hello bruno, welcome back ;-)
2010/2/13 Bruno Randolf <b...@thinktube.com>: > hello! > > trying to use todays openwrt trunk on a soekris net4826 i ran into the > following problems: > > 1) the default kernel 2.6.31.12 does not boot (system continually reboots) and > does not show any output on the serial console. i updated to kernel 2.6.32.8, > which works better, but: i remember this issue on soekris as well, when i tested on soekris ne45xx versions, so i was using ext2 filesystems on compact flash cards. i do not have 48xx soekris, they have an newer amd geode i only have 45xx and they have amd elan. > > 2) target/linux/x86/patches-2.6.32/300-block2mtd_init.patch causes the kernel > (now 2.6.32.8) to oops. i can boot into a block2mtd device without it, so i > think it can be removed. maybe this was used / needed on an older kernel version, i think not so many people are using soekris anymore, so it was just forgotten to test again. > > 3) we have the issue of the "console" entry in grub menu.lst. it makes grub > really slow on the soekris boards. this is also mentioned in: > yes this issue is an old bug, still alive ;-) you can get rid of the entry "console" in target/linux/x86/image/menu.lst the seial bausrate is defined in ./target/linux/x86/image/Config.in as war as i remember. > https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/4753 > https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/2421 > http://firmware.leipzig.freifunk.net/kamikaze/_patches/x86-soekris-net4801- > grub-serial.patch > > other x86_generic platforms need the "console" options, so how can we change > this conditionally based on Profile/net48xx? > > 4) serial speed should be 19200 by default, since this is the default setting > of the bios. same here, this should probably be defaulted based on the > profile. > > if you can tell me how to check for a profile in the image/Makefile i'll send > in a patch... if you check target x86 and subtarget generic, then you can choose alix wrap and soekris 45xx and 48xx boards. they are defined in ./target/linux/x86/generic/profiles/ bye ulf > > bruno > _______________________________________________ > openwrt-devel mailing list > openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org > https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel > _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
