Well, it would appear that the ARM Linux Web pages are currently off line, due to a machine requiring a total refit (new motherboard and hard drive I think soton said). I can't do anything about it at the moment, however, I'm trying to get something arranged to give more information at the following address: http://www.arm.uk.linux.org/~rmk92/armlinux.html Until I get it sorted out, please check the above address for more information. Ultimately, the web pages will move onto another machine, and this address will then display a warning with a link to the correct address. This transition may also be fraught with problems. However, if you find that after a week of the warning and the real pages are not apparant, then please mail me. The FTP server is still available however at this time. _____ |_____| ------------------------------------------------- ---+---+- | | Russell King rmk@ecs.soton.ac.uk --- --- | | | | http://www.arm.uk.linux.org/~rmk/home.html / / | | +-+-+ --- -+- / | THE developer of ARM Linux |+| /|\ / | | | --- | +-+-+ ------------------------------------------------- /\\\ | From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Sat Sep 6 10:45:05 1997 Return-Path: Received: from nic.funet.fi (nic.funet.fi [128.214.248.6]) by odie.barnet.ac.uk (8.8.6/8.8.6) with ESMTP id KAA32089 for ; Sat, 6 Sep 1997 10:45:03 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2] EHLO vger.rutgers.edu ident: root [port 62293]) by nic.funet.fi with ESMTP id <16264-24182>; Sat, 6 Sep 1997 12:11:17 +0300 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <971897-12608>; Fri, 5 Sep 1997 20:33:56 -0400 Received: from [195.212.59.66] ([195.212.59.66] EHLO primanet.primanet.de ident: IDENT-NOT-QUERIED [port 33371]) by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <971895-12607>; Fri, 5 Sep 1997 20:33:40 -0400 Received: from PC_chrisa.primanet.de ([195.212.59.18]) by primanet.primanet.de (8.7.4/8.7.3) with SMTP id CAA04116; Sat, 6 Sep 1997 02:37:36 +0100 (WET DST) Message-ID: In-Reply-To: <1879.199708201844@raistlin.armlinux.org> References: Conversation <1879.199708201844@raistlin.armlinux.org> with last message <1879.199708201844@raistlin.armlinux.org> X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 To: rmk@ecs.soton.ac.uk, linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu MIME-Version: 1.0 From: "ca" Subject: What will let me know if my personal computer unit is ready 4 linux Date: Sat, 06 Sep 97 02:33:08 PDT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"; X-MAPIextension=".TXT" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk Status: RO Hello! Hi, folks. I like to tell you that i am proud seeing all the helping hands bringing the #Spirit of a GNU Generation# to our beloved ARM machines. Since the early days in 1986 when the powerfull RISC based machine, still in the same place today, more then 10 years later, it was my hope to find a UNIX ported that remained affordable after all devolopment and software engineering, etc. that is needed for running that breed of OS. Eventhough i am glad to finally found one that prossibly could bring new live to Archi, it made me sad it took so long, and I am not able to share the enthusiastic programmers spirit, -cause i do now nothing about coding. Please could one answer me? tehse are my questions: 1. How can everybody (especially me, cause sometimes I manage to find out what is needed to turn on a computer. Not much, uuuh?) help suppport FS-Projects that hande UNIX ports free for all using Acorn AR"M based HW? 2. Is there a set of Images (fitting my low density floppy drive) for chcking out if the A440/4 (nearly upgraded to A5000 features) can perform the boot process and initialize the install procedure for any of the freely available flavours of uni*_os for that machine. 3. Could it be that there is a similar machine already up and running unix? Ok. Not the acorn commercial version as long as it will not become public domain. 4. What versions are currently ported (best if known that it can be used with the A440): FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, Minix, etc.? 5. What adress and filenames are for minimum trial run needed\(I think DD-Disks hold 600 to 720k max. but the last one is only supported with add-on drivers) if there is a set of boot disks for this task. Yes! You guessed right: I want to see for myself. Is there a chance to run a unix on my machine and will it be fast enough (yet ARM3 equipped) to allow reliable work at accurate speed.

That's right. The kernel is extremely dependent on gcc, porting it to another C compiler is non-trivial. Your best bet is to run GCC on your WinNT machine.

