| 01:09.05 | pmw | Does anyone know why tftpd refuses to start on finwe? |
| 01:10.18 | Wingnut | it is run through inetd |
| 01:10.45 | pmw | Ah. |
| 01:11.16 | pmw | For some reason the board in your cube times out when trying to fetch the kernel via TFTP. |
| 01:11.56 | Wingnut | then either the file is not named correctly, or the serverip has changed |
| 01:12.14 | Wingnut | serverip should be finwe's IP, and the bootfile should be whatever your kernel name is |
| 01:12.33 | Wingnut | to determine if the tftp server is running (from finwe): |
| 01:12.36 | Wingnut | tftp localhost |
| 01:12.37 | pmw | Does the "bootfile" environment variable need to have the path, or is it just the filename in /targets/tftp? |
| 01:12.42 | Wingnut | get <kernel filename> |
| 01:12.47 | Wingnut | just the filename |
| 01:15.45 | pmw | Weird. |
| 01:15.48 | Wingnut | ? |
| 01:16.02 | pmw | The filename is correct, and the serverip is correct. |
| 01:16.35 | Wingnut | try to get the same file by hand from finwe |
| 01:16.45 | pmw | I did. (tftp localhost) |
| 01:17.00 | pmw | It got it into my home directory. |
| 01:17.17 | pmw | Are the mount IP addresses supposed to be dirac? |
| 01:17.47 | Wingnut | nfsserverip should be sheath |
| 01:18.17 | Wingnut | the nfsroot directory should be /vol/vol3/omapsw_test... |
| 01:18.31 | pmw | Yep, it all checks out. |
| 01:19.05 | Wingnut | does a different bootfile work? |
| 01:20.54 | pmw | No. |
| 01:21.06 | pmw | I'll try to paste what's going on. |
| 01:21.09 | Wingnut | k |
| 01:22.06 | pmw | OMAP242x H4 # bootd |
| 01:22.06 | pmw | TFTP from server 128.247.76.56; our IP address is 128.247.108.108; sending throu |
| 01:22.06 | pmw | gh gateway 128.247.108.1 |
| 01:22.06 | pmw | Filename 'kernel-H4-24xx-2.6-latest.uImg'. |
| 01:22.06 | pmw | Load address: 0x80300000 |
| 01:22.09 | pmw | Loading: T T T T T T T T T T |
| 01:22.11 | pmw | Retry count exceeded; starting again |
| 01:22.55 | pmw | Then it loops like this until I power off the board. |
| 01:26.42 | Wingnut | is the network cable plugged in? |
| 01:27.15 | pmw | Haha, victory! |
| 01:27.19 | pmw | It wasn't plugged in. |
| 01:27.37 | pmw | I didn't even think about this, since I was communicating with it "remotely". |
| 01:27.41 | Wingnut | hmm...try plugging in the cable and start again |
| 01:27.46 | pmw | Yep, it worked. |
| 01:28.00 | pmw | It was still retrying as I plugged the cable in, so it instantly worked. |
| 01:28.27 | Wingnut | it's nice to have a packet hose connected to the board, otherwise throughput is limited |
| 01:33.49 | pmw | Have you encountered DHCP issues before? |
| 01:35.03 | Wingnut | what DHCP issues? |
| 01:35.37 | pmw | *** Unhandled DHCP Option in OFFER/ACK: 43 |
| 01:35.38 | pmw | *** Unhandled DHCP Option in OFFER/ACK: 44 |
| 01:35.38 | pmw | *** Unhandled DHCP Option in OFFER/ACK: 46 |
| 01:35.38 | pmw | *** Unhandled DHCP Option in OFFER/ACK: 43 |
| 01:35.38 | pmw | *** Unhandled DHCP Option in OFFER/ACK: 44 |
| 01:35.40 | pmw | *** Unhandled DHCP Option in OFFER/ACK: 46 |
| 01:36.04 | pmw | The first time I booted it, it ran fine. However, on subsequent board reboots -- regardless of the bootfile -- it does this. |
| 01:37.13 | pmw | And because HyperTerminal foregoes such concepts as sequential flow of text in the window, I cannot tell exactly what's going on. It appears that every time I press Enter, I get another screenful of these errors. |
| 01:38.00 | gram | ~lart hyperterminal |
| 01:38.05 | gram | hmm... |
| 01:38.16 | gram | ~lart microsoft & who wrote hyperterminal |
| 01:38.16 | pmw | That's highly insufficient. |
| 01:38.32 | kergoth | thats an awfully lame lart. |
| 01:38.45 | kergoth | ~bitchslap hyperterminal |
| 01:38.47 | jbot | ACTION beats the sh*t out of hyperterminal |
| 01:38.47 | gram | ~lart jbot |
| 01:39.45 | Wingnut | pmw: the board should not attempt to get an ip address through dhcp |
| 01:39.58 | pmw | Hrm. |
| 01:40.06 | pmw | Well, I touched no unauthorized environment variables. |
| 01:40.12 | Wingnut | and the dhcp client is not built into the kernel, so changing bootfiles should not affect DHCP |
| 01:40.37 | pmw | The `ipaddr` envvar is still set. |
| 01:42.06 | pmw | There goes; this time it worked. |
| 01:48.57 | pmw | Wingnut: What did you do to remove the root password from your root filesystem? |
| 02:09.32 | gram | pmw: set root's passwd to '', and his shell to /bin/sh |
| 02:09.35 | gram | ~lart pmw |

