A few hours ago I pulled your 4995 diff and started building a RaqCop. Apart from prefetch failing to load the 2 .tar.gz files from raqcop.com (some http 406 error) and myself struggling with patch, all went smoothly. Before fixing^w attempting to narrow down the booting problem, I took a closer look at your modifications and thought I'd write something down for further discussion: - logoutput to /dev/tty12, no point to do that as there is no tty12 on a headless box. But this would apply to other headless boxes as well, would it not? Question: do we need/want logging on tty12 to start with, or can we drop that completely? Make some provisions in rc.sysinit to add/remove it? - update script for PCI/USB IDs, useful enough to have available for everybody? - LCD 'support', surely we can't make that fully universal (your LCD is smaller/bigger then mine ;-)), but we could make for some standard provisions to have at least some minimalistic output from our boot scripts. Then there are some rather specific RaQ patches, for which there are 3 options: 1) keep as is 2) create a branch in SVN (or revive the already existing 'build' branch) 3) attempt a full merge and something like cobalt setting in our .config file. Reasoning behind 2/3 to make interaction slightly easier, surely the RaQ might seem exotic, but I do have a personal interest (:-)) and I also think that making things work on a RaQ (same as for ALIX boards) is benificial for the IPCop project. Not because of the millions of additional users, but simply because the RaQ/ALIX are not that far away from your typical IPCop box. Opinions, thoughts, anyone? Olaf |