I think thats true and on that basis I think it would be a big job to try it. Build gcc for cross compilation and it will do the trick, although I don't know what the issues are with doing it from Win NT.

Yep there is a lot of gcc dependant extension use, embedded assembly code and other more subtle things - the code is optimised in general to make best use of the way gcc generates code.

I wouldn't have thought that the Watford IDE interface is the cause of this since the kernel's getting that far. The next thing that happens after the keyboard driver is the printer/serial drivers are initialised. Since you're using an A3000 (and they're in progress of being ported), if you configure them at the moment, you'll get the ones for the A5000, which will cause the machine to hang, requiring a reset. If you configure the kernel without printer/serial ports, then it should boot. (Please note however, that the RedHat installer is unable to run in 4MB). _____ |_____| ------------------------------------------------- ---+---+- | | Russell King rmk@ecs.soton.ac.uk --- --- | | | | http://www.arm.uk.linux.org/~rmk/home.html / / | | +-+-+ --- -+- / | THE developer of ARM Linux |+| /|\ / | | | --- | +-+-+ ------------------------------------------------- /\\\ | From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Sun Sep 14 16:26:46 1997 Return-Path: Received: from nic.funet.fi (nic.funet.fi [128.214.248.6]) by odie.barnet.ac.uk (8.8.6/8.8.6) with ESMTP id QAA24304 for ; Sun, 14 Sep 1997 16:26:43 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2] EHLO vger.rutgers.edu ident: root [port 48920]) by nic.funet.fi with ESMTP id <9622-6103>; Sun, 14 Sep 1997 18:10:39 +0300 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <972459-25585>; Sun, 14 Sep 1997 11:02:36 -0400 Received: from sun3.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk ([128.86.8.50] EHLO sun3.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk ident: IDENT-NOT-QUERIED [port 1303]) by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <972286-25585>; Sun, 14 Sep 1997 11:02:20 -0400 Received: from bright.ecs.soton.ac.uk by sun3.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk with JANET SMTP (PP); Sun, 14 Sep 1997 16:07:52 +0100 Received: from marr.ecs.soton.ac.uk by bright.ecs.soton.ac.uk; Sun, 14 Sep 97 16:10:06 BST Received: from oracle.ecs.soton.ac.uk.ecs.soton.ac.uk by marr.ecs.soton.ac.uk; Sun, 14 Sep 97 16:18:11 BST Received: from caramon.armlinux.org by oracle.ecs.soton.ac.uk.ecs.soton.ac.uk; Sun, 14 Sep 1997 16:07:33 GMT Received: from raistlin.armlinux.org (raistlin [192.168.0.3]) by caramon.armlinux.org (8.7.4/8.7.3) with ESMTP id KAA19095 for ; Sun, 14 Sep 1997 10:06:53 +0100 From: Russell King - ARM Linux Admin Received: (from linux@localhost) by raistlin.armlinux.org (8.7.4/8.7.3) id KAA00392 for mshort@vividimage.com; Sun, 14 Sep 1997 10:06:48 +0100 Message-Id: <199709140906.KAA00392@raistlin.armlinux.org> Subject: Re: Arm Linux Problem To: mshort@vividimage.com (Michael Short) Date: Sun, 14 Sep 1997 10:06:46 +0100 (BST) Cc: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu In-Reply-To: <341AE92A@carlsbadpo.vividimage.com> from "Michael Short" at Sep 13, 97 02:03:00 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk Status: RO Michael Short writes: > I have downloaded the /distrib/Redhat directory from the arm-linux > ftp archive..

Erm, no. If you choose NFS, you don't get to use the supplemental disk. It instead mounts the machine name you give it, and runs the second stage installer from there.

The install text is supposed to be brief yet concise for the initial stages of the installation - it doesn't go into how to use the RedHat installer.

I don't know much about the EBSA, but does it have the facility for you to put the kernel in ROM on the board? That's what I've been doing while I develop a kernel for another StrongARM-based board. A 4Mbit device seems sufficient to hold a zImage; you just need a modified head.S to make it fly. p.

