I don't think this will happen in order to scratch this pretty unusual itch.

One way you can solve it for yourself is by rewriting (with dd) the
first sector that contains the partition table and rebooting.  So you
can have two views on to the rest of the storage exposing just the
partitions you want in each view.  That'd get you 14 partitions and the
ability to share eg /home between the two views and so all OSes.

rework

2009-03-10 Thread Petr Vanek
hi,

i was lucky enough to get someone to perform the gsm buzz rework.

i find the images used in the
http://people.openmoko.org/joerg/GSM_EMI_noise/big-C_rework_SOP_rc2.pdf
quite rather _small_ therefore please find some of my pictures done via
microscope here: http://vanous.penguin.cz/files/om/SOP/

Please feel free to use them to improve your manual.

Also, we found that placing the 100uF cap according to the manual is
rather strange and could cause problems in future - so we placed the
cap in a way that is will be soldered to the PCB on both ends, making
it hold really tight (that particular picture is somewhat blurry)

We didn't have 2k2 in 0402 size so we used 2x 80Ohm in series (we just
built a A shape with them).

The fix works - done on two units, one showed gsm buzz before and now
it's gone.

Some of the other pictures show D4301, D4302, as under the microscope we
found one of them damaged from manufacturing - placing the cover -
something om might watch for.

cheers
petr

 ...
 I'm a lazy boy so i really want to have all the distro on tha uSD, also
 some testing version and so on ;D

 I'll try to make some changes to that driver..

If you set MMC_SHIFT to 4, you'll get up to 16 partitions per card,
but otoh you reduce the number of minor devices that this driver can
handle. It's better to simply set MMC_NUM_MINORS to the number of
minors you'd like (64?) instead of the 256  MMC_SHIFT.

 For roaming you need different directives in /etc/network/interfaces
 and an additional program (ifplugd). I made a few tries in the old
 shr-testing with not much success so far. I'll try again when I'm done
 flashing and configuring the new shr-testing with 2.6.28 kernel.

ifplugd isn't necessary if you're using wpa_supplicant.

Is there a git hash associated with this 2.6.28 kernel at all?

Re: [FSO 5.1] WSOD on resume

2009-03-10 Thread Petr Vanek
when speaking of wsod i just wanna say - when i play with my menu
kernel + initrd image which is rather big (5-7MB), there are occasions
where i get wsod all the time after boot (i used to suffer it a lot
during normal operation but not anymore after Andy's fixes). I can
correct this [only] by regenerating and reflashing my kernel image
(./build GTA02; dfu-...). I could not see any pattern, unfortunately. I
also don't have any of the bad kernel images anymore, but when i hit on
one again, i can keep it... - could this be kernel size related somehow?

 uImage-2.6.28-oe1+gitr34240a1c06ae36180dee695aa25bbae869b2aa26-r3-om-gta02.bin

 Well it's from Jan 5th.

 If you're feeling adventurous (you can back out using that uImage
 anyway) try this kernel

 http://people.openmoko.org/andy/uImage-moredrivers-GTA02_andy-tracking-15ca3dafb2662db4.bin

That fixes it for me! Thanks.

It gives me a few error messages on boot. Would you like me to post them?

Regards

Jeff
