| 00:37:15 | sammy_ | Russ : is me sammy ,the server say my Nick name is as the same as someone , but how does it happen ? how can I solve this ? |
| 00:47:27 | Russ | when "sammy" logs off, use nickserv to register the nick |
| 00:52:41 | sammy_ | ammm....but how to do ?... |
| 06:42:46 | sammy_ | BZFlag: how to do that ? change one nick name to another ...? |
| 06:47:07 | sammy_ | can U show me please .....!! type what command ? |
| 06:52:55 | sammy_ | ho !! ho !! I know |
| 06:55:29 | sammy_ | BZFlag : how about your son ? is him better ? |
| 06:56:03 | BZFlag | sammy_: just type /nick NewNick |
| 06:56:19 | sammy_ | ya !! |
| 06:56:46 | BZFlag | sammy_: thanx for asking. his hands have burn marks on them, but no swelling. he was in a good mode today. makes me happy. ;-) |
| 06:58:14 | sammy_ | omm!! good for that ...!! |
| 09:41:23 | Sammy_ | Hello ...!! |
| 09:41:29 | erikm | hello * |
| 09:48:28 | erikm | Russ: I am not too sure about the initrd tag, that's why I didn't put it in yet |
| 09:48:40 | erikm | Russ: I first want to discuss with rmk |
| 09:55:16 | erikm | Russ: it doesn't even work with root=/dev/hda1 so I back it out until we have proper parameter block support |
| 10:10:38 | BZFlag | erikm: he left |
| 10:10:55 | BZFlag | check out: http://TuxScreen.net/wiki/ ;-) |
| 10:12:03 | erikm | cool |
| 10:12:16 | erikm | I just backed out his change because it breaks on LART |
| 10:12:54 | BZFlag | well, you will sonn have a shannon to test on. ;-) |
| 10:12:59 | BZFlag | I gotta sleep... nite |
| 15:24:31 | Russ | erikm_dinner: it still boots anything else fine |
| 15:24:50 | Russ | the initrd memory is freed whin it discovers its not booting from initrd |
| 19:22:54 | erikm | re |
| 19:22:56 | erikm | dinner outside in the city. good restaurant. good salmon. excellent wine |
| 19:22:57 | Russ|werk | RE |
| 19:23:22 | Russ|werk | good stuff, be glad you don't live somewhere else....like the UK |
| 19:24:17 | erikm | yeah. UK has good restaurants as well. pity they can only be found in london |
| 19:24:47 | erikm | I resolved it with rmk |
| 19:24:59 | erikm | real fix will be in 2.4.7-rmk2 |
| 19:25:05 | Russ|werk | I had given up by the time I went to london |
| 19:25:12 | Russ|werk | erikm: what is the fix? |
| 19:25:55 | erikm | well, basically the same as I posted to the list, but now the PHYSADDR_TO_NID() macro is nicely hidden in an include file |
| 19:26:09 | erikm | which needed quite some reshuffling in the kernel |
| 19:26:37 | Russ|werk | what does this have to do with the initrd tag? |
| 19:26:44 | erikm | that's different |
| 19:27:12 | erikm | initrd tag didn't work on LART cause it expected also a ATAG_RAMDISK tag |
| 19:27:20 | erikm | I'll commit the change |
| 19:27:39 | erikm | do you also expand to an 8MB ramdisk on shannon and nesa? |
| 19:28:34 | erikm | the name INITRD is misleading, BTW. better name is RAMDISK_IMAGE |
| 19:28:39 | Russ|werk | ...I took the ramdisk() and initrd() out of fixup |
| 19:28:48 | erikm | that crashed on LART. |
| 19:29:08 | Russ|werk | well then thas bad |
| 19:29:11 | Russ|werk | er, thats bad |
| 19:29:22 | erikm | right now I can work without fixup function, but I need the RAMDISK tag |
| 19:29:35 | Russ|werk | it will be resolved with the paramater block |
