bogl: don't know screen type 1

bogl: don't know screen type 1

[mike]

Hi,

Decided to reinstall linux, but this error haunts me.
Adding nolangchooser didnt help.

My boot file looks like this
amiboot -d -m mfile -k vmlinuz-2.4.27-amiga -r initrd.gz root=/dev/ram
video=amifb:pal-lace

Tried pretty much everything, it seems to die around the kbd chooser,
so i added bootkbd=querty/us.
This resulted in a segmentation fault before the bogl'ing started. By
the life of my i cant remember what i did last time.... But im pretty
sure i didnt add nolangchooser.

I believe you want to add the parameter fb=false to your kernel 
parameters. bogl is a graphics library that assumes kernel support 
that amiga doesn't have. fb=false tells d-i to not go there.

2.4.27 hasn't been tested with d-i in quite some time, at least not by me.

Peace,

Stephen

Hi,

Tested that to, its just a modified StartInstall file. i believe i
adjusted the fb= last time around, but to what i dont know. it does
work with 2.6, however i cant find any 1. cd isos i can download apart
from 3.1r8. Last time i installed from a iso image on the hard drive,
i even tracked down the loop.ko from my previous installation. (i
think and hope)

Thanks.

Yep. debian-installer dailies are now *dead* until we get a modern libc
working.

Ugh... and im still having trouble getting installed, it cant read SFS
or FFS, it loads no modules, and complaied when i tried to modprobe.
and cant mount partitionts, i wonder if its due to the changes of
sector number( i believe ) the 3.9 hdtoolbox did, worked under 3.1
when it detected them but that detected twice the number 3.9 did, and
3.9's way is stable, as far as it was... i ended up typing in the rdb
manually a bunch of times before...

But i've formatted a partition as innocently as i can on amigaos,
havent tested that yet, but it did bloody read all of them before....
And i cant make the installer do tcp/ip over serial (slip) without
attacking it. ( thats basically the next step tho, build the initrd
from hell and work from there )

Re: bogl: don't know screen type 1

I tried to boot 2.6.29 or whatever... It was so slow compared to 2.4 i
donno what to say, except its crap. Not a surprise if gcc produces
crappier and crappier 68k binaries anyway. Why the hell isnt freescale
on top of this? Fuck damn they should be on top of this and the
68050/70 the natami is trying out, and bloody include talent like Carl
S and Dave H that know what the heck the 68k, electronics, and the
amiga is about....

Would you mind submitting a bug report or two with preprocessed 
testcases showing examples of bad code generation on m68k, especially if 
the code has regressed since some previous version of GCC?

Please CC me on the bug reports.

Its this one, i havent tried building myslef since 2.6.28. but i dont
think that was this slow
http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/m68k/images/20090813-01:13/kernels/
http://aminet.net/search?query=2.6.28

Im still having trouble installing, the installer just cant seem to
read the fs, even formatted a partition to ffs, which should work, and
i have no /lib/modules/asfs etc. Could it be a problem with the way
3.9 has handled the harddrive?

For what it's worth - my m68k systems runs current linux kernel, 2.6.30,
compiled with gcc 4.2.4 just fine, and I have not see any slow-down, apart
from obvious things in bootup, like initiating udev, creating nodes and
similar things that have nothing to do with kernel itself. I also make
sure to compile my kernels with only the modules that makes sense for the
hardware I run it on.

My systems are one A1200 with Blizzard 1230III (030+882@50MHz) and 32MB
RAM, one A1200 with Blizzard 1260 (060@50MHz) and 64MB RAM, and one Mac

2.6.x is noticable slower than 2.4.x, due to increasing RAM requirements.
Probably you don't notice it that much as even your least machine has 32 MiB of
RAM. I do, as my A4000/040 has only 12 MiB of Fast RAM.

Can't file locking prevent that? Sounds like a bug...

I wonder whether there are debian source packages for binutils, gcc and 
glibc having TLS/NPTL support for m68k.

The patches posted to the binutils mailing list are incomplete. The 
binutils patch at
http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/m68k/tls/
is broken according to Kolla:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-68k/2009/07/msg00001.html

But in that post (June 28) Maxim recommends using mainline binutils, and 
since then we have HJL binutils-2.19.51.0.14 released, "...based on 
binutils 2009 0722 in CVS on sourceware.org..." So I guess I should start 
there.

I understand that the current GCC (4.4) lacks the necessary patches, and 
4.5 is still uncooked (and that's a scary prospect). Can someone confirm 
that this is the necessary patch for 4.4:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-05/msg01024.html
Presumably not this one?
http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/m68k/tls/gcc_patch2
(and gcc_patch1 is clearly broken... perhaps it was actually the same 
thing before being mangled... Stephen, I don't think this "/tls" directory 
is helping any.)
Or perhaps there is a known-good gcc 4.5 snapshot (FWIW, I'd much rather 
patch a debian compiler instead, which means 4.4 or preferably older.)

