[09:27] <lool> Excellent http://fl0rian.wordpress.com/2009/03/29/a-smart-beaglebrick/

[10:48] <ogra> lool, cute !
[10:49] <lool> ogra: Hey you know that exec -s issue?
[10:49] <lool> ogra: It was really what I suspected
[10:49] <ogra> ??
[10:49] <lool> That config for ramdisk size was too small, even after bumping it
[10:50] <lool> By 72192 bytes!
[10:50] <ogra> so you have solved the need for -s ?
[10:50] <lool> ogra: Not 100% confirmed, but I found the bug which caused the error message during RAMDISK unpacking
[10:50] <lool> (the ENOSPC)
[10:50] <ogra> ah
[10:51] <ogra> i still think that redboot is in our way
[10:51] <lool> In fact I had solved it when I asked for bumping that config, but we didn't bump it enough for the cheer size of our initrds
[10:51] <lool> I don't think redboot matters
[10:51] <lool> You can load an initrd without -r/-s
[10:51] <ogra> with the patched redboot ?
[10:51] <lool> No; with kernel cmdline args
[10:51] <ogra> i thought with our version it was mandatory
[10:51] <lool> But I prefer using ATAG personally, more elegant IMO
[10:51] <ogra> indeed
[10:52] <lool> It's mandatory for the ATAG ramdisk thingy to be passed; but you can also tell the kernel "BTW there's an initrd at this random addres"
[10:52] <ogra> hmm
[10:54] <lool> Anyway, I prefer encoding this in the redboot bootscript's commands rather than the cmdline; the former doesn't require encoding the size of RAM or the addresses
[10:54] <lool> (physicaladdresses)
[10:54] <ogra> yup

[21:13] <strk> does anyone have any idea why htons should return 'unsigned int' in ubuntu-arm ?
[21:14] <strk> ref: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?26051
[21:31] <suihkulokki> strk: #include <arpa/inet.h>
[21:31] <suihkulokki> perhaps you'r missing that?
[21:32] <strk> I tried that, didn't help
[21:36] <suihkulokki> http://paste.debian.net/31967/
[21:39] <strk> g++ mentioned "unsigned int", btw
[21:40] <strk> which isn't what the compiler thinks an undefined function returns, right ?
[21:40] <strk> that'd be 'int'
[21:51] <strk> maybe is a jaunty-specific bug
[21:55] <strk> g++ complains on reinterpret_cast: error: invalid cast from type 'unsigned int' to type 'uint16_t'
[21:56] <strk> oh-ha
[21:58] <strk> http://rafb.net/p/JeNuNd73.html
[21:58] <strk> test.cpp:7: error: invalid cast from type 'uint16_t' to type 'uint16_t' (!!!!)
[22:00] <suihkulokki> haha
[22:00] <suihkulokki> I'm happy I don't deal with c++ usually
[22:29] <strk> found it !
[22:29] <strk> it's -O2 !!!
[22:29] <strk> g++ (Ubuntu 4.3.2-2ubuntu11) 4.3.3 20090111 (prerelease)
[22:31] <strk> -O2 makes that short into an int
[22:33] <strk> remains a short with g++ (Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu12) 4.3.2