| 19:29:36 | erikm | do you expand to an 8MB ramdisk or a 4MB ramdisk? |
| 19:29:45 | Russ|werk | 8M |
| 19:29:57 | Russ|werk | but ramdisk is still iffy |
| 19:30:04 | erikm | hmm, I make it a define in main.h then |
| 19:30:07 | erikm | changes |
| 19:30:19 | Russ|werk | maybe with the new cpu timing register, it will be better |
| 19:30:29 | Russ|werk | 0xa0 couldn't of been doing anything helpfull |
| 19:33:48 | Russ|werk | erikm: can you take a look at my sa1100fb patches? I had to do weird things for dual scan that I don't think are right |
| 19:34:46 | erikm | I think you'd better take them up with rmk |
| 19:34:52 | erikm | he maintains the stuff right now |
| 19:34:56 | Russ|werk | ok |
| 19:35:14 | Russ|werk | I noticed the sanity checking (CHECK_COMPAT) stuff was fairly broken |
| 19:35:44 | Russ|werk | was that changing from an old style, to a new style, and he put that in there to verify the new style was correct? |
| 19:35:49 | erikm | yes |
| 19:36:08 | erikm | IIRC 2.4.7-rmk1 has all #warning converted to #error |
| 19:36:18 | erikm | "no pain, no gain" -- Dave Miller |
| 19:36:41 | erikm | in that way people will *have* to fix it |
| 19:36:47 | Russ|werk | where should I be doing the GPIO_DISP_EN stuff? |
| 19:36:58 | erikm | ehm... |
| 19:37:00 | erikm | looks |
| 19:37:27 | Russ|werk | also, a bunch of the GPIO pins on the UCB1300 control the back/front light power/intensity/contrast |
| 19:37:41 | Russ|werk | should I add that to sa1100_fronlight, or is the sa1100fb code |
| 19:38:19 | erikm | does rmk have sa1100_frontlight, or is it an np invention? |
| 19:38:31 | erikm | if the last, you'd better take it up with rmk first |
| 19:38:40 | Russ|werk | fairly certain its np, it *very* ugly code |
| 19:38:47 | erikm | ok, that must be np |
| 19:39:03 | Russ|werk | and it has a dynamically allocated major |
| 19:39:14 | erikm | not that nico wrote it, but that usually means that he includes it in his tree so people can use it |
| 19:39:17 | Russ|werk | maybe there should be a /proc lcd control |
| 19:39:36 | erikm | I think it can be fairly easy a /dev/fb ioctl |
| 19:39:40 | Russ|werk | well, someone wrote it for assabet, and it was probably pretty clean |
| 19:40:00 | Russ|werk | but then someone went in and added freebird support |
| 19:40:11 | erikm | then somebody else started hacking it for other platforms and made the code unreadable by putting in lots of #ifdefs in code |
| 19:40:47 | Russ|werk | if I made an fb ioctl, I would need to make fb somehow depend on ucb1200 for the shannon arch |
| 19:40:53 | Russ|werk | or not |
| 19:40:57 | Russ|werk | just #ifdef UCB |
| 19:41:38 | Russ|werk | so if UCB isn't compiled, there aren't any such ioctl's |
| 19:41:43 | erikm | hmm |
| 19:41:55 | Russ|werk | I'll email arm-linux-kernel later about it |
| 19:42:18 | Russ|werk | contrast and intensity seem like they should be ioctl's to the fb |
| 19:45:11 | Russ|werk | should I set all my gpio direction registers in shannon.c? |
| 19:45:27 | erikm | no, only the most necessary |
| 19:45:30 | erikm | see lart |
| 20:28:26 | erikm | hmm, is that motorola guy -ENOCLUE, or -ETOOLAZY? |
| 20:46:14 | Russ|werk | I don't know, so many like him... |
| 20:46:23 | Russ|werk | and these bluecat users... |
| 20:58:58 | erikm | gotta go |
| 20:59:01 | erikm | bye |
