- I'm attempting to get LILO 0.7 working, but I still have a problem with
- booting. First off, I don't have LaTeX installed, so I'm using the
- ASCII README file instructions. I've built the kernel, when compiling
- the kernel I get the following message.
- -----------
- ../blk.h:184 warning: 'do_st_request' declared 'static' but never defined
- -----------
- I don't know if I should be concerned or not, but I forged ahead. :-)
-
- My procedure for building the kernel is as follows...
-
- make clean
- make dep
- make all
-
- BTW, I'm using Linux version .99 from the SLS 98p5 distribution, I've
- installed no patches.
-
- I then installed LILO and did the "make install" to copy it to /etc/lilo
- and used the command line...
-
- lilo -b /dev/fd0 -i boot.b -v -v -v /new.Image
-
- Everything seems to run properly to this point, no errors, and things seem
- to progress as you would expect.
-
- ... now, I booted from the floppy just created, and...
-
- This is the screen after booting...
- -------------
- Serial driver version 3.1 with NEW_INTERRUPT_ROUTINE enabled
- ttys0 at 0x03f8 (irt = 4) is a 16450
- ttys1 at 0x02f8 (irt = 3) is a 16450
- 8 virtual consoles
- lp_init: lpt exists (0)
- Memory: 7372k/;8192k available (376k kernel, 384k reserved, 60k data)
- Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M, fd1 is 1.2M
- floppy: FDC version 0x90

- Partition table ok.
- MINIX-fs: unable to read superblock
- EXT-fs: unable to read superblock
- MSDOS bread failed
- Kernel panic: Unable to mount root
- --------------
-
- I seem to remember this is a common problem, but what't the cause.
- I can boot from my normal boot floppy just fine, where am I going
- wrong? The first partition is a MINIX partition, the second is
- an extended file-system. Of course, both are fine booting from a
- floppy.
-
- In addition, I'm back to the oddball EGA character set that
- I had previously fixed with the following procedure, how do I get
- the kernel to have the default character set, if I ever do get it
- to boot?
-
- dd if=/dev/fd0 of=image.temp
- cd /usr/src
- cc rdev.c -o rdev
- ./rdev -?
- ./rdev -v /image.temp
- ./rdev -v /image.temp -1
- ./rdev -v /image.temp
- Insert blank flop in fd0
- dd if=image.temp of=/dev/fd0
