17:01.08beewoolie-afkprpplague: yo
17:01.11beewoolie-afk[g2]: yo
17:01.28[g2]beewoolie-afk, hey!
17:01.39[g2]what's up ?
17:01.52beewoolie-afk[g2]: so, did jbowler find a solution to the restart problem?
17:02.09[g2]think so
17:02.18[g2]more jbowler-zzz than me :)
17:02.40beewoolie-afkDo you know what was the problem/
17:02.41beewoolie-afk?
17:02.51[g2]it's what you had suggested about the flash not being in the right mode
17:03.37beewoolie-afkHmm.  Cool.
17:03.41beewoolie-afk~praise jbowler-zzz
17:03.41purlAll hail jbowler-zzz!
17:03.45prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: hey hey
17:03.48prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: what up?
17:04.09beewoolie-afkprpplague: I spent a bunch of time on the LCD.  It looks like the panel is sloppy
17:04.19prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: ahh
17:04.29[g2]so a 2.3-beta release is getting ready that has that plus the noirqdebug command line to disable those messages
17:04.30beewoolie-afkIt doesn't display green well and there are lines between 'cells' of pels
17:04.36prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: i'm sorry, i didn't have much time to spend on it
17:04.40beewoolie-afk[g2]: Excellent!
17:04.53beewoolie-afkNP.  I just wanted to know if I was being crazy
17:05.01[g2]beewoolie-afk, I'd like to try that rootdelay option too
17:05.12beewoolie-afkIt turns out that I was already using the right PEL_CLOCK value.
17:05.22beewoolie-afk[g2]: What is rootdelay?
17:05.48[g2]after 2.6.11 they added a specific option in the kernel to delay loading the rootfs
17:06.11[g2]Jacmet used it in booting debian LE on his slug
17:06.44[g2]I think we can change the kernel to include ext2/3 and then boot directly to the external device
17:07.10beewoolie-afkI'm not making the connection.  How does delaying mounting of the rootfs help?
17:07.12[g2]rootfs=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=5
17:07.47[g2]because the device like USB isn't fully initialized before it trys to mount it
17:08.06beewoolie-afkHmm.  That sounds like a hack.
17:08.18[g2]it's a timing problem
17:08.30[g2]and it's mainline kernel code
17:08.42beewoolie-afkright.  And adding a delay is a non-deterministic solution.
17:09.08[g2]I didn't say it was a great solution :)
17:09.17beewoolie-afkOK.  I get it now.
17:09.36[g2]about a year or two ago I run into the problem trying to boot my desktop to usb flash
17:09.59[g2]the linuxrc ran by hand but not by itself
17:10.21[g2]a sleep cured it
17:21.46TierstenThey have a similar problem with LinuxBIOS and HDs
17:22.07TierstenIt boots so fast that the drives haven't finished init and it fails.  Put in a little delay and its fine
