Hi folks,
It seems I spoke too soon when I said:
> It appears that my problem was a muddled make (I had been trying to
> use Ralf's compiler before switching to the one available on the
> DECstation page) and a 'make clean' fixed things for me. My
> DECstation kernel now boots as previously advertised by Harald!
...except that it gets as far as:
[snip]
TURBOchannel rev. 1 at 12.5Mhz (no parity)
2 slots, size 64MB
Got dbe at 800dc1b4.
Got dbe at 800dc210.
Got dbe at 800dc1b4.
Got dbe at 800dc210.
Starting kswapd v 1.5
Ramdisk driver initialized : 16 ramdisks of 4096K size
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
EXT2-fs warning: checktime reached, running e2fsck is recommended
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
...then nothing! I don't get any of the messages about freeing memory,
or being unable to open initial console, or any of the page fault
output. Any ideas Harald?
Regards,
Paul
