06:08 <hanetzer> gah, I'm so close I can taste it.

06:08 <hanetzer> grub2 on the asus c201 chromebook

07:21 <Pix> launched by uboot ?

07:22 <hanetzer> nope, launched by coreboot

07:23 <hanetzer> prollem is I don't have input

07:23 <hanetzer> dropped at a grub prompt and that's as far as I get.

07:28 <Pix> hmm

07:29 <Pix> on x86 i'd talk about usb legacy support in the bios, but here...

07:30 <Pix> got a specific GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT entry ?

07:30 <hanetzer> is that part of grub.cfg?

07:30 <Pix> yup

07:30 <Pix> https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/html_node/Simple-configuration.html

07:30 <Pix> "GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT’

07:30 <Pix> Valid terminal input names depend on the platform, but may include ‘console’ (native platform console), ‘serial’ (serial terminal), ‘serial_<port>’ (serial terminal with explicit port selection), ‘at_keyboard’ (PC AT keyboard), or ‘usb_keyboard’ (USB keyboard using the HID Boot Protocol, for cases where the firmware does not handle this).

07:30 <Pix> Select the terminal input device. You may select multiple devices here, separated by spaces.

07:30 <Pix> The default is to use the platform’s native terminal input."

07:30 <hanetzer> nope, I just have the stock coreboot.cfg

07:31 <Pix> could worth the try

07:36 <hanetzer> I'll give it a shot :)

07:39 <hanetzer> thanks for the tip, even if it doesn't work :)

07:43 <hanetzer> cros_keyboard didn't work (trying also at_keyboard and usb_keyboard now)

07:51 <hanetzer> nope, no joy.

07:52 <Pix> hm :\

07:53 <hanetzer> I shot an email to the grub-devel mailing list and the dude who did the port

07:53 <Pix> libreboot was not an option ?

07:54 <Pix> (i'm googling around the c201)

07:54 <hanetzer> didn't work right, and it was dicks for how anal depthcharge is about its boot format.

07:55 <hanetzer> too much of a pain if I'ma stick a 'normal' linux on it, plus its always fun to do wierd stuff :P

07:58 <Pix> yup :)

07:59 <Pix> in the same way, trying to properly package the aarch64 centos 4.14 kernel to enable easy kernel updates on my rk3399

07:59 <Pix> not-that-easy.. :)

08:05 <hanetzer> I intend to use gentoo, so 'packaging' isn't an issue for kernels :)

08:07 <Pix> Well you'll still need to write an ebuild

08:07 <Pix> but yes, ebuild is way easier to write than a rpm spec file

08:07 <hanetzer> nah. ::gentoo ebuild exists already :)

08:07 <hanetzer> yeah, ebuilds rock

08:07 <Pix> pfff

08:07 <Pix> no fun

08:08 <hanetzer> the real fun happens in menuconfig ;)

08:09 <Pix> :)
