05:25:41khaymanHey! - can anybody help me with a brick-iPaq?
05:26:17khaymanThe only thing living in it is the parrot, which I can connect to with HyperTerminal, but that's it...
05:32:49cmarqudid you read http://www.handhelds.org/projects/wincerestoration.html ?

12:02:37joyjasJust installed familiar v0.4 on the ipaq.  How do I mount the cf card?  ps I installed the task-bootstrap.jffs
12:05:04dneuerjoyas: does the task-bootstrap contain the card services stuff?
12:06:58joyjasWill check right now
12:11:04joyjasAh I guess it just seems to have the networking stuff.  Should I install the pcmcia-cs ipkg?
12:11:34dneuerjoyjas: yes
12:12:13joyjasthanks.  Not having a network card should I use xmodem or zmodem over a serial terminal link?
12:12:31dneuerjoyjas: yeah, zmodem works well
12:12:38joyjasThanks a lot
12:12:52dneuerjoyjas: in minicom, that is. xmodem also works ok in hyperterm
12:19:11mandrakezmodem is a very forgiving protocol
12:19:20mandrake:)
12:19:56mandrakealso supports features like resume, etc
12:21:04joyjasthanks.
12:21:42joyjasI have got the pcmcia stuff installed.  What device would my cf card be?
12:21:57joyjasI guess I can just mount it can I?
12:26:24dneuerjoyjas: make sure that you have the sleeve module either compiled in the kernel, or loaded as a module. Then just inserting the card should cause it to show up as an ide drive (lsmod will show you what modules are loaded, poke around /dev to see if you have the sleeve driver compiled in; check /proc for ide drives).
12:46:40joyjasI'm getting these messages regarding the cf card. hda: CFA, ATA DISK drive
12:46:41joyjaside0 at 0xf6000000-0xf6000007,0xf600000e on irq 42

12:46:45joyjascardmgr[59]: start cmd exited with status 1
12:47:27nikosjoyjas: I'm not sure that's an error so much as missing parts of the implementation.  Try to mount /dev/hda
12:51:32joyjasWhat filesystem type would I use I put some files on it using a usb to cf card writer under M$win98?
12:51:58dneuerjoyjas: FAT32
12:52:15nikosor vfat, as the case may be
12:52:32nikosAlthough I think most CF cards are plain fat or FAT16
13:14:40joyjas# mount -t vfat /dev/hda /mnt/hda
13:14:40joyjashda: 256512 sectors (131 MB) w/4KiB Cache, CHS=1002/8/32
13:14:40joyjasPartition check:
13:14:40joyjasfatfs: bogus cluster size
13:14:40joyjasVFS: Can't find a valid MSDOS filesystem on dev 03:00.
13:14:41joyjasmount: wr /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0:ong fs type, bad optio p1n, bad su
13:14:43joyjasperblock on /dev/hda,
13:14:45joyjas       or too many mounted file systems
13:15:49dneuerjoyjas: try vfat
13:16:04dneuerjoyjas: oops
13:16:04sjohnsonjoyjas: You need to specify the partition number 'mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda'
13:17:41joyjasGreat that seemed to do the trick.  Can I partition my cf card then?
13:17:52joyjasThanks by the way
13:19:10sjohnsonjoyjas: Yes. For all purposes, the CF card is an IDE drive. You can repartition, reformat to ext2, etc.
13:19:48sjohnsonjoyjas: But if your do, you probably will not be able to use it in other devices.
13:20:54joyjasI will keep that in mind as I find it great to use as a backup device.
14:11:26nikosis away: Gotta run home, back soon.

21:06:32DavidRabahywell, well, well, greetings
21:06:59nikosHello
21:07:24DavidRabahyboy, am I having fun playing with Linux on my iPAQ handheld
21:07:51DavidRabahyI gather folks here may have heard of Jamey Hicks?
21:08:08nikosOh, sure.
21:08:15DavidRabahyneat
21:08:19nikosHe's our hero. ;)
21:08:24DavidRabahyI work at Compaq too
21:08:28nikosAh, cool.
21:08:37nikosjg (Jim Gettys) is here.
21:09:05DavidRabahymy original motivation was to get Charon-VAX running on the iPAQ to run VMS on it but I'm having a ton of fun without all that
21:09:42DavidRabahyoh
21:09:43DavidRabahyhmm
21:09:49nikos?
21:09:53DavidRabahyhow does jg get out through the Compaq firewall?
21:10:03sjohnsonFYI, someone from if port a Mainframe emulator (Hercules) to IPAQ.
21:10:06DavidRabahyI had to connect to IRC from my home computer through a private ISP
21:10:22nikosDavidRabahy: He's at CRL.  Maybe they have a hole?
21:10:27DavidRabahyoh
21:10:38DavidRabahys390?
21:10:47DavidRabahyemulators are fun
21:11:00DavidRabahyI've heard there's a Palm emulator for wince
21:11:40DavidRabahyI wonder if I can arrange to use the CRL hole, if in fact there is one
21:12:20DavidRabahyI'll try tracking jg down to see what the story is
21:12:53DavidRabahyanywho, dinner time here
21:12:56DavidRabahycatch ya
21:13:00nikosBye
23:07:59DavidRabahyhey guys!
