Re: Regarding Kirkwood cpu support

2009-03-11 Thread Stuart Winter

  Yes, it will be in 2.6.30.  Marvell has their own git tree at
  http://git.marvell.com/?p=orion.git;a=shortlog;h=combined
  and they typically submit their patches very quickly.

 Note that the support for the CPU itself and most of the peripherals
 has been in kernel.org since 2.6.27 or so -- the scheduled-for-2.6.30
 additions are only a (small) board support file and the SDIO driver.

I saw the Kirkwood support, but I've been bitten before by the Castle
Iyonix which is now an expensive ornament, because its patches never
made it upstream.

Thanks guys, that's great news!

 For the record, I received a SheevaPlug yesterday and this will be my

I am looking forward very much to reading this Martin.  The SheevaPlug
looks like an interesting device and the documentation available for
download seems quite comprehensive.

  Can you run
sh -x oldsys-preseed

 For the record, we identified the problem (with the help of John
 Bowler) and the problem is fixed in oldsys-preseed 3.5.  There was a
 problem parsing the empty SysConf partition of an uninitalized NSLU2.

Thanks for getting it fixed.

Also, for the record, I cannot prove that I hadn't erased the SysConf
partition.  That particular slug is the only one that I have that has
a blank SysConf partition.  I would have expected at least one other
to have a blank SysConf partition since I have always installed Debian
straight-away.

Cheers.

Repository help.

2009-03-11 Thread Victor Padro
I have seen many How to's regarding Local Repositories, but I don't know if
it covers all architectures including ARM.

What I'm trying to do is to setup a Server on my network which will have a
local repo for my two NSLU2 and maybe if it's not
too big(40GBs the actual size of the HHD) will hold also repos for AMD64 and
i386 Arch.
Why?  because I have only one ADSL 1Mb link on the network, and sometimes
there's so much trafic and the NSLU2s can't be upgraded or even updated.

Is there any documentation you guys can point me to?
How can I set a local repo just for ARM/AMD64 and i386?


TIA.