As for eglibc, there are a number of branches listed here, 
http://www.eglibc.org/repository
The question is, which branch, snapshot or release might meet be suitable?

With this information, I could attempt to build a toolchain from upstream 
sources, or figure out whether or not the debian archive has the necessary 
source packages...

It would be wonderful to have debian gcc 4.4 building on m68k. It 
never has.

The life is fast ebbing from debian/m68k as far as I can tell. I'm not
sure if there is sufficient energy to revitalize it. I'd be delighted to
be proven wrong.

The thing is, its been proven that gcc produces slower and slower 68k
binaries, its probably not the linker in binutils at all
see.
http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?p=519318
and  ( not 100% sure if its the correct thread, but the natami team
have noticed the issue
http://www.natami.net/knowledge.php?b=3&note=2&z=9M0ieT

Including Gunnar Von Boehn in this now, cause they've done alot more
research, and can probably fill in what freescale have, and havent
done. I suspect they have been tweaking the code for newer "68k's" or
coldfires, rather than branching it off?

Re: toolchain, was Re: bogl: don't know screen type 1

*hurm* Well if it is the case that some dev at freescale has assumed
that producing binaries in a certain way that makes sense for the
coldfire series ( which might resemble the original enough to make it
seem sensible )  might explain the slowdown were seeing _across the
line_ ( be it amigaos linux or fuckos).

Bernd Roesch ( now included weather he likes it or not, sorry :) has
also made remarks and comparisons about this. As has the amigaos dev's
of ffmpeg, which has made it bleeding clear in the posts linked to
before

http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=47991&highlight=ffmpeg+slowdown

So no the slowdown from 333,340 to 4xx is not only amigaos, its
clearly visible booting the linux kernel too ... .

FYI FWIW gcc 4.4.x is used in FreeMiNT (an old BSD-like TOS compatible
OS) and seems to produce a well working m68k code. Of course no glibc or
similar issues there, still using good old a.out :)

So am I!
But I must confess that it's not looking good for m68k. It's getting more
and more difficult for the port to survive after the exclusion from Debian,
IMHO, YMMV. Currently my plan is to shutdown most of my buildds and most
likely buildd.net as well in 1-2 years. Maybe I keep one or the other
machine running. 
This is for the current state of m68k. If there is a turnover and
development with the help from other people get's some kind of momentum
again, I'll happily keep the machines going as well as buildd.net.

I'd remove it.

The gcc commit in question is this one,
http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs?view=revision&revision=147654
which appears to be the very one in the mailing list archive at the URL 
above (you can download a raw version at that URL).

A quick visual shows that tls/gcc_patch2 doesn't match the commit (the 
revision numbers in the diff confirm that it is older).

The last binutils TLS patches went in on 2009-08-26; the patches fixed 
generation of invalid TLS relocations.

I think GCC 4.4 should be good enough.

EGLIBC does not yet have NPTL patches checked in, they are in review on 
libc-ports@.  Once the review is finished, I will likely backport the 
patches from EGLIBC trunk to 2.10 branch.

You will also need a patch for kernel, posted on linux-m68k@.

Yep sad isnt it, one hope for the port is that several amigans (
trough natami ) and atarians ( trough the coldfire atari project) or
otherwise some miracle happens at freescale and thereby more people
see a reason to run debian on their 68k's,

Question is tho, as the kernel gets more bloated and slower as time
passes, and the packages that run on top, will it even be usable on
those in a few...

Netbsd seems to have a fast kernel. from what little i've booted of it...

I haven't seen anyone test for kernel performance regressions on m68k 
(other than the scheduler regression) -- let alone work on reversing them. 
Probably because of the usual shortage of skills.

> Netbsd seems to have a fast kernel. from what little i've booted of

You have to pick the right architecture. In Linux (the kernel) algorithms 
are tuned for the common case, which is x86. And hence you'd expect a 
Linux operating system's performance to be competitive with any equivalent 
operating system running on that architecture.

Having said that, kernel performance even on x86 is quite variable from 
one release to another:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_2629_benchmarks&num=9 

Of course, benchmarks on Intel architectures should not be taken as 
representative of m68k performance. It would be informative to build and 
run a benchmark suite like that one on debian etch-m68k (it has gcc 3.3 
and 4.1) using the latest kernel.

OK. Debian has 2.19.51.20090827-1 in the sid archive. I wonder if it has 
been built yet?

