dmesg please!

[lardman]

Could we have a copy of the post-boot dmesg for the device please. Pretty please!

And a list of the modules too please! :)

Thanks

[fanoush]

Did I miss something or we still don't have this? Anyone with N900 in hand? qole, qwerty12, lcuk, ... qgil ... anyone?

frals: btw, has anyone posted dmesg output yet or is that nda-material until release? :p 12:32
johnx: which is funny, because I sware quim told me I should run dmesg on the "dev" unit at danish weekend :) 12:33
frals: someone should head over the flagship stores and get the dmesg output ;) 12:34

Pretty sure that those who have the device are under NDA and cannot provide them.. and there's also the issue that they would most likely have prototypes that may or may not have the final hardware in it anyways.

Patience, guys... and yes, I'm very aware of how hard it is to be patient these days. ;)

Ok, could be for those who have them for longer time but I hardly believe demo units handed to people at Nokia summit needed NDA before playing with it

and there's also the issue that they would most likely have prototypes that may or may not have the final hardware in it anyways.

ditto. early units maybe but recent demo units hardly

Patience, guys

no problem, just seemed unlikely to me that they still want to hide this information considering how much it is promoted now

qwerty12

Sorry, I got mine recently and Nokia wouldn't take kindly to me sharing that information due to the NDA.

S7 protocols. You are not authorized to communicate with us... except to tell us that you cannot communicate with us. And then Bumblebee leeks lubricants on your head.

[ruskie]

When I played with the proto at the nokia store I forgot to check all that stuff... Just liked it so much...

this is the dmesg of the preproduction n900 device I received at the maemo summit in Amsterdam.

[andree]

nice stuff - the dmesg... :)

twl4030 is obviously used at least for keyboard, rtc, leds and vibrator... it could be used for a whole lot of other things - http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbugencontent.tsp?DCMP=WTBU&HQS=ProductBulletin+OT+twl4030&contentId=4634&templateId=6123 :-)

could you also post output of 'lsusb -v'?

[solideogloria]

Thank you!


[ 2.871612] UBI: MTD device name: "rootfs"
[ 2.871673] UBI: MTD device size: 251 MiB

I suppose the limited rootfs size will be fixed in the production device...

is there any other useful information in it?

I don't wish to seem ungrateful (because I'm not), but is that missing a chunk of the early boot messages from the beginning?

Thank you!

There's no problem to fix. That is the correct size for the rootfs, and you do have 2GB in /opt for programs to install stuff there. :)

will do so tomorrow, when i can use wifi at my work (my dataplan is not enabled yet).

btw, here is uname -a:

it also looked weird to me, but that's how it starts, really

[allnameswereout]

Hmm strange

[ 51.111083] warning: `dnsmasq' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)I thought everything was 32 bit on ARM.

Someone please try /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 mode master and see the outcome.

Do we know what happens to the space on an add-in micro-SD card? Can that (easily) be used for app installs?

[fanoush]

There is a limited buffer inside kernel for kernel messages. Could be useful to put dmesg >/tmp/dmesg.txt as early in boot sequence as possible (like /etc/init.d/rcS or something or even /linuxrc if it exists). Or recompile kernel with bigger buffer (increase CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT) :-)

[pycage]

Yes, format the SD card with ext3 fs and have the /opt symlink point to its mountpoint.

[allnameswereout]

Is there a /var/log/dmesg ? If not, syslogd can be told to maintain one.

[tso]

would lsusb work?

i see the kernel locates a usb hub...

[lma]

I thought everything was 32 bit on ARM.


Nothing to do with processor architeture, this refers to the kernel capability bitmap which was extended (http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0710.1/2823.html) from 32 to 64 bits a couple of years ago.

[dieter_be]

nothing to be found in /var/log.

lsusb -v: http://pastebin.ca/1615184

Btw, there was a short talk at the summit about the hardware in the n900 and powersaving features. See http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_Summit_2009/Lightning_talks#N900_HW_architecture_overview_.26_ power_management

All talks were taped so I guess the video will be online soon.

[tso]

hmm, a 1 port hub, and the hub status is "power"...

[daperl]

Thanks for this. Can you please post the output of the following:

df
cat /proc/mounts

Thanks again.

[daperl]

Also, if it wouldn't be too much trouble, can you post the output of:

hal-device

[Jed]

That lsusb output gives me hope for eventual host mode.

If the only thing configuring that one port to be a 'power' port is software, then host mode is within hack reach.
