Re: [ARMedslack] Got a toshiba AC100

2011-07-15 Thread Davide
Ok I followed instructions from http://ac100.gudinna.com/README/ to get ubuntoo 
10.10 working off the SD.

I then mixed up an armedslack miniroot 13.1 (any higher would hit the udev 
kernel version requirement issue) with the kernel modules from ubuntu 10.10 for 
ac100 in an attempt to get a base system booting off the SD.

All looked right while starting to boot until I hit a kernel panic: attempting 
to kill init

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this or what's actually causing it ?

Having got as far as that I suppose the root got mounted. Init being the first 
binary to be executed I guess it's having some trouble: could it be something 
wrong with the console ?
I got very few messages on console while kernel was starting so I suppose ither 
kernel has been configured to be very quiet or the console is not where I'm 
looking. Could init kill itself if it finds nowhere to spraun getty for console 
?

Regards
David

Could you make some photos of the interesting error messages? If you do, don't 
attach them to the mail. Instead upload them to an image hoster.

Re: [ARMedslack] Got a toshiba AC100

2011-07-15 Thread Davide
To reduce possible faliures to a minimum I did the same with clashNG.
Maybe I did not look well enough the first time but this time I got for sure 
another intresting message before init killing itself:
Kernel too old

Don't think a picture is necessary for that.

Now I'm not 100% sure that I also had this on slackware 13.1 miniroot but since 
I use slackware 13.1 to build clashNG I'm strongly suspecting that I had the 
same message but did not notice it since it wan not on the last line.

Damn  

Anyone know what boot loader is on the AC100 ... maybe it's possible to have 
more then one kernel lingering around ?
Anyone know how to build kernel for the ac100 that will run armedslack ?

Regards
David

Take a look here:
http://people.canonical.com/~ogra/tegra/2.6.37/
and
https://launchpad.net/~ac100/+archive/ppa

Perhaps you'll find a working kernel there. Otherwise you should find newer 
kernel sources there and the config of the 2.6.29 kernel here:
http://ac100.gudinna.com/kernel/config.txt

You could use Codesourcery's toolchain to cross compile this kernel then. Make 
sure you are using the EABI toolchain.
You also could compile the kernel on a Dockstar or some other ARMed Slack 
system.

Re: [ARMedslack] Got a toshiba AC100

2011-07-15 Thread Davide
Thanks ... good info.

Can I have 2 kernels without having to hook up and reflash the original kernel ?
If I flash the new kernel into partition 5 I guess that the original andriod 
will stop working correctly. Since currently I guess it's the only thing that 
will make all onboard peripherals  work correctly it's something I don't want 
to do untill the open source kernel starts supporting everything.

Regards
David
