Kernel Conf File For Kernel 2.6.24.4-yonggun, I've solution provided for cross compile Options

[radiochickenwax]

You need to modify the kernel .config file and recompile it:

CONFIG_CMDLINE="console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty1 noinitrd root=/dev/hda1 rootfstype=ext3 rootdelay=1 rw fbcon=rotate:1 dyntick=enable debug"

change root=<device you want to boot it at>

Thanks! but I still don't think I'm building for uBoot properly, since there is no "uImage" in "arch/arm/boot" despite the output

CODE

make uImage ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

gives

CODE

  Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready
  Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready
  UIMAGE  arch/arm/boot/uImage
/usr/bin/mkimage [OPTIONS]

Options:
-f <MD5 name>       Specify an input MD5 file. MD5s must be in jigdo's
                     pseudo-base64 format
-j <jigdo name>     Specify the input jigdo file
-t <template name>  Specify the input template file
-m <item=path>      Map <item> to <path> to find the files in the mirror
-M <missing name>   Rather than try to build the image, just check that
                     all the needed files are available. If any are missing,
                     list them in this file.
-v                  Make the output logging more verbose
-l <logfile>        Specify a logfile to append to.
                     If not specified, will log to stderr
-o <outfile>        Specify a file to write the ISO image to.
                     If not specified, will write to stdout
-q                  Quick mode. Don't check MD5sums. Dangerous!
-s <bytenum>        Start byte number; will start at 0 if not specified
-e <bytenum>        End byte number; will end at EOF if not specified
-z                  Don't attempt to rebuild the image; simply print its
                     size in bytes
  Image arch/arm/boot/uImage is ready

...so I think I'm using the wrong version of "mkimage"

Sorry I've not did any image for uboot... maybe you can ask 2or0. He is very helpful.

uboot is not stable... why not use sharp?

Sent him PM. Thanks again for your help this far, very useful info.

Because I would like to port debian to other pxa boards besides zaurus, and u-boot can help to do this. Unfortunately, I'm not very well versed with its mechanics, and I realize this probably isn't the thread for extensive u-boot discussion, although if I find a way to build the kernel for zaurus' u-boot, I think this is a reasonable place to put that info.

If you have "mkimage", just give a command as following:

CODE

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0xa0008000 -e 0xa0008000 -n "Linux 2.6" -d zImage kernel.img

CODE

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0xa0008000 -e 0xa0008000 -n "Linux 2.6" -d zImage kernel.img

Where do I get "mkimage"? I was trying the wrong one from the "jigdo" package. The right one seems to only come with u-boot which needs to be compiled specifically for zaurus?

I got it from pdaxrom stuff. I think any of them should work.

Sorry for being dense about this, but where can I find "mkimage" from pdaxrom stuff? I tried looking in the liveCD and the builder, but no luck.

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distri...axrom/download/


The closest thing I've found is

xchain-mkimage-u-boot.in
xchain-mkimage-u-boot.make
xchain-umkimage.make

from the builder, but this gives me:

"
copying i386-generic-glibc configuration
cp: cannot stat `config/i386-generic-glibc.ptxconfig': No such file or directory
make: *** [i386-generic-glibc_config] Error 1
"

when trying to run....

Thanks for all your help 2or0.

Could someone help me collect new patches towards a newer kernel?

I'm still running 2.6.24 and I don't know how to gather the relevant patches.

Thanks for all your help 2or0.

Could someone help me collect new patches towards a newer kernel?

I'm still running 2.6.24 and I don't know how to gather the relevant patches.

I'm also looking for patches for the new kernel versions.
The only relevant patch I found is this one (for 2.6.30).
http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/26927/
I haven't tried it yet.
Also here is a collection of pm-related patches which we might need:
