01:04.58rwhitbyEnterUserName: no chance of LVM with Unslung - 2.4 kernel
01:05.17rwhitbyPossibly with SlugOS.  Give it a go and let us know if it works.

01:09.12EnterUserNameoh
01:09.16EnterUserNameRwhitby how about openslug
01:09.19EnterUserNamei see there are b inaries on it
01:09.49EnterUserNamerwhitby: u still there? How about openslug.. i see there are binaries for it. Im quite familiar with compiling code from scratch and have made my own packages with rpm and dpklg
01:10.19EnterUserNameahh that is slugos :)
01:10.44EnterUserNamei know i have a twisted sense of fun
01:16.48EnterUserNamehrm
01:16.50EnterUserNameuipgrading to debianslug
01:16.51EnterUserNameneat
01:16.59rwhitbyEnterUserName: or you can use DebianSlug to debootstrap Debian arm on a disk, and then use LVM2 in Debian.
01:17.33rwhitbyBut LVM rootfs in the internal flash with two USB disks with SlugOS would be a fine HowTo to add to www.nslu2-linux.org
01:19.02EnterUserNamelol
01:19.08EnterUserNamewell let me give it a try firstg :)
01:51.08EnterUserNameim trying to use multiple disks
01:51.15EnterUserNamelike 3 disks using a USBHUB
01:51.17EnterUserNamehrm
01:51.21EnterUserName2 disk i want to have lvm
01:51.26EnterUserNamebut i'll let u know how it goess :)

04:26.43EnterUserNamerwhitby: I'm kinda confused.. Im following the OpenDebianSlug instructions
04:26.48EnterUserNameare those outdated?
04:26.58EnterUserNameit seems to just be in a never for ending loop with the leds
04:27.04EnterUserNameand i cant seem to access it
04:28.24rwhitbyEnterUserName: if you want to use Debian, you should use the DebianSlug firmware now (little endian), not the OpenSlug firmware (big endian)

04:29.43EnterUserNameok thank u.. i'll continue :)

07:41.12hamishmi'm having trouble recompiling openslug 3.10-beta. is this the right place to ask for help?
07:41.41eFfeMmaybe, depends also on your problem. shoot
07:42.12hamishmpadBytes error: data (1064308) is longer than total_len (1048576) at /home/hamish/projects/openslug/slugos-3.10-beta/openslug-nslu2.tmp/staging/x86_64-linux/bin/slugimage line 58.

07:42.45eFfeMouch, that means your kernel is too large
07:43.00eFfeMwhat is your host hw?
07:43.08eFfeMamd64, dual core ?
07:43.18hamishmamd64 single core
07:43.59hamishmi attempted to build in an i386 chroot in case building on 64-bit wasn't supported. but gcc had an internal error earlier in the process
07:44.11eFfeMah ok, I was not sure whether single or dual core was relevant
07:44.28hamishmmight try building on a real x86 machine
07:44.43eFfeMfor some unknown reason the gcc cross compiler on amd64 generates larger code than it does on intel hw.
07:45.16hamishmok, so if I can get it building on x86 (either chroot or another machine) it should work?
07:45.41eFfeMwhich is odd as the code size shoudl not depend on the host platform, but apparently some decisions are taken differently because your host has a different processor
07:46.14eFfeMhamishm: yes. I build on a 3 Ghz dual pentium (930), and I build on a single 3 Ghz pention as well
07:47.09hamishmmy build in an i386 chroot died in gcc-cross-initial, with a segfault. :(

07:48.27eFfeMrwhitby: I expect the nudi build to fail and mine to succeed because nudi apparently already build alsa (because it is earlier in the list if you do a full build) and my system (or Corneliu's) does not
07:54.20eFfeMverified this, did a bb alsa-lib followed by a bb asterisk and it indeed fails.

