boot the last selection |
19:14.27 | CoreDump|home | you can configure it to always show the menu an wait if that's what you want |

20:13.48 | jnc | hmm |
20:14.22 | CoreDump|home | jnc: i would hope so. Not even Sharp could be that stupid and put it onto the HDD |
20:14.47 | jnc | what i mean is could i really REALLY brick it by overwriting the NAND flash |
20:15.37 | CoreDump|home | IIRC, yes |
20:15.41 | jnc | uh oh |
20:15.55 | jnc | i better not unplug the device before getting a proper nand on there |
20:16.04 | jnc | service menu is still on and responding |
20:16.18 | CoreDump|home | it boots a jffs partition when yo enter the service menu IIRC. Kill the partition and your Z is a birck |
20:16.33 | cosmo- | who maintains the oz feed package dependencies? for example konqueror-embedded is fully installable, but its dependencies are screwed |
20:16.44 | CoreDump|home | oh, in theory OZ shouldn't thouch this partition |
20:17.03 | JustinP | cosmo-: it's probably in OE |
20:17.09 | JustinP | cosmo-: what's wrong with them? |
20:17.50 | cosmo- | it wants wrong libqte2 version, and misses libpcre0 and libstdc++ dependencies |
20:18.21 | CoreDump|home | time for bed, n8 all |
20:18.30 | cosmo- | n8 coredump |
20:27.58 | jnc | gah |
20:29.04 | JustinP | jnc: I've always used a CF card for flashing |
20:33.06 | JustinP | cosmo-: OpenEmbedded does most of the dependency stuff on its own. Looks ok to me in my newest compile. |
20:33.43 | cosmo- | yep.. but the one i get from opie is broken |
20:35.00 | *** join/#openzaurus mithro (~tim@lester.mithis.com) |
20:35.17 | JustinP | well I guess that ipk is broken....sorry, I don't know what to tell you. I don't think that the OZ maintainers update the OZ feeds... |
20:38.31 | *** join/#openzaurus mithro (~tim@lester.mithis.com) |
20:39.02 | jnc | okay |
20:39.14 | jnc | found another SD card, flashed okay it says "OK" |
20:39.24 | jnc | i don't know for sure if it worked, gosh that makes me nervous |
20:42.25 | JustinP | jnc: argh, minimo build is failing and blocking the gpe-image. don't have time to fix it right now (maybe later) |
20:42.34 | JustinP | opie image is failing due to some libpcreposix thing... |
20:42.45 | Ycros | they all faaaail |
20:43.18 | jnc | awwee |
20:43.28 | jnc | you are on your way to distruction |

20:43.49 | jnc | gah |
20:43.53 | jnc | can't spell |
20:44.06 | JustinP | bitbake -cclean libpcre argh! |
20:44.18 | JustinP | the hell? |
20:44.24 | JustinP | anyway |
20:44.33 | JustinP | pcre is failing due to a /usr/lib/libc.a being on the system |
20:46.45 | jnc | so... |
20:47.45 | *** join/#openzaurus maz (~maz@ppp-62-245-161-165.mnet-online.de) |
20:48.09 | JustinP | it can be fixed....somehow...I hope, but I really need to get some work done now |
20:48.16 | JustinP | perhaps I'll find a solution tonight if I have time... |

20:48.56 | jnc | err |
20:49.07 | jnc | on the c3000 does the service menu use the same kernel as OZ? |
20:49.20 | jnc | i'm confused about that |
20:49.23 | *** join/#openzaurus maz (~maz@ppp-62-245-161-165.mnet-online.de) |
20:49.32 | Ycros | jnc: I have my suspicions |
20:49.36 | JustinP | jnc: in the meantime you can upgrade via the dioxide feed if you want to test the builds I did get done (don't giv it out, though) |
20:49.44 | Ycros | as I bricked mine trying to install my own kernel |
20:49.55 | Ycros | oh wain |
20:49.57 | Ycros | t |
20:50.00 | JustinP | Ycros: do you really think so? I would thikn they'd put a known working solution in there.... |
20:50.17 | Ycros | you mean the low level one, or the one where you usually flash from? |
20:50.35 | JustinP | *I* mean the NAND backup one |
20:50.49 | Ycros | oh. nah. that one's fine |
20:50.51 | JustinP | the other one, the "flash" one probably does use the same kernel... |
20:51.06 | Ycros | yeah it does |

20:52.03 | JustinP | "bricked" to me means that you can't fix it without sending it to the manufacturer |
20:52.16 | JustinP | if the service menu stuill works you can NAND restore it |
20:55.40 | cosmo- | package manager is much more stable now when my filesystem isn't corrupted anymore :) |

21:10.57 | JustinP | I have no clue, actually ;-) |
21:11.00 | JustinP | probably isn't |
21:11.15 | jnc | the other question, is how to get more than 4 partitions on the drive |
21:11.28 | jnc | like you said, swap and root fs after the vfat partition |
21:12.01 | jnc | i'm using sfdisk from the rescue boot |

21:22.06 | jnc | like uh, a windows extended partition or what |
21:22.16 | JustinP | yeah, I meant extended |
21:22.24 | JustinP | and then you make logcal partitions in that |
21:22.34 | JustinP | (sfdisk?) |
21:26.06 | jnc | yep, sfdisk |
21:42.25 | jnc | uh oh |
21:42.53 | jnc | i (dd if=/dev/zero# of=/dev/hda)'d the microdrive |
21:43.04 | jnc | and made a new disklabel with fdisk from boot recovery menu |
