The Words of the Sledge. To the RSS feed. Tuesday, 19 May 2015. Easier installation of Jessie on the Applied Micro X-Gene. As shipped, Debian Jessie (8.0) did not include kernel support for the USB controller on APM X-Gene based machines like the Mustang. In fact, at the time of writing this that support has not yet gone upstream into the mainline Linux kernel either but patches have been posted by Mark Langsdorf from Red Hat. Well, until now. :-).

The Words of the Sledge. To the RSS feed. Friday, 20 March 2015. Jo and I just got back from our massive holiday in Australia. We had an awesome time overall, fitting in lots. Of stuff in 4 weeks. Time for a quick write-up and some photos! We flew into Sydney, then straight onto Uluru for the obligatory sunset and sunrise viewings. We didn't climb the Rock, both for sensitivity reasons and (to be more honest! It looked way too much like hard work in 40-plus degree heat. We stayed up in Chatswood. Not...

The Words of the Sledge. To the RSS feed. Monday, 30 March 2015. UEFI Debian installer work for Jessie, part 6. One final update on my work for UEFI improvements in Jessie! All of my improvements have been committed into the various Debian packages involved, and the latest release candidate for Jessie's debian-installer build (RC2) works just as well as my test builds on the Bay Trail system I've been using (Asus X205TA). Job done! My kernel patch to add the new /sys file was accepted upstream a while ba...

The Words of the Sledge. To the RSS feed. Thursday, 20 November 2014. UEFI Debian CDs for Jessie. So, my work for Wheezy gave us working amd64 UEFI installer images. Yay! Except: there were a few bugs that remained, and also places where we could deal better with some of the more crappy UEFI implementations out there. But, things have improve since then and we should be better for Jessie in quite a few ways. That could leave people with broken systems, unable to dual boot. Finally, I've been getting lots...

The Words of the Sledge. To the RSS feed. Thursday, 23 April 2015. Aka bits from the debian-cd team). I'm happy with the progress we've made for debian-installer and related packages for the Jessie release. We're going to end up with a release that's better in a number of ways than what we've had before. 1 Big EFI enhancements. I've already blogged a lot about the stuff I've worked on here, so I'll just summarise for now some of the improvements we've got over Wheezy. Significantly better support for Int...

The Words of the Sledge. To the RSS feed. Friday, 13 February 2015. Linaro VLANd v0.2. I've been working on this for too long without really talking about it, so let's fix that now! VLANd is a simple (hah! Python program intended to make it easy to manage port-based VLAN setups across multiple switches in a network. It is designed to be vendor-agnostic, with a clean pluggable driver API to allow for a wide range of different switches to be controlled together. There's more information in the README.

The Words of the Sledge. To the RSS feed. Wednesday, 08 April 2015. More arm64 hardware for Debian - Applied Micro X-Gene. As a follow-up to my post about bootstrapping arm64 in Debian. We've had more hardware given to Debian for us to use in porting and building packages for arm64. Applied Micro. Sent me an X-Gene. The machine is now up and running as. And has been building packages for a few weeks now. You can see the stats here. On the buildd.debian.org site.
