08:31.33joschkopf[g2]: still here? sorry, forgot to set me away... i'm running openslug 2.7 with 128MB at the moment, because debianslug only sees 32MB, i'm looking for the reason...

09:35.08joschkopfcan anyone help me with changing the kernel configuration? i made changes to openembedded/packages/linux/ixp4xx-kernel/2.6.15/defconfig , but they don't appear in /tmp/work/ixp4xx-kernel-2.6.15.2-r2.1/linux-2.6.15.2/.config

10:38.21NAiLjoschkopf: I think it's somewhere in the .bb or .inc (or the patches). It's not in the defconfig ;)
10:39.25NAiLlook in ixp4xx-kernel.inc, there's a lot about CMDLINE there
10:49.09NAiLCome to think of it, it might actually be in openembedded/conf/distro/ somewhere
11:09.30joschkopfnow i manually changed it in tmp/work, just to see if it works, and voila, i now have a 128MB-turbo-debianslug running :)
11:10.10NAiLniiiiiice :)
11:10.20joschkopfso i still have to search for the correct place for the command line to make it permanent
11:12.55joschkopfi also had some problems with apt-get and gpgv, but somehow, after changing the mirror to DE, they all went away...

12:21.41[g2]joschkopf are you running LE ?
12:22.00joschkopfright, le :)
12:23.39[g2]did you find the cmdline ?
12:24.00joschkopfi changed it direclty in .confing in the working directory
12:24.07joschkopfi did not yet find the correct place...
12:24.20joschkopfbut i just wanted to see if this is actually the problem
12:24.57[g2]what actual problem are you seeing ?
12:25.00joschkopfi have to say that i'm no python guru, so its difficult to understand the bb-things :)
12:25.24joschkopfi didn't get the 128MB ram on my fatslug, only 32 with slugos-le
12:25.35[g2]yeah my python-foo is weak too, but at least the .bb's are pretty readable
12:25.47joschkopfthe reason for this is, that slugos overwrites the command line, which it gets from apex
12:26.18joschkopfso i have to add "mem=128MB@0x000000" to the default kernel configuration
12:26.37joschkopfi changed it in den defconfig, but this doesn't help
12:26.41dyoung-away... or eliminate the mem= bit ?
12:26.51joschkopfhm, where?
12:27.18joschkopfi know how to configure the kernel on a normal system, but i don't (yet) understand how it is done in OE
12:30.08[g2]joschkopf yeah there's an overwrite of the kernel commad line for LE now
12:30.36[g2]I'll have to do a fresh pull to find where that stuff is
12:30.51[g2]joschkopf can you do me a favor
12:30.56joschkopfsure?
12:31.05[g2]apt-get install bonnie++
12:31.13[g2]and run bonnie on the hd
12:31.16joschkopfbonnie++ ?
12:31.19joschkopf:)
12:31.26[g2]it's a disk performance test
12:31.31joschkopfah, ok...
12:31.49[g2]I'm seeing errors on may 128M and 256M lofts
12:32.08joschkopfwhen running this test?
12:32.09dyoung-awayopenembedded/packages/linux/nslu2-kernel.inc ?
12:32.12[g2]I think it's related to the pci_indirect
12:32.35[g2]when I configure for 64MB on the same hw it works fine
12:33.34[g2]and all 3 of my unit exhibit the same issue, but only under lots of load
12:33.34joschkopfhow to run bonnie?
12:33.41[g2]bonnie++ :)
12:33.56[g2]man bonnie++ for a little description
12:33.57joschkopfah ok... i have to run with a different user
12:34.09[g2]yeah as a normal user
12:34.12joschkopfi hope it doesn't hurt anything... :-O
12:34.21joschkopfnow its writing something
12:34.47[g2]it's a nice teset
12:34.49[g2]test
12:35.07[g2]dyoung-away it's moved to the MAC list stuff iirc
12:35.39joschkopfok, ii'll be away for a minute, i'll tell you how the test ran in a minute
12:35.43[g2]dyoung-away I commented it out on my version of the Loft's CVS kernel stuff
12:36.03[g2]joschkopf are you aware of the kernel CVS repo ?
12:36.16joschkopfnope?
12:36.37[g2]it's the kernel trunk on the nslu project at sf.net
12:36.52joschkopfand the kernel development takes place there?
12:36.58[g2]you can just point your OE build tool chain and build just the kernel and modules
12:37.14[g2]it's the staging area for pushing stuff upstream
12:37.21joschkopfah, ok
12:37.38joschkopfso how does this help my problem?
12:37.48dyoung-awaythe CMDLINE is in the file I mentioned.
12:38.03[g2]it would be really long lived, but for you buliding kernels it'll make things a lot easier
12:38.18[g2]dyoung-away yes, but I think it's overwritten at runtime
12:39.09dyoung-awayon a nslu2?
12:39.18dyoung-awayI'm pretty sure thats what gets passed.
12:39.40dyoung-awayremember it works under openslug. but not debianslug for joschkopf
12:40.42[g2]dyoung-away I think jbowler switched the patching of the command line
12:40.52[g2]I know it was there for the Loft
12:40.56dyoung-awayok
12:41.02[g2]I had to undo those changes
12:41.05dyoung-awayI only got my builder working yesterday
12:41.16dyoung-awayit had been offline since november.
12:41.35[g2]94-loft-setup.patch
12:42.07[g2]dyoung-away you are absolutely correct that it was there for nearly 1.5 years :)
12:42.38dyoung-awayHmm
12:42.58dyoung-awayteh 91-foo series of patch doesnt do anything to with the mem= bit though.
12:43.31dyoung-awayheh in fact:
12:43.37dyoung-away+       /* The NSLU2 has one bank of 32MByte memory.
12:43.37dyoung-away+        * NOTE: to make a 'fatslug' work append the appropriate
12:43.38dyoung-away+        * mem= to the CONFIG_CMDLINE - this will override the
12:43.38dyoung-away+        * setting below.
12:44.25[g2]right it passes in the mem ATAG
12:45.47[g2]dyoung-away it's probably either nslu2-kernel.inc as you mentioned or ixp4xx-kernel.inc
12:48.40dyoung-awayyep, joschkopf lookit one of those. :-)

