03:49.35JustinPCoreDump|afk: ....you're crazy, then. It's very useful for booting other images. Why would you need CMDLINE to have kexec be useful?
03:51.49JustinPCoreDump|afk: you don't need to implement CMDLINE support for it to be useful. Just choosing of a kernel is enough. I like the way that the altboot version I'm using works. Choose a kernel, then choose an image and it kexecs the kernel, then the image is chosen because it's set to "defaults". A little more polish and it would have been ready.

10:48.06CoreDump|afkJustinP: there is no way for altboot to detect if the running kernel is the flashed one, or one that has been kexec'ed. Altboot has no way to know if it needs to kexec or if it has already done so. The only hackish way to use altoot is to install altboot w/ kexec-hack into flash, then kexec a kernel that boots the HDD. The HDD then runs an altboot w/o the kexec hacks. This situation is far from ideal
10:49.24CoreDump|afkThe only clean way is having altboot modify CMDLINE of a kexec'ed kernel so altboot can detect if the running kernel is native or kexec'ed.
10:50.03CoreDump|afkThere simply is no other way. If you one, I'm happy to discuss it.

15:51.03geekoid_workHi all gotta an Angstrom question: I flashed the latest spitz console image and am trying to install gpe
15:52.18geekoid_workI installed gpe-depends gpe-task-base gpe-task-settings & gpe-task-apps however the xserver doesn't seem to work
15:52.47geekoid_workI get this error on reboot http://paste2.org/p/3267
16:07.14lardmangeekoid_work: No idea what zaurusd is complaining about, but iirc it's a script so you could take a look inside it
16:07.53lardmangeekoid_work: I assume something's missing for the xserver, again, take a look at the startx script (or init.d entry - I can't remember which is used to start it)
16:08.03lardmangeekoid_work: Is there no gpe-image available?
16:11.37geekoid_worklardman: the last gpe-image I tried my Ambicom card didn't work properly. It does fine with the latest console image
16:13.11geekoid_workI've built my own image wit OE but I have the same Ambicom problem (it loads orinoco instead of hostap and when orinoco modules are removed WEP doesn't work with hostap :(
16:14.09lardmanThat indicates there's a difference between the console- and gpe-images
16:14.34lardmanYou could probably track that down by looking at the .bb files for the two images
16:15.18lardmanAlternatively, look and see which module it uses with the console image, and after flashing the gpe-image add/remove the appropriate one, etc.
16:16.13lardmanIs the WEP thing related to the version of hostap? Best ask hrw, or again look in the .bb for console-image
16:16.20geekoid_workwifi speaking the difference seems to be task-base-wifi is in the console image, when I install it to gpe image it doesn't fix the problem
16:17.54*** join/#openzaurus NAbyss (n=foo@ppp93-58.lns1.mel4.internode.on.net)
16:23.10lardmanhmm, sorry then, my guess work is about out of guesses
16:25.24geekoid_worklardman: thanks anyway! I'm stepping through the init scripts now but I'm dev ;)
16:25.48geekoid_worknot dev I mean - can't type either

16:47.46hrworinoco or hostap... ARGH
16:47.56hrwwep should work with both
16:52.31geekoid_workhrw: I tried your solution of installing task-base-wifi but it seems to want to load a hostap encryption module that it can't find..
16:54.48hrwwhich one?
16:56.52geekoid_workI'd have to reflash back to the gpe-image. Give me few moments.. I'm building the angstrom-xll-image right now to see if I have better luck with that..
16:57.04lardmanbye chaps

17:13.07geekoid_workhrw: hostap_crypt_wep.o is what dmesg complains about not being able to load
17:14.05geekoid_workBUT hostap works fine on the console image, this error is from a gpe-image I built on 14-5-07
17:14.45geekoid_workand I removed orinoco_cs so hostap driver would load for my Ambicom 1100 card
