Wouldn't backups be a good answer here ?

I'm not familiar with ZFS on Linux, but on Solaris it requires an great amount of RAM to run properly (at the very least a few gigs). I would not use it on the B3 given the low RAM amount and limited CPU power. Maybe btrfs would be better choice, or stick with lvm.

Did you try :

Code: Select all

make arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o

What I don't understand here is the sentence 'I suggest you remove the kernel package' If your custom kernel works as expected you should remove the kernel package because it conflicts with your files (the /boot/uImage file). That's my advice but it's not necessary ; however it will prevent some pa...

If you build directly on your b2 (or your b3) do not define the ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE environment variables. The steps are very similar between the b2 and the b3 ; the configuration file is obviously different and the uImage will be inside arch/arm/boot for the b3 and arch/powerpc/boot for the b2. ...

You don't need to load an alternate config file ; just follow the steps in my post above and forget about the wiki page (except the part 'Installing the compilation tools' to install necessary tools).

Hi, As Gordon said the package is meant to be built with debian tools. Besides the wiki page needs a serious refresh. Here are some detailed instructions for quickly rebuilding the kernel : The instructions provided below applies only to this specific version (3.2.62-1). I will update the wiki page ...

You shouldn't try to build the kernel from master branches in git because the repositories are probably broken for now. You should download the 3.2.62-1 tagged source from here : community-b3-kernel-debian-1-3.2.62-1.tar.gz untar and then follow the instruction on the wiki from 'Customizing the kern...

I cannot answer on the technical side but Rodeus intends to maintain the easyfind service for the b3. We are still in the transition process though.

We are working on bringing the hotfix server back online (it has been shut down on 15th december due to the bankruptcy). Hopefully it should be back online next week. It took a little bit longer than expected but the original excito hotfix server is finally back online. I didn't have time to test i...

Is there something, that shows that a write to flash has happend. Or is the output the same as for me, just that my flash is never written to? The write operations are silent. Can you try a manual flash from u-boot ? This is the content of such a session : U-Boot 2010.06 (Jun 10 2011 - 09:06:51) BU...

Well after a few hours I didn't manage to compile gcc3 on the b3. I think it would be simplier to change firebird source to compile with modern gcc.

Just did the test on my b3 and indeed it just sits here because the configuration does not reset the board after the flash procedure. Just type reset and see wether the flash was successful or not.

I have mine now so it's OK !

I'm looking into it right now directly on a b3, but compilation times are soooo sllooooww ...