15:40.42kitno455it is very quiet some days
15:41.01kitno455until jbowler/nail show up especially
15:41.15kitno455how is initng
15:43.57VoodooZyeah. it seems most of the guys are working on the opposite shift.
15:44.26VoodooZI couldn't get initng to compile as it's looking for a FORTIFY_SOURCE define that doesn't exist.
15:44.35VoodooZProbably our GCC is too old?
15:44.45VoodooZI read it was a new feature of GCC.
15:45.59NAiL(just to "show up") :-P
15:46.10VoodooZheheh
15:46.18VoodooZAlways to have you around.
15:46.29VoodooZoops. insert "Good" after Always.
15:46.43NAiLhehe
15:47.09NAiLToday I'm not gonna do much though. Waiting for three feeds to build, which is gonna take a fair while
15:48.20VoodooZI noticed jbowler has been cranking out the checkins. Is the release closer than I though?
15:48.26kitno455you rebuilding entire feed?
15:48.38EvilDevilmorning kitno455
15:49.07joschkopfkami22: i did it with a normal soldering iron and a good magnifying glass
15:50.02kitno455EvilDevil, i suppose it is evening for you?
15:50.21joschkopffor desoldering, i first soldered a silver wire to each side of the old chip and then heated up this wire with the soldering iron, so all pins on one side got hot
15:50.34EvilDevilkitno455 4:50 pm
15:50.47joschkopfhere too 4:50pm :)
15:51.07VoodooZhere: 10:50am (EST canada)

15:51.26kitno455hmm, you guys dont use 24hr time in europe?
15:51.27VoodooZgmt-5
15:51.39kitno455VoodooZ, same here, EST US
15:51.55EvilDevilkitno455 we use 24hr time here... i just wanted to make it better readable for you :-P
15:52.02kitno455ahah
15:52.08kitno455i thought so
15:52.29kitno455i can convert. i can also use metric somewhat :)
15:52.54kitno455hmm- i dont seem to have dns resolution on my slug
15:53.06EvilDevilmetric is better anyway ;-)
15:54.38kitno455agreed on the metric
15:54.48kitno455at least as far as math goes
15:55.09EvilDevilit contains more logical components ;)

