| stekern | olofk: it doesn't, presumable because unzipping takes a lot of time | 06:51 |
|---|---|---|
| stekern | olofk: building busybox isn't hard though, but I don't think we have instructions anywhere else | 06:52 |
| stekern | it's a bit of a hassle to build together with musl though, since busybox uses the kernel headers in a broken way (IIRC) | 06:53 |
| olofk | I'll probably use newlib. Is that less problematic? | 09:37 |
| olofk | stekern: Regarding gzip. I noticed the problem since the kernel panics on boot. How can I compress my initramfs in another way? | 09:38 |
| olofk | Just a standard make defconfig && make gives me an unbootable kernel | 09:38 |
| olofk | mmap is awesome! I'm never going to use a device driver again. Just mmap the whole address space and kick some registers | 10:07 |
| stekern | unbootable where? | 11:23 |
| olofk | stekern: unbootable because it can't unpack the initramfs | 11:48 |
| stekern | but why is it packed? | 12:37 |
| olofk | stekern: How the fuck should I know? I just did make defconfig and make with the latest head from openrisc/linux | 16:25 |
| olofk | I took a quick look also, and couldn't find any obvious place to control how initramfs is compressed. It seems a bit braindead to be able to compress it with an algorithm that it cannot unpack again | 16:27 |
| stekern | hmm... lemme check... | 18:02 |
| stekern | olofk: you were right btw, book of unwritten tales was a great game, even though you could die at one point | 18:03 |
| stekern | olofk: yeah, I see the same thing... must have came with the 3.19 merge | 18:27 |
| stekern | ok, I found the source of the problem. | 18:35 |
| stekern | https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ec72c666fb345ea5f21359b7bc063710ce558e39 | 18:37 |
| stekern | changes the default to 'y' on all compression methods | 18:37 |
| stekern | and we were only 'n'ing on gzip, so all others become selected | 18:37 |
| stekern | and then there's obviously this problem in play too: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/2/669 | 18:38 |
| stekern | olofk: I changed the or1ksim_defconfig to not include any compression now | 20:49 |
