| 00:11:09 | catch23 | what was the fix for that "respawning too fast" problem? I solved it a long time ago but now I forget.... |
| 00:12:29 | robl_ | hrmm. I installed intimate.. but X was not started automatically and 'startx' doesn't work |
| 01:39:45 | catch23 | eh, the password for fresh installation of intimate is "rootme" is it not? |
| 01:42:17 | sjohnson | catch23: YES. |
| 01:47:57 | catch23 | strange that it doesn't work... hmm... |
| 01:48:32 | | rumour has it ssh-keygen is '/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N ""' and '/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -d -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -N ""' |
| 01:48:32 | robl_ | ibot, ssh-keygen |
| 01:53:04 | sjohnson | catch23: Try adding /dev/ttySA0 to the /etc/securetty file |
| 01:53:39 | catch23 | ah k... |
| 14:43:15 | robl^ | anyone know why an iPAQ would freeze while running mkreiserfs during intimate install? |
| 15:10:11 | wear2 | hi! |
| 15:10:32 | wear2 | does anybody know where the code for blkmtd is? on intimate site there are only binaries... |
| 17:39:18 | EGg0_in|out | is away: going to teach class- I'll show those little bastards who's boss :) |
| 18:49:07 | robl^ | can anyone here give me a few pointers to get around some intimate install glitches? |
| 19:52:55 | robl^ | can anyone here give me a few pointers to get around some intimate install glitches? |
| 20:18:14 | EGg0_in|out | is back (gone 02:38:53) |
| 21:39:20 | | tangent was last seen on #handhelds.org 10 days, 12 hours, 7 minutes and 41 seconds ago, saying: I'm off to stick some paper to some walls... Catch you all later on... Bye [Sat Sep 15 10:31:39 2001] |
| 21:39:20 | jacques_gone | ibot: seen tangent |
| 22:13:11 | pisymbol | 'allo |
| 22:22:54 | pisymbol | anyone successfully build a new toolchain? |
| 22:30:08 | pisymbol | I had to use --disable-shared to get gcc to ld - but of course now I can't execute binaries on my iPAQ |
| 22:55:44 | robl^ | "dpkg: error processing libc6 (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1"... hrmm is that normal during intimate install? |
| 23:27:02 | pisymbol | no, I don't think so |
| 23:27:22 | pisymbol | of course, what is install kernel version - is it still 2.4.3? |
| 23:27:38 | robl^ | yeah. 2.4.3 stock familiar 0.4 |
| 23:28:49 | robl^ | didn't start x... and ther is an error in the log gile that it couldn't find a map file. |
| 23:29:01 | robl^ | er... log file |
| 23:29:32 | pisymbol | ahh...it didn't start X that may be because the device touch screen has the wrong major number |
| 23:29:42 | pisymbol | hold on...can you log in? |
| 23:30:01 | robl^ | yeah. I logged in via serail console |
| 23:30:16 | robl^ | ugh. I need typing lessons. |
| 23:31:43 | pisymbol | alright, goto /etc/init.d |
| 23:31:55 | pisymbol | 'cat devfs' |
| 23:32:27 | robl^ | ok! what am I looking for? |
| 23:33:32 | pisymbol | it should be script that mknod's your devices --- whats ts? 253? |
| 23:33:49 | robl^ | /dev/ts c 254 0 & /dev/tsraw is c 254 1 |
| 23:34:48 | pisymbol | ls -l /dev/ts* |
| 23:35:11 | pisymbol | what's the output? |
| 23:35:14 | robl^ | crw-r--r-- 1 root root 254, 0 Jan 1 03:36 /dev/ts |
| 23:35:14 | robl^ | crw-r--r-- 1 root root 254, 1 Jan 1 03:36 /dev/tsraw |
| 23:35:40 | pisymbol | then your good...so what do you see when X starts? |
| 23:35:55 | robl^ | it doesn't |
| 23:36:16 | robl^ | I still have the little penguin logo in the corner |
| 23:36:40 | pisymbol | wait a minute...ohh... |
| 23:36:48 | pisymbol | what does the console say when you boot up |
| 23:39:42 | robl^ | hold on.. rebooting |
| 23:40:20 | pisymbol | okay, it may come up now - the new install has to include a stable newer image |
| 23:41:49 | robl^ | hrmmm. Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.3-rmk2-np1/modules.deps is repeated several times |
| 23:42:26 | pisymbol | okay...what else do you see |
| 23:43:34 | robl^ | want me to paste the entire boot sequence? |
| 23:44:09 | pisymbol | no, not yet, what are the error messages do you see? |
| 23:44:30 | robl^ | sck: fsck.reiserfs: not found |
| 23:44:30 | robl^ | fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.reiserfs for /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 |
| 23:45:03 | robl^ | Warning: /lib/modules/2.4.3-rmk2-np1/kernel/arch/arm/mach-sa1100/apm.apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x02 (Driver version 1.13) |
| 23:45:03 | robl^ | o symbol for parameter bounce_interval not found |
| 23:45:22 | robl^ | modprobe: Can't locate module * |
| 23:46:19 | pisymbol | is this a fresh install or did you flash a custom kernel? |
| 23:46:33 | pisymbol | log in and do a depmod |
| 23:47:02 | robl^ | fresh instal.. I installed familiar 0.4, bootstrap, then did an intimate install |
| 23:47:47 | robl^ | depmod did noting mut return me to the prompt |
| 23:47:57 | robl^ | mut=but even |
| 23:49:42 | pisymbol | thats fine....what does your /var/log/messages have to say? |
| 23:50:25 | pisymbol | the Warning is power management, and I'm not entirely sure why you got that |
| 23:50:34 | robl^ | kernel: Cannot find map file. |
| 23:50:43 | pisymbol | ahh... |
| 23:50:52 | robl^ | kernel: inocache at c1f1ea68 |
| 23:51:02 | robl^ | everything else loooks normal |
| 23:51:39 | pisymbol | no wait that's okay |
| 23:51:54 | robl^ | this is the same thing it did when I installed yesterday. I followed the directions to the letter... twice |
| 23:52:10 | pisymbol | no, what od you seeon your screen, the boot up screen? |
| 23:52:20 | pisymbol | did you install on /dev/hda1 <--- that's important |
| 23:52:35 | robl^ | yeah |
| 23:53:16 | pisymbol | okay. what do you see on your screen irght now |
| 23:53:42 | robl^ | boot up screen (on iPAQ) just has Tux and "Setting unmounting /boot..." and "Setting up device nodes..." |
| 23:54:24 | pisymbol | hmm...alright...question, can you do a mount /boot |
| 23:55:14 | pisymbol | are you booting from a microdrive? |
| 23:55:32 | robl^ | ok.. it mounted |
| 23:55:44 | robl^ | yes. I have a 340MB microdrive |
| 23:56:25 | pisymbol | cd /boot |
| 23:56:39 | pisymbol | let's take a look at your linuxrc.intimate script |
| 23:56:45 | pisymbol | that's what starts intimate |
| 23:57:21 | pisymbol | hey sgodsell |
| 23:57:29 | robl^ | he sgodsell_nb |
| 23:57:38 | sgodsell_nb | Hello everyone ;) |
| 23:58:09 | robl^ | pisymbol: what should I be looking for in the boot script? |
| 23:58:30 | pisymbol | okay...when you boot through this script it should go into the [ -b /dev/hda1] block of code |
| 23:58:39 | pisymbol | And then pivot and boot intimate |
| 23:59:07 | pisymbol | does it get there? |
| 23:59:17 | pisymbol | Do you see the echo statement when you boot up? |
