It is a time consuming process to create and modify this file system. Would it be possible to create a rootdisk ala Slackware with a minimal system and a few utilities on it? If we could fdisk, mount, tar, gunzip, etc it would be very handy for testing purposes. I've read the bootdisk HOWTO but before I do this, has anyone else gone down this path? I've not been successful in compiling a kernel with ramdisk support.

I've not been successful in compiling a kernel with ramdisk support. Ramdisk support was a no-go for me, too. Looking at the sources, it seems that some necessary constants are missing from the .h file. Wasn't a problem, though, since NFS-root works well. > Thomas Bogendoerfer wrote: > > > I have the same problem, and Ralf told me, that I need a new mount binary. > > But I haven't compiled a new mount to see wether that's all I need. > > Which package is mount in?

I have downloaded a distribution which has unpacked as linux-2.1.14.2.dec is this the latest or most suitable? before I waste a lot of time with it. 2. I guess I need a linux system on which to compile everything? or is anything else suitable? 3. Currently my machine has no software at all, I guess the best way to get it running is to net boot to another machine? I have access to Sun machines running SunOS 4.13 or Solaris 2.5 will either be suitable? Any other suggestions greatly appreciated.

What I made available is some snapshots from the CVS archive on ftp.linux.sgi.com. Also while we don't have anonymous CVS on that machine running yet the CVS archive is available for anonymous download in /cvs. The reason why I never did release an "official" kernel in the last time is that I wanted to release something that is stable. 2.1.43 is definately not, not on any architecture. Anyway - I'll be in California for the next two month and hack on kernels. More cool news to be announced in the near future - unfortunately I'm not allowed to speak right now :-( Ralf From linux@informatik.uni-koblenz.de Tue Aug 12 22:31:01 1997 Received: from informatik.uni-koblenz.de (mailhost.uni-koblenz.de [141.26.4.1]) by guadalquivir.fnet.fr with ESMTP (8.8.5/97.02.12/Guadalquivir); id WAA12641; Tue, 12 Aug 1997 22:30:57 +0200 (MET DST) Received-Date: Tue, 12 Aug 1997 22:30:57 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from thoma (linux@thoma.uni-koblenz.de [141.26.4.61]) by informatik.uni-koblenz.de (8.8.6/8.6.9) with SMTP id WAA04700 for ; Tue, 12 Aug 1997 22:30:43 +0200 (MEST) From: Systemkennung Linux Message-Id: <199708122030.WAA04700@informatik.uni-koblenz.de> Received: by thoma (SMI-8.6/KO-2.0) id WAA25541; Tue, 12 Aug 1997 22:30:40 +0200 Subject: Re: Oops To: linux-mips@fnet.fr Date: Tue, 12 Aug 1997 22:30:39 +0200 (MET DST) In-Reply-To: from "Ryan" at Aug 12, 97 02:00:47 pm MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 736 Lines: 18 > I forgot to mention my other question-- > > is anyone working on a mips64 toolchain?

We will. For the time being stability counts higher than a huge address ("Look Ma, my Nitendo still has a Terabyte free") space. With N32 ABI support being another topic.

You need enough memory and enough 'filestore' (could be flash). But yes. But the Philips part (and the similarly-targetted NEC Vr4100 family) have very poor price/performance compared to their big brothers; they're optimised for ultra-low power consumption.

In fact Netpower refsed to give out any technical data to make a port possible. Currently there is noone working on a port to their machines.

I found 2 scheduling hazards in the macros SAVEALL and RESTOREALL, after this fix the memory sizing routine runs well. Now I got stuck in kernel_entry, when the bss is cleaned. There are two adresses _edata and _end, which are set by the linker as I understand. On my machine these are both zero, but they shouldn't be, I think. I'm not familiar with the linker internals nor with the ecoff file format, so could some, please, make some suggestions to solve the problem!

On > my machine these are both zero, but they shouldn't be, I think. Yes, they should not be zero. I suppose the way you are building the executable is beyond what the binutils can handle. Maybe you should try to use the elf2ecoff program from Milo. This solved the problems with the binutils for building Milo; it will probably also solve your problem. After all it was stolen from the PMAX port of *BSD :-) > I'm not familiar with the linker internals nor with the ecoff file format, > so could some, please, make some suggestions to solve the problem!

The assembler knows about a lot of the pipeline hazards, so I just leave the job to the assembler. All it takes is allowing instruction scheduling by .set reorder.
