- Today I wanted to upgrade from 0.98p1 to 0.98p5 to get rid of the accept()
- problems. I got the kernel sources from nic.funet.fi , changed the Makefile
- to to enable svga-mode selection and select my (german) keyboard.
- AFter some time compiling stopped, complaining that there was no way to
- make target /usr/include/traditional.h .
- As i had no idea where to get it from, i did
- ln -s /dev/null /usr/include/traditional.h .
- Compiling then went on fine, with only a few warnings about unused functions
- etc.
- When i finally rebooted with the new disk, i got lots of initalisation
- messages, finally ending with the following:
-
- Partition table ok.
- MINIX-fs: unable to read superblock
- EXT-fs: unable to read superblock
- MSDOS bread failed
- Kernel panic: Unable to mount root
-
- rebooting with .98p1 works still fine.
-
- I have the following configuration:
-
- CH-486 Mainboard with 486dx-33, 256KB cache, AMI Bios, 16 MB RAM
- 210 MB Western Digital AT-bus hard disk
- One 1.44 MB 3,5" floppy disk driver as a:
-
- The hard dsik is partitioned as:
- hda1: bootable dos partition 11 MB
- hda2: minix filesystem, mounted as /
- hda3: minix filesystem, mounted as /user
- hda4: prepared for minix filesystem with fdisk, but no filesystem yet
-
- hda2-hda4 are almost, but not quite 64 MB.
-
- gcc is gcc222d7, from the gccdisk; libraries ( with jump tables ) & include
- files are from the libdisks.
-
- Booting is from floppy disk, no swap installed.
-
- Any clues?