15:55.38kitno455logic- whats that? i am an american. we dont use logic :)
15:55.48VoodooZI'm totally metric.
15:55.59kitno455darn queer euros and their logic...
15:56.11EvilDevilkitno455 :-O
15:56.16VoodooZhehehe
15:56.30kitno455i have a complete set of metric and standard tools
15:56.39EvilDevilthere are only 10 people who understand binary... :-)
15:56.41kitno455it can be very expensive
15:56.49VoodooZFor engineering it makes so much more sense.
15:56.55kitno455no- there are only 10 kinds of people in the world
15:56.57NAiLVoodooZ: The release needs to be tested a bit, before we let it go. There has been a few issues that needed to be solved.
15:57.22VoodooZNAiL, cool. It's looking good. Let me know and I can be your guinea pig.
15:57.35EvilDevilwell.. enough conversation about metric
15:57.50NAiLkitno455: I'm currently building the openslug, debianslug and slugos-ltu feeds ;)
15:58.43kitno455yeah, you're making me jealous with all the base10 talk
15:58.46kami22VoodooZ: hi can you tell me with which soldering iron you did this?
15:59.30VoodooZkami22, euh? what are you refering to exactly? The fattening  thing? I didn't do it yet.
16:00.10joschkopfkami22: i actually used 2 different irons :)
16:00.35joschkopfi have a big one with i think 40watts, i used this for desoldering
16:00.48joschkopffor soldering the new chips i used a very small one with 10 watts only
16:00.55EvilDevili guess my 5 euro soldering iron wouldn't fit the requirements ;)
16:01.16kitno455wow- 5 euros? i pulled mine from a trashcan
16:01.32VoodooZI stole mine from my old job! oops! :)
16:01.38kami22i am using a ersa station to solder iron
16:02.20joschkopfi didn't buy ersa because i was too expensive :)
16:02.37joschkopfmine is "star tec"
16:03.34EvilDevilVoodooZ that reminds me of http://www.bash.org/?258908 ;-)
16:03.39VoodooZmine is one of those entry-level ones from a good company I can't remember the name.
16:03.59VoodooZI need to buy some tips for it though. It doesn't have temperature control unfortunately
16:04.45VoodooZhehehe
16:04.48EvilDeviltemperature control? mine is binary... cold or hot ;)
16:04.52kitno455ok- having trouble getting dns resolution to work on ucslugc built late yesterday HEAD
16:05.03VoodooZhehehe mine too. pretty much.
16:05.10VoodooZAh! I remember now. It's a Weller.
16:05.24kitno455old wellers are very nice
16:05.32NAiLkitno455: did you ipkg upgrade? That kills /etc/resolv.conf ;)
16:05.34VoodooZyep. It's old too! :)
16:05.47kitno455new wellers not so good, they got bought out iirc
16:05.59kitno455NAiL, /etc/resolv.conf looks goo
16:06.18kitno455NAiL, if i tcpdump on my dns server, i can see that it responds to slug
16:06.28NAiLah, so it's something else
16:06.40kitno455yeah- slug not like response?
16:07.23EvilDeviljoschkopf are you going to offer some slug-fattenig service? :-)
16:07.30joschkopfhehe
16:07.36EvilDevilin this case, i would be interested
16:07.38kitno455hmm- i can ping the host by ip, just can resolve it
16:07.48VoodooZMe too!
16:07.49joschkopfhm
16:07.51joschkopf:)
16:08.04VoodooZkitno455, do you have iptables running?
16:08.06joschkopfi don't think its worth sending the slug from us to germany and back :)
16:08.17VoodooZyeah. good point
16:08.18joschkopfbut evildevil, where are you exactly?
16:08.46EvilDeviljoschkopf rh-pf, near homburg/saar
16:08.59joschkopfah, here near stuttgart
16:09.32kami22can you tell me which size your tips has?
16:09.43kami22i hope this is the right word :)
16:10.16EvilDevildebianslug uses pretty much ram if you're running some standard servers (apache/smbd/proftpd) and some p2p clients :/
16:11.17joschkopfthat was the reason for the fattening :)
16:11.56joschkopfkami22: i'm not completely sure, but i think its a 0.5mm tip
16:12.16joschkopfthe one i used for desoldering is veeeery big, so no special requirements here
16:12.26*** part/#openslug Sinclair73de (n=icechat5@p54A26B98.dip.t-dialin.net)
16:12.42EvilDevilpretty small :/ my soldering iron has a 10mm tip :-/
16:13.27joschkopf10mm?!?!? are you soldering high voltage lines? :-O
16:14.19EvilDevilkind of ;) i needed to solder my own "kaltgerätestecker" to mulit outlet plug ;)
16:14.47kami22i think he is the guy how is stealing voltage from the 400 kV line near my town for his experiments :)
16:15.32joschkopfmaybe he is growing some plants in his basement :-P
16:15.43VoodooZhehehe
16:15.51kami22this must be really big plants
16:15.53kami22:)
16:16.01EvilDeviljoschkopf almost  :-P  http://www.patrickschneider.info/slugcastle.htm
16:16.04kitno455you dont need to connect to the kv line to steal power from it
