Re: [Announce] [13.10.27] kernel-plus 2.6.32.61 for Harmattan
 

I need that :) Can you give some info on a debugging console (I pray its USB/serial available on boottime) :) ?

Re: [Announce] [13.10.27] kernel-plus 2.6.32.61 for Harmattan
 

Serial port, available on the N9 when you remove the SIM tray and look at the PCB in the slot. There are small golden contacts in two rows near the edge of the PCB.

The first and second from the right when you hold the device screen facing up are GND and TxD, in that order. Tho one behind the TxD is RxD, but you only need that if you want to send data to the device, for seeing boot messages hooking up to the first row contacts is enough.

To connect to your computer you need a serial-1.8vTTL level shifter - USB adapter, like this for example: CP2102-USB-2-0-to-UART-TTL-Converter, they cost under 2 eur in Ebay.

I started thinking about this, and the way I explained it is actually very badly, so I need to try to make some ascii art for you :D

Now, imagine that you are looking at the device from above, so that it is facing away from you, display side up but so that you see the "NOKIA" text upside down. I tried sketching it for you in the picture below. The simslot is marked with a dotted line inside the device.

The contacts marked "G" are GND, "T" is TxD from the device and "R" is RxD to the device. Other pins you do not care about when using the serial console.

Also, to get some use from the console you need to enable it to output the device boot messages. This can be done two ways;

• The first way is to set the device in R&D-mode, with the flags "--enable-rd-mode --set-rd-flags=serial-console".
  This works even if you are not using ubiboot.
• The second way is to set the serial console flags via ubiboot command line injection, putting for example string "G_OS2_INIT_CMDLINE_APPENDS="console=ttyS0,115200n 8" in your ubiboot.conf file.

Here's the kernel boot log now. It seems to hang on a panic pretty nicely there :D
For some reason it seems that the kernel cannot execute "/sbin/preinit_harmattan" even though it's right on there and has the execute permissions on?

Re: [Announce] [13.10.27] kernel-plus 2.6.32.61 for Harmattan
 

I just noticed that it's not aegis-neutered...
I'll recompile it with aegis patches to go.

Re: [Announce] [13.10.27] kernel-plus 2.6.32.61 for Harmattan
 

Allright, found it :D
uploading image soonest...

------------------------------

Edit: I was way too optimistic :(

Managed to boot past the first panic but it fails at later stage...
This requires a lot of effort to go thru I guess.

------------------------------

Edit: OK now it's looking better. :)
Had a mixup of modules so the correction I made actually helped.

Re: [Announce] [13.10.27] kernel-plus 2.6.32.61 for Harmattan
 

Allright, here's my fresh image:

http://www.swagman.org/juice/ubiboot...-plus_29102013
(md5sum=521eca00a9102b7b8a7243a08fad3171)

I have now run fairly extensive tests with it (barring of course any long-time stability tests :D)

The kernel image is compatible with the modules from Hurrian's original kernel, so you need to just download the new zImage and drop it into your /boot/ & edit ubiboot.conf accordingly.

Fixes: aegis neutering and patching the task selection priority on process wakeup.

Many thanks, it worked flawless. You so good :D

Sorry, would i ask the full feature of .61 plus?

Re: [Announce] [13.10.27] kernel-plus 2.6.32.61 for Harmattan
 

Security and bug fixes on top of Nokia's plain old 2.6.32.54, mostly.

2.6.32 is a long term support kernel, it should be getting patches for some time.

EDIT:
First post updated with new binaries. Thanks juiceme!