10:19.18eFfeM-awaypepijn: why not dowonload the sources directly (without checkout), eg from here: http://sources.nslu2-linux.org/releases/
10:19.57eFfeM-awayor indirectly: http://www.slug-firmware.net/s-dls.php
10:20.25eFfeM-awayif you want the 3.10 version there is no need to get them from svn or cvs
10:20.30pepijneFfeM: i use extra kernel modules and need to build those
10:20.43pepijndo not want to build from MasterMakefile (HEAD)
10:20.52pepijnbut want the 'stable' release
10:20.58eFfeM-awayyes, just grab the sources from any nslu2-linux and modify defconfig
10:21.06eFfeM-awaythen rebuild
10:21.15eFfeM-away(gone again, have to manage the BBQ :-) )
10:21.26pepijnbut getting the sources from the release was too obvious ;)
10:26.55eFfeM-awaybtw afterthought: if you need additional modules which are not there just let us know. Adding a few m's to defconfig does not cause additional footprint so this is something that can be done easily
10:27.41eFfeM-awaythat's why there are so many modules nowadays. I had a few things added because I had the hw that needed this
10:27.47eFfeM-awayback to bbq again
10:28.08pepijnwhere can the extra modules be downloaded from?
10:28.13pepijnin ipkg format is ok
10:28.21pepijn(for debianslug)
10:28.45pepijnwould save me some compile time ;)
10:38.02pepijni mean: i use extra (as in, not from flash image) modules for debianslug and the defconfig does compile them
10:38.22pepijnbut they are not installed through the image, nor are they available through apt
10:38.36pepijnso if i can just download them from the ipkg feed, it should be ok
11:27.46*** join/#openslug caplink811 (n=Joerg@212.185.40.202)
11:45.55pepijnnever mind, found http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/debianslug
11:54.13eFfeM-awayok, actually if your ipkg.conf or whatever is ok you can just do ipkg install <package> and it will happily install them
11:59.01pepijnyeah, but debian has no 'native' ipkg package
11:59.18pepijnbut i guess i could always install ipkg from the feed (using dpkg) and start using it ;)
11:59.28pepijn(for the ipkg packages, that is)
11:59.51eFfeMah, ok i think you can indeed install it (played with debian in the past but decided I found contributing to oe easier
11:59.54pepijnnice thing about ipkg is that ipkg install <url> also works
11:59.57eFfeMand more fun of course
12:00.03eFfeMah didn't know that
12:00.16pepijni do that with openwrt
12:04.19eFfeMhaven't really played with openwrt, actually I have a wrt54g on my desk but it is an r5 one, need to swap it with another one
12:35.24rwhitbythe idea is to turnup back to flash, install any kernel modules you need, turnup back to the debian disk, then copy the kernel modules from /initrd to the disk.
12:35.46rwhitbyOr you can dpkg install a .ipkg file manually (you might need to force it due to missing dependencies).
12:36.51rwhitbyhttp://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/slugos/releases/slugos-3.10-beta/ is the svn URL (read-only unless you're authorised to modify the stable branch)
12:37.30pepijnrwhitby: re: ipkg, i used dpkg to install extra modules on the debian root, no need to have them on the flash root
12:37.51pepijnworks fine, but nw want to upgrade to 3.10beta, so needed updated ipkgs
12:37.56pepijnthat i have worked out now
12:38.09pepijnwhen it comes to the URL, i'll give that a try
12:38.14pepijnonly need read access ;)
12:38.39pepijnbut with the debianslug ipkg repository i do not need to do any compiling myself
12:39.37rwhitbyBTW, the DebianSlug image has the ipkg feed location (you should use feeds/slugos-lag/3.10-beta)
12:40.30pepijnah, right, forgot to look at /initrd/etc/ipkg.conf :-P
12:40.36rwhitbybe aware that the unstable feed is going to become incompatible very quickly with the 3.10 release, cause we're going to gcc 4.1 on the monotone head (so kernel modules built with gcc 4.1 won't work with any released binaries)
12:40.49pepijnof course
12:41.14pepijnthat was why i originally wanted to compile everything myself from the stable branch
12:41.23rwhitbyyep
12:42.00pepijnis http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/debianslug a symlink to http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/slugos-lag ?
12:42.29rwhitbyprobably, but only for legacy purposes - it's not guaranteed to stay
12:42.36pepijnk
12:42.52rwhitbythe only feeds guaranteed to stay are those that were referenced by released binary images
12:43.24rwhitbyother alpha feed locations (of which feeds/debianslug is one) eventually disappear
12:43.59pepijnwill the term 'DebianSlug' be phased out as well?
12:44.07pepijnit is casuing loads of confusion
12:44.19pepijns/casuing/causing/
12:44.52rwhitbywell, the distro is called SlugOS, and it has big-endian and little-endian versions.
12:45.15pepijni know, discussed that with NAiL at one point
12:45.16rwhitbyThe little-endian version happens to be useful for debootstrapping to Debian, and therefore became known as DebianSlug.
12:46.18rwhitbySo SlugOS/LE will probably always stay around (cause it is also used by the GentooSlug guys), but the kernel should eventually be very close between SlugOS/LE and Debian/NSLU2.
12:47.02pepijnyes, not thinking about that, just about terminology in repositories and in the wiki
12:47.07rwhitby(i.e. the patchset should be identical from a userland point of view, but perhaps the defconfig might be different due to Debian policy or something outside of nslu2-linux control)
12:47.48rwhitbyyou'll notice that the new SVN repository is called slugos, and the SlugOS 3.10 release README points to SlugOS/*** in the wiki.
12:48.03pepijnyep, i noticed
12:49.04rwhitbythe OpenSlug name is just as "wrong" as the DebianSlug name, cause both variants of SlugOS are built from OpenEmbedded, and both variants can be used to debootstrap a Debian rootfs.
12:49.13pepijnagreed
12:49.23rwhitbybut it's hard to change historical reasons
12:49.50pepijnbut one can try ;) that was basically what i asked
12:50.10rwhitbyyes, you'll notice that I use the SlugOS term as much as possible.

