Hi all
I reinstalled Irix 5.3 on our indy, and put the vmlinux-indy-2.1.67.tar.gz
kernel on the irix root as vmlinux. There is no root-file-system yet. I need
to bring a disk...
When booting using
stop for maintainance,
boot
(sash) boot -f /vmlinux /dev/sda1
it starts to boot, but it hangs after the following message:
Got a bus error IRQ, shouldn't happen yet.
This comes just after the serial devices probe and the registering of the
loop device.
Is this something releted to a missing root-file-system? I was expecting
something like
Panic, unable to mount root-fs
I'll bring a disk tomorrow and try to unpack the file-system there, but in
the meantime, I'm curious what causes this error.
I'm also curious where to fined the installer program which is mentioned in
Linux-installer.tgz/INSTALL and whether there is a solution to the rpm-binary
that is supposed not to work (as per th INSTALL doc)
Thanks for any insight! and for porting Linux/RedHat 5.0!
