- Boy, what an attenton grabber.. :)..
-
- Yes, 'tis me again. I have just RE-formated my whole
- HD, then repartitioned it, and now, mkfs'd the two minix
- partitions...
-
- After also 'attempting' to install the TCP/IP, and
- do a 'make' kernel, I 'sync' and then I rebooted.
-
- The following screen showed up, and totally confused me:-
-
- ...
- hda :
- part 1 start 17 size 51238 end 51254
- part 2 start 51255 size 130560 end 181814
- part 3 start 181815 size 52020 end 233834
- Partition table ok.
- Linux version 0.98.pl1-37 (root@softland) 10/12/92 14:54:40

- Well, that's what happens. If someone can explain what the hell is
- going on and what I MUST have done wrong, I'd feel much better. I
- was gonna 'SOCK' the computer if it wasn't for this newsgroup..
-
- <GET IT?? SOCK?? SOCKET?? HAHAHAHA...never mind....heh :)>
-
- The way I got to the above stuff is did the following:-
-
- 1) cd /etc/inet
- 2) sh install.net
- using Ip Address = 127.301.022.401
- Net Address = 127.301.022.0
- router address = 0.0.0.0
- domain name = van.bc.ca
- Name server for Domain = 127.301.022.401
- Run at boot time = y
-
- 3) cd /linux
- did a 'make'
- and tons of errors popped up:-
-
- build.o : Undefined symbol _exit referenced from text segment
- .
- etc... <but instead of _exit, some other stuff
- were displayed, and here's a list of them:-
- _stat,_perror,__cerr_sbuf,_fprintf,
- _write,_close,_open,_read,_write,
- and once in awhile, some of the aforementioned functions
- (or whatever) is repeated...
-
- then at the end, it shows this:-
- /usr/lib/libgcc.a(__main.o): Undefined symbol _atexit referenced from
- text segment
- make: *** [tools/build] Error 1
-
- <note: libgcc.a was not where it was supposed to be, it was in
- /usr/lib/shlib/nojump. Any reason for this??>
-
- 4) I ignored the errors, as I'm not an expert at C programming, and
- I did a 'sync' and rebooted, only to get the above screen.
-
- I'm probably gonna get MAJORLY hosed by some of you linux wizards,
- professionals and etc... Just hope someone HELPS me before I get hosed..
-
-
- I know..this isn't my first, but heck, at least it's a good effort
- by me to learn... <innocent looking grin>
-
- Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate any help...
