RE: [maemo-developers] How large may the kernel-image be?
Hi, as mentioned by Kalle below, kernel needs to be compiled with gcc 3.4. Also, in your earlier post you mentioned maemo 1.0 scratchbox. Does this mean you have maemo 1.1 installed, or what? In order to be able to compile the kernel successfully, you need maemo 1.1, and preferably the latest 0.9.8 series Scratchbox (0.9.8.5 is the one kernel recompilation has been tested with, but 0.9.8.6 should work as well). You should definitely take a look at the Kernel Compilation HowTo, available here: http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowTo_KernelCompilation. This piece of documentation describes the necessary setup and recompilation procedure.

Somewhere in the docs 3.4 was mentioned but my scratchbox/ARM installation ships with gcc-3.3.4. Since it boots almost completly up I can't really imagine whats wrong or missing - maybe it can't insert modules it needs to startup X or something like that. Often the reboot cycle is from some application deemed as Truly Needed(tm) dying (at which point the failsafe mechanism boots). Without dedicated devices the recovery could be tricky, but one can try with setting the 'no-lifeguard-reset' rd flag[1] with flasher and praying it will boot up to having a GUI (or if installed, sshd) available for debugging. AFAIK, you need to use gcc3.4, I've succesfully compiled a kernel for the 770 with the arm-linux-gcc3.4.cs-glibc2.3 toolchain (with wlan working etc), so it indeed could be that the kernel fails to load some modules and someone gets confused over it.

RE: [maemo-developers] How large may the kernel-image be?
Oh my, FC4... Now I understand. ;-) Hate to say this, but you're pretty much on your own when it comes to Scratchbox on FC3/4 boxes. You should seriously consider a Debian -based system if you want to do serious Maemo hacking. The requirement for the kernel how-to is a working maemo 1.1 installation. I honestly wouldn't bet any money on getting a working kernel compiled with maemo 1.0, FC3/4 and a kernel image which is part of maemo 1.1. But, good luck, if this is the way you want to go ;-) Regards, - Pete - -Original Message- From: Clemens Eisserer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue 2/28/2006 11:28 AM To: Hagg Peter; maemo-developers@maemo.org Subject: Re: [maemo-developers] How large may the kernel-image be?

The problem is, in both cases the kernel works, the system starts loading and just before the actual start it hangs and after a while the device restarts.

It looks like you are suggesting to put everything in kernel because modules cannot be compiled. Modules _can_ be compiled and _do_ work and IMHO using modules is better way for adding functionality then introducing bloat into kernel and possibly bricking device (flashing an oversized kernel image renders the device useless). Also you can tell power users to install modules for your SW if it is needed but you can hardly expect them to flash your kernel with your specific setup. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
