- I'm having really big problems installing 386bsd on my machine:
- 80486 50
- AMI bios / OPTI chipset
-
- I can install binaries and source.
- I can install patches.
- I can't rebuild the kernel, due to system hanging on symbols rearrange.
- I even tried to:
- - config STRIDER
- - shutdown and reboot
- - make depend
- - shutdown and reboot
- - make
- - hang and reboot
- - rm 386bsd orig.386bsd
- - make
- to see if hanging was caused by the large amount of memory (16 Mb),
- but it still doesn't work !!!!
- If I install orig.386bsd in /386bsd the system will not boot anymore
- (infinite loop), and note i recompiled the kernel last week and worked
- fine. The i reinstalled anything from start, I installed patches on
- the new, virgin, system, and things don't work anymore !!!
- I doubt it is NOT any hardware failure.
-
- Any hints ??
-
- Bye all
