musikgoat|work: mindbender, were you able to cross-compile that lspro kernel? [03:24] jonli447: unlink, to create the image, likely ... I know it was documented in the forums [03:24] jonli447: I'm not sure if the info was wikified [03:25] mindbender: not with ubuntu 7.04. i haven`t tried today..was busy. [03:25] mindbender: it never was wikified. [03:25] bbradley: jonli447 I have had about 30 5-minute intervals of work between the watchdog timer being reset today [03:25] bbradley: every time the red light would flash [03:25] mindbender: i have started 2 or 3 threads in the past regarding a "how to install debian from scratch" wiki post [03:26] bbradley: don't see why it wouldn't during the xfs problems if it was the watchdog timer [03:26] mindbender: but we never got enough info [03:26] jonli447: could just be a scsi error [03:26] jonli447: mindbender, step 1: [03:26] jonli447: get a cross compiler [03:26] jonli447: i.e. for arm9 qemu [03:27] jonli447: (arg, step one, install debian on a workstation, or a server) [03:28] jonli447: step.1.5, cross-compiler, unless the workstation/box is the same arch as the arch you're trying to debootstrap for [03:28] jonli447: step 2, install debootstrap , i.e. apt-get install debootstrap [03:28] jonli447: step 3, create a debootstrap dir [03:29] mindbender: then? [03:29] mindbender: chroot involved? [03:29] jonli447: step 4, run "debootstrap --arch [03:29] jonli447: oops, wrong tag order [03:30] jonli447: step 4, run "debootstrap --arch [03:30] jonli447: debootstrap automatically will chroot, and install everything [03:31] flavoie (n=icechat5@76-10-148-17.dsl.teksavvy.com) has joined [03:31] bbradley: does that work if debootstrap is run on a different arch to the target? [03:31] jonli447: step 5, add required/missing scripts, i.e. miconapl micro_evtd [03:31] ChanServ enables 'Op' status for flavoie [03:31] jonli447: bbradley, yes, if you have the proper cross-libs installed [03:31] jonli447: i.e. if you install the gcc-4.2-linux-arm-gnueabi cross compiler, the debian one, not codesourcery [03:31] jonli447: you can also do this ... [03:31] bbradley: ah, I assumed it wouldn't [03:32] bbradley: many hours of switching disks between linkstation and server wated [03:32] bbradley: wasted* [03:32] jonli447: download the .deb packages you want [03:32] jonli447: i.e. gcc-4.2-linux-arm-gnueabi directly [03:32] jonli447: i.e. the arm packages [03:32] flavoie enables 'Op' status for kuroguy [03:32] jonli447: not the crosstools [03:33] jonli447: and then run dpkg-cross -i [03:33] jonli447: and the package will be installed as a cross-compile package [03:33] bbradley: wow, I'll have to try that [03:33] bbradley: made such a bodge of getting the armel port installed today [03:33] jonli447: and if you have everything right, qemu should interpret it invisibly [03:34] jonli447: and you'll actually be able to run arm binaries on a x86 machine [03:34] jonli447: and thus chroot [03:34] unlink: nslu2 is the same arch as ls pro, right? [03:34] bbradley: yeah, qemu is the next challenge, for me it just seems to sit there doing nothing and using 100% cpu [03:34] jonli447: I have qemu working [03:35] jonli447: just don't have the proper gcc-4.2-linux-arm-gnueabi package [03:35] jonli447: it's missing, though it's defined in the sid repos [03:35] bbradley: yeah I've noticed a lot of those [03:35] bbradley: libtool was the biggest blocker today [03:36] jonli447: step-6 tar up the debootstrap dir [03:36] flavoie: unlink - no [03:36] jonli447: and make sure to preserve permissions [03:36] jonli447: that's it [03:36] flavoie: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Info/CPUOverview [03:36] jonli447: of course test it [03:36] jonli447: mindbender, that's the jist of what I and lb_worm have posted about it [03:37] jonli447: bbradley, do you have all you need for an armel rootfs? [03:37] jonli447: or are too many packages broken?
