freemangordonthanks a lot man!08:16
alex1216Greetings. I'm thinking of transplanting my existing instance of Fremantle to the SD card (in order to minimize wear of the on-SoC flash) and booting it like Leste. Has someone already done this? Will this need something more than dumping the root and kernel, making a config for U-Boot by pali and editing the fstab? Are there any known packages20:32
alex1216having device paths hardcoded?20:32
PaliIn past I was using this setup...20:33
PaliAFAIK nothing special was needed (or not with cssu at that time)20:35
PaliAnd I think I was also using setup without u-boot, just with bootmenu package (it did chroot into sd card fs), so it used same kernel version20:37
PaliHm... I think it was not SD card, but eMMC... but I guess for this setup it is same (just different number for /dev/mmc<num>)20:38
alex1216Hmm... May CSSU-related challenges apply to the CSSU installation/update procedure, or it may be considered kinda safe if the instance to be dumped does already have CSSU installed to it?20:39
PaliNow my n900 is using standard setup (so onenand + eMMC)20:39
PaliI think it should be safe.20:39
PaliI do not remember anything which should cause issues20:40
PaliI think that it is just needed to ensure that /opt or /home/opt (do not remember) is mounted somehow (do some mount --bind to something20:41
PaliSomething in the boot process is mounting /opt or /home/opt. So search for it and make it compatible.20:42
freemangordonalex1216: I doubt you will have issues with onenand20:42
freemangordonI used my old device for 9? years before keys started to fall apart and upper part of digitizer to beahve20:43
freemangordonI am still using the same device (with replaced kbd) as my dev n90020:43
freemangordonPali: hi! long time no see :)20:43
alex1216freemangordon: I've already been having challenges looking for battery replacements, thus thinking of a way of guaranteeingĀ that there would be no data buried at onenand or eMMC if another battery replacement will be more challenging next time.20:45
freemangordonI see20:46
alex1216BTW, can the unconfigured kernel-power be more power-consuming than the stock one?20:46
freemangordonup to you ofc20:46
freemangordonshoudl nto be20:46
freemangordonwe did our best unconfigured KP to behave exactly as stock one20:47
freemangordonIIRC20:47
Palialex1216: here is my old post how to do it with bootmenu without u-boot: https://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=930141&postcount=13920:47
Palibootmenu package has description in the post: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=7472020:48
alex1216Just have made sure that the stock kernel menu option does actually refer to the stock one (was in doubt after installing u-boot-flasher with kernel-power already in NAND), so will see... Not sure it's about the kernel, but it's better about it or daemons, than about an accident.20:54
alex1216about the consequences of an accident*20:54