| 19:18.35 | mindfunk | ~DART |
| 19:19.20 | mindfunk | jbot: DART is Dallas Area Rapid Transit. See http://www.dart.org/ |
| 19:19.21 | jbot | mindfunk: okay |
| 19:19.24 | mindfunk | ~DART |
| 19:19.25 | jbot | dart is probably Dallas Area Rapid Transit. See http://www.dart.org/ |

| 19:56.24 | a-atwood | mindfunk: I don't think mickeysoft will dare get involved, directly. |
| 19:56.31 | Crofton | Bill gates will bail them out again |
| 19:58.42 | a-atwood | heh. Possibly, but he will have to use a front like he did last time. |
| 19:59.31 | a-atwood | MS wants to kill linux, so they come out with MS-BSD; initially just a re-packaging of Free-BSD. |
| 20:07.23 | mindfunk | ?? |
| 20:07.38 | a-atwood | mindfunk: just kidding! 8) |
| 20:07.51 | a-atwood | mindfunk: now clean your chair out. |
| 20:07.54 | mindfunk | there might be an infusion... but, I think that MS would be on thin ice |
| 20:08.48 | mindfunk | when sco falls apart, and it will, there are going to be criminal actions (according to ESR) |
| 20:09.19 | mindfunk | MS probably does not want to get invovled in all that because it will reopen the anti-trust scab |
| 20:10.22 | mindfunk | if sco and crew is found guilt of fraud and other crimes, and MS is known to be the only company paying large sums of money for things they don't use... |
| 20:10.39 | mindfunk | that could explode in their face |
| 20:11.23 | mindfunk | I think bruce perens compared IBM to Kaiser Sose from "the usual suspects" |
| 20:11.56 | mindfunk | "he kills you, your pets, your family, your family's pets, your friends, your friends pets, etc..." |
| 20:13.09 | a-atwood | mindfunk: aye, IBM holds a grudge well... |
| 20:13.42 | mindfunk | Although, MS might be willing to gamble if the republicans stay in the whitehouse, and consequently, the justice dept |

| 20:18.51 | mindfunk | a-atwood: sorry, um... pls note that the anti-trust case was quickly settled when asscruft took over the JD |
| 20:19.06 | mindfunk | it is not a secret why |
| 20:19.15 | mindfunk | gates will even indirectly admit that |
| 20:19.48 | a-atwood | mindfunk: plz note that the case wasn't about the really bad stuff that MS has done, and was just grinding on and on and on. |
| 20:20.19 | mindfunk | well... you tell yourself whatever you have to to make yourself feel better |
