System (sam440flex) and Installation logging

[xenic]

Dont Know if this will help . It is a listing of a Clean Update 4 Python directory.

Your listing appears to be close to the listing of my Python listing on the test partion I installed. The number of files is the same for sure; except for the missing Python file I downloaded from OS4Depot (_ssl.so). I think my vision is beginning to blur from looking at file listings

Is your python functional in both installations?

Both installations work with the Update Installers but I don't know anything about Python so I can't say if they are both completely functional.

Because I would like to verify my own system file set against someone elses (preferably in person but over a network link if there is no other choice) for the same reasoning as you put here.

I suggest you compare to the listing Spectre660 provided. As I said, my boot partition Python appears to be different and I don't know why. Let us know how your installation compares to Spectre660's listing.

These are my OS 4 update archives etc

Here's a list of the files in my SYS:SObjs directory if that helps:

@Xenic: yes, with the other lists I have gotten I have managed to piece together that the Shared ObjectsI have installed all match...

If you still have crash problems I can only make one other suggestion. My SAM Flex 800Mhz crashes in certain programs almost randomly. Compiling large programs crashes in CC1 at random points, MUI-OWB crashes within 5-10 minutes and other programs crash for no apparent reason. When Hypertext was released, I discovered that all the above crashes disappear if I change my system clock speeds to 733/122 and I've been running my system at that speed ever since. I don't know which SAM Flex you have but if it's running at 800MHz you might try a lower speed.

Well I have a working system right now and only python and TimberWolf remain "broken" at all (I even copied all the Shared Objects from the complete update set installation as well)

so far those are the only two items that show any issues with everything else working fine, I have no issues with leaving OWB or anything else running over a day or two (I can leave the machine and come back and have it continue where it left off...)

the Updates themselves worked once I ran *all* of them without rebooting between, this seemed to bypass the problem entirely (I'm not sure quite what the issues actually are as it seems to be entirely buried in the SObjs: that get used)

The only other thing I have to report/ask about is what bootloader options there are for SLB/Parthenope and setting up for booting a Linux kernel,

I've set aside a partition (I have even managed to boot and install Crux PPC to it along with building a kernel cuImage file for the sam440 (twice built with no problems so far...)
And the only thing stopping me from Dual-Booting is the non-existence of any Linux boot options...

I just need to know what to do for configuring Parthenope so it shows something other than an error message or otherwise get the SLBv2 to show options for booting Linux with a kernel image supplied...

I also tried the NetInstall ISO as well (it came with a surprise limitation of no reiserfilesystem support...)

I managed to work around this by preparring the drive for a single whole drive partition but skipping saving it and hand-writing a PCC mountlist followed by formatting the second partition on the drive to being vfat by putting it into a windows machine and using the parted magic distribution on that.

I've managed to transfer most of the data I need off the Linux partition onto the FAT32 partition using CrossDOS... and this is when I ran into some troubles with TuneNet... still exploring things a bit more

Glad its better, the way I would do it is to go all the way up to update 4, then archiving clean install so anytime you could return by simple format and copy files.
Python and TW should work well with that update.

that is effectively what I have done without making the archive,

I would like to get python and TimberWolf working as well for a complete system install

--EDIT--
Updated TuneNet and that is still not 100% when given directories instead of files

I also lost data as none of the utf8 or iso-2022-jp filenames survived

any ideas for settings that would let me use utf-8 would be very appreciated
