Re: [Angstrom-devel] Collie, RC1.2+, SD, Mentoring
Hi, I still don't have a linux machine available (Maybe vendors repair broken suff in taiwan or so), but I will buy an external disk, install linux on it and boot my parents windows PC from it. Then I will port my patches to a recent kernel. Any version preferences? The suspend/resume stuff also needs some work.

Collie oopses on boot with current kernel, there is a bug somewhere in bugzilla for it AFAIR.

SD Support - currently the RC images being built for collie are using the 2.6.21 kernel, which does not yet have the locomo_spi changes ported to it. I believe Thomas is planning to work on this but he has limited resources at the moment. ( http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2647 ) This makes me wonder... a) should collie images be built with 2.6.20, given that SD works on that kernel? If not, what other options do we have to try and get some working collie images out there? (particularly pertinent given that the old images that did work have been cleaned out of unstable). If SD really is broken on .21 and won't get fixed the next few days, we should wind back the kernel to .20 and clear .21 from the feeds. b) should bug 2647 be marked as critical or stopper, given that collie without SD is arguably not useful as a pda - or should it not since holding back to 2.6.20 works around it? Currently it's severity normal. If the SD slot doesn't work in images, collie won't make it into the release. c) Could the community use an unreliable collie mentor/tester? I think collie can use all the help it can get, IIRC Jake volunteered to be a reliable mentor, so coordinate with him to see what's on the TODO, etc. If any of you have a solution but lack the knowledge to create a patch, don't be afraid to ask help on this list. regards, Koen ___ Angstrom-distro-devel mailing list Angstrom-distro-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-devel -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHaY+JtXjjJ1zu9YARAonKAJ9I9cGydVBiTXQLqDzrGsEsuUG/gwCfYr3V EQtfersq7UKh9NWzhRwOCko= =lNam -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Angstrom-distro-devel mailing list Angstrom-distro-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-devel

However, you can interrupt it at altboot, so the kernel is certainly booting all the way through, it's something in userspace that is causing that issue. I tried reverting to .20 for kernel, using the new images, and that didn't do anything. I'm not sure as to what's causing the error. Ooh... where did you get the .20 kernel from? Is it one of the ones in autobuild? They aren't tagged with any info further than build date so I've no idea what they are. Like I said, I haven't doing that much, because I didn't know the status. I've been assuming that collie won't be supported in the next release, because of a number of issues. Am I mistaken? I hope so! :-) The fact that we have had a working 2.6 with SD at all was a major acheivement, something that we all thought would be in all likelyhood, forever impossible just a year or two ago. I would certainly like to see the 5x00 Zaurii become a supported Angstrom device, and I think there are a few more of us around still. Assuming they stand up to the rigours of time, these devices are also going to start showing up in the hands of some people who can't afford a fancy new pda (or full PC for whatever reason) so having a modern, supported system for them to install and use is going to be a great thing for the future of Angstrom as well.