21:02.16EnterUserNamehowever i would like to customize my own kernel
21:02.28EnterUserNamecan't seem to find instructions on it
21:04.45EvilDevilEnterUserName, do you use the master makefile?
21:10.01EnterUserNameI probably will do that. Sorry I should give it a try first. and look at the slugos source.
21:11.50EnterUserNamebut i'm using debianslug and im not too sure cuz i uses little endian
21:11.53EnterUserName<PROTECTED>
21:11.55EvilDevilthe .config used for the slugos-kernel kompilation is @ ~slug/openembedded/packages/linux/ixp4xx-kernel/2.6.16/defconfig  (when using the Master Makefile)
21:12.06EvilDevils/kom/com/
21:12.44EnterUserNamethank you let me copy that
21:12.51EnterUserNameEvilDevil: Will that work with DebianSlug?
21:13.23EvilDevilyes, DebianSlug is one of the SlugOs variants (slugos-lag)
21:14.19EnterUserNameok thank you.. i'll come back with some questions later. I see there were some problems using X64|_SUSe 9.3
21:14.25EnterUserNameare those problems still there with 10.1?
21:14.34EnterUserNamefor the cross compiling system?
21:17.03EvilDevilno clue. but this problems seems to persist on the 64bit platform. the resulting flashimages (or kernels *??*) are too big to flash
21:17.14EnterUserNamehmm
21:17.24EnterUserNameok maybe i'll use my older athlon system then when i get hoem
21:17.41EnterUserNameits a Athlon Xp 1.6 slower system but if its easier.. and i'll install ubuntu on it
21:17.48EnterUserNameto go along with the instructions thanx :)
21:18.23EnterUserNamethank you for the help
21:19.28EvilDevilyou could install a 32bit linux on the x64 too (10-15 gb should be enough)