I guess I'll wait for that, and then perhaps look into patching 2.9 if 
that turns out to be straight forward. (Debian has 2.10 in the 
experimental archive, 2.9 (more or less) in stable and testing.)

No, binutils buildds were failing, now that are stuck in autoconf 
dependency hell. I've been meaning to have a look. It will at the 
least take manually messing with older dependencies to get a set 
installed.

Stephen, this patch will be needed in order to build glibc with TLS, since 
it provides the userspace headers for TLS.

http://marc.info/?l=linux-m68k&m=125145669021517&w=2

Not sure how debian handles the kernel headers. I presume that 
linux-libc-dev (probably 2.6.30) needs the patch? (As will the other 
kernel packages of course.)

The patch doesn't apply to 2.6.30, because the rt_tgsigqueueinfo syscall 
is not there.

Will see how far I get with binutils and gcc while I wait for the 2.6.31 
kernel release and eglibc patches.

I tried patching 4.4.1 and the patch was rejected. It expects 
m68k_legitimize_address() to have been declared and defined, but that 
routine isn't in gcc-4.4.

So, I edited the patch (see diff below). What bothers me is that this 
removes the call to the new m68k_tls_symbol_p() routine:

../../gcc-4.4.1/gcc/config/m68k/m68k.c: At top level:
../../gcc-4.4.1/gcc/config/m68k/m68k.c:2553: warning: 'm68k_tls_symbol_p' defined but not used

The compiler appears to work, but I haven't run any executable it produced 
as yet. When we get eglibc-2.10 I plan to run the testsuites on '040 
hardware, which is going to take a long time to complete. It would be nice 
to know in advance whether this naive attempt at a backport is likely to 
work or not (?)

m68k.c:m68k_legitimize_address() was macro m68k.h:LEGITIMIZE_ADDRESS(), 
you need to move the hunk to m68k.h.

Thanks for the tip.

Here's a second cut. This one removes the m68k_tls_symbol_p() routine and 
inlines that logic in the LEGITIMIZE_ADDRESS macro (avoids a reference to 
m68k_tls_symbol_p() from explow.o). The TARGET_HAVE_TLS macro wasn't 
defined in explow.c so I changed it to HAVE_AS_TLS.

It appears to work, but I won't be able to test any binary produced by 
this compiler for a week or so.

Seems im not the only soul feeling the bloat
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10358024-16.html

I havent seen any 68k linux benchmarks for this yet
http://cshandley.co.uk/temp/membench/
http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=29569&forum=14

It would be interesting if someone could compare a binary compiled
with gcc 2.95 to 3.33 3.40 and or 4.4 for linux, on various systems
even. To see if the slowdown has any consistency.

These benchmarks aren't for linux, right?

If you would like to run some linux benchmarks, I could build the latest 
kernel using several different compilers for you. I'd need a kernel config 
to suit your hardware though.

But if you want to compare different compilers using benchmarks for a 
different operating system, I can't help with that. You may have more luck 
with that on the relevant mailing list or forum.

Re: benchmarks, was Re: toolchain

[mike]

> These benchmarks aren't for linux, right?
Nope, thats amiga c
I see umisef made a mac version , but i cant see a link to it anywhere.


For some reason, probably due to the way amigaos 3.9 has configured
the hd i cant mount, or read SFS partitions from linux, so im dead in
the water as far as linux on the amiga goes, either that or modules
are missing.. Seemed like none were loaded according to lsmod .. I
need to install from a image on the hard drive.. So i cant test until
i figure that out. And i couldnt get it running in e-uae. If i could
get that running, i might be able to stuff the hd in the pc and dd a
partition.

Are there any other VM's i could use to install linux 68k?

[mike]

Ok, i've nearly finished my manual install of 3.1r8...
I've got two problems, im missing
/lib/modules/2.4.27-amiga/modules.dep ( does anyone have it handy? )

And a "passwd: Authentication token manipulation error"
I've checked the perms of /etc/shadow they are shadow root and correct
rw. so is passwd

And i can so far only boot into single user mode. But that will work for now.

It is generated using the "depmod -ae" command (I think those are the 
correct arguments...) Normally it is generated at boot time, but I guess 
it is not run if you stop at the single user run level.

Sounds familiar but I don't recall what the cause was. Maybe google it.

Re: debian installation

[mike]

Thanks Finn

depmod -ae did it.

With a bit of luck i can get a dist-upgrade if i can get slip working
and sharing between my box here.. Think i'll upload this install to
aminet so i dont loose it when im done with a detailed guide on how to
configure etc...... This is the most complicated install i've ever
done

You probably need to run slattach first, which is in package net-tools.
You also need kernel-support for slip (CONFIG_SLIP).
