| 01:33:44 | epac | hello all ! quick simple question: do you know what the "kiss" distro is for the ipaq? |
| 01:34:23 | Disconnect | epac: #kiss |
| 01:34:26 | Disconnect | but I can answer. |
| 01:34:30 | Disconnect | its not ready yet ;) |
| 01:34:46 | epac | :o) i saw the "homepage" at kiss.hh.org |
| 01:34:56 | Disconnect | ahh. |
| 01:35:13 | Disconnect | hoping to launch a week from sat (and if we get a miracle, it'll be this saturday, but I'm not even close to counting on it) |
| 01:35:31 | Disconnect | (btw if you hadn't guessed, its my headache ;) ..) |
| 01:35:43 | Disconnect | full details with the launch. unless you want to help test the bootstrap and installer. |
| 01:36:01 | Disconnect | (2M boostrap, flashes in a few minutes so retries aren't too difficult ;) ..) |
| 01:40:03 | epac | what are the objectives ? (i have just installed familiar 0.5, and i like it.. :o) and i'm wlling to sacrifice myself to the greater good of linux/ipaq :o) |
| 01:40:21 | epac | i'm going to #kiss :o) |
| 02:21:55 | DragonEagle | is away: I'm getting a movie and will probably be gone for the better part of the evening |
| 11:11:44 | agent | hi |
| 11:12:30 | agent | is it normal that BottBlaster hangs on with the message "programming flash" for more than 5 minutes? |
| 11:38:12 | agent | hei prh |
| 11:38:19 | agent | did you ever use osloader? |
| 11:38:29 | prh | nope |
| 11:38:32 | prh | oh |
| 11:38:36 | prh | must have once :O) |
| 11:38:46 | agent | ok |
| 11:39:01 | prh | I had my ipaq about an hour before wince got, erm signed off duty - permanently... |
| 11:39:16 | prh | that was way back in October sometime :O) |
| 11:39:18 | prh | why? |
| 11:39:49 | agent | well |
| 11:39:59 | agent | i've resetted bootblaster |
| 11:40:10 | agent | and fortunally it didn't write on flash |
| 11:40:50 | agent | now i'm trying osloader, and when i run bootldr from file it freezes |
| 11:44:00 | szachari | hi! has anyone managed to get blackdown's java 1.3.1 run with familiar 0.5? It used to run with 0.4 ... |
| 11:45:48 | agent | ah I think it worked |
| 11:46:18 | agent | is it normal that a parrot appears? |
| 12:09:03 | Jplana | hi! Anybody ther? |
| 12:23:31 | Jplana | hi? |
| 12:27:06 | greeno | is away: sleeping |
| 15:46:28 | DragonEagle | is away: ftw |
| 16:56:38 | DragonEagle | is back (gone 01:10:05) |
| 18:21:40 | izn0g | hi ! |
| 18:24:01 | izn0g | re |
| 18:24:30 | izn0g | I've got an ipaq running familiar .5 , successfull with a 802.11 card, |
| 18:24:42 | izn0g | but no success with a 3c589 one. |
| 18:24:58 | izn0g | I found lots of related stories on handhelds.org |
| 18:25:03 | izn0g | but no success story. |
| 18:25:10 | izn0g | any one here has a hint ? |
| 20:02:11 | louisk | can anyone help me with an ipaq linux install that has gone south? |
| 22:52:04 | horntuckin | anybody know a way to change your runlevel from the bootloader? |
| 22:53:38 | epac | in the linux args, stick "init=single and it will be in single user mode, from which you can go anywhere you want... |
| 22:54:00 | horntuckin | ok gonna try |
| 22:57:33 | prh | is away: zzZZZzzzzz |
| 22:57:44 | horntuckin | ok, we just did: boot jffs2 /boot/zImage linuxargs="init=single" |
| 22:58:04 | horntuckin | and same problem (which is: "INIT: no more processes left in this run level") |
| 22:58:36 | horntuckin | (we had changed it to 4 in the inittab in order to try to get this stowaway keyboard working) |
| 22:58:41 | horntuckin | so now we're kind of in a pickle |
| 23:06:30 | epac | try something like "initrc=/bin/sh" instead.. should drop you to a shell and let you edit the inittab file to fix this.. |
| 23:07:13 | greeno | is back (gone 08:09:13) |
| 23:07:14 | horntuckin | nice dude. will try |
| 23:08:56 | horntuckin | unfortunately its not working |
| 23:08:58 | horntuckin | i think we're hosed |
| 23:09:19 | epac | can you tell me what is happening when you boot ? |
| 23:09:31 | epac | can you verify that the linuxargs are actually passed to the kernel ? |
| 23:09:59 | horntuckin | yeah we can |
| 23:10:12 | epac | (it should be listed somewhere on the boot console..) |
| 23:10:45 | horntuckin | if we change console=/dev, we see command line is: noititrd root=/dev/mtdblock/1 ... |
| 23:11:33 | horntuckin | (and then yeah we see the arguments we fed it) |
| 23:13:22 | horntuckin | noinitrd........hey does that mean it didn't like the args we tried to feed it? |
| 23:15:53 | horntuckin | it's definitely taking the arguments. we redirected console to ttySA0 and the console output came over our hyperterminal client |
| 23:17:32 | epac | try to set linuxargs in bootloader, and then type boot jffs2 /boot/zImage |
| 23:19:34 | horntuckin | looks promising here |
| 23:22:02 | horntuckin | just getting the final kinks out.... |
| 23:22:54 | horntuckin | NOOO! |
| 23:22:56 | horntuckin | we're hosed |
| 23:23:44 | horntuckin | we did as you said, set the linuxargs a la: set linuxargs="init=single root=/dev/mtdblock/1 console=ttySA0" |
| 23:23:50 | horntuckin | then params save |
| 23:24:04 | horntuckin | then boot jffs2 /boot/zImage |
| 23:24:17 | horntuckin | and it still hosed us on runlevel 4 |
| 23:26:37 | horntuckin | hey epac, we appreciate your help....those were good ideas! unfortunately we got no love from the device. |
| 23:26:42 | horntuckin | time to go drink |
| 23:26:47 | horntuckin | have a nice weekend and thanks again. |