One of the problems I've found with RedHat 3.0 is that the FTP is definitely *not* compliant with the RFC specs - it only sends CRs, not CRLFs. This breaks some RiscOS FTP software, and I don't doubt other peoples FTPds as well. I have looked into the RedHat 4 installer, but there is very little documentation on the actual installer itself (except for source code), and nothing to tell you anywhere how to set up an installation filesystem. RedHat 4 is a lot more complicated, and will take longer to sort out and get running than RedHat 3 has. I have already started to look into RH4, but until I get my full complement of mass storage media back (Syquest are still stalling), I can't do anything to modify the distribution. (I'm now phoning them up *twice* a week, and just saying 'What's the news?' They reply 'Still waiting for Germany to send the drives back'. And then we have a discussion about how stupid this situation is since the old drive worked with the cartridges that I need to work on the distribution, and isn't there any way to hurry the return up). My solution - never buy any hardware - it always fails and will always take more than one month to fix/send replacement. [Current list of manufacturers with poor record: Syquest, Quantum].

Yes, it failed. I downloaded RedHat/RPMS and RedHat/base and placed them in the linux subdirectory on the Zip disc. I also downloaded !PartMan, !WriteDisc, !LinConfig, !Linux, RPC, RPC-ROOT and supplemental. I am aiming at the harddisc install option. I have partitioned my HD to 900Mb RiscOS, 292Mb Linux Native and 30Mb Linux swap (1222Gb does not add up to 1280*1024*1024 but rather 1280*1000*1000) with !PartMan. I think I set things up correctly with !LinConfig, and did create the root-rpc and supplemental discs and was ready to go. After a some failures trying to start !Linux, I noticed that !LinConfig did not create the Choices:Linux directory which I had to create myself. I did so and ran !LinConfig again. Now it produced a config file. Then I tried to start !Linux with -bootkernel ADFS::HardDisc4.$.ARMLinux.RPC and an error something like this: Buffer overflow (arose from the line executing !RunImage). I also kept getting this error, but cannot remember how I got rid of it: Invalid bmap file (&EA000006). I circumvented it with my own Obey file (like this one): WimpSlot 2048k 2048k .NewSetMode (or something like that) .!RunImage -config Choices:Linux.Config -list -bootkernel ADFS::HardDisc4.$.ARMLinux.RPC Does that look wrong? I changed the mode in NewSetMode to be one that my VRAM allowed (1024x768x256). I started the obey file and the kernel booted. It loaded the root floppy, the installer showed up, I selected harddisc install and it loaded the supplemental disc. Here I noticed that something was wrong (not fatal): The console driver kept messing the bottom lines up (made them unreadable). When I switched with ALT-F1/ALT-F2 it did not redraw correctly. When I scrolled the screen and the messy lines reached the top, the text became readable again. Any further scroll made it all start over. This also happened in 640x480x16. What can I have done wrong? Well, I went on, trying to ignore the previous error. I loaded the ppa.o module with: /sbin/insmod /modules/ppa.o ppa_base=0x278 I created a node: mknod /dev/sda4 b 8 4 and mounted (just to check): mkdir /zip;mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /zip I checked the files and they looked ok (they did, so I unmounted the zip again, as the installer wouldnt use a premounted directory. Or will it?). I let the installer carry on installing everything from zip to hda3 (292Mb partition). It estimated that it would need about 11 hours to do so, so I left it the night over. When I woke up, I saw that it was not able to find a kernel. I did not know where to place the kernel (and where should I get it from? Is it the same kernel as the install kernel?). During the installation above I checked how the installer mounted the zip disc, and it mounted it as type msdos. This did not seem to affect the installer in any way (even though the long filenames had turned into 6chars~n.rpm). If it did affect the installer, could this be the cause of the missing kernel? As far as I could check (cd /mnt; bin/du -k), about 242000 Kb was installed. If I did forget to download the kernel, where kan I put it to complete the install (I assume I should now select upgrade instead of install as I have install the rpm files?). regards, Bernhard -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bernhard Mogens Ege, M.Sc.E.E. | | E-mail: bme@vision.auc.dk Laboratory of Image Analysis | /( | Direct call: +45 96 35 87 85 Institute of Electronic Systems | ._//( | Switchboard: +45 96 35 80 80 Aalborg University | / | \ | Fax: +45 98 15 40 08 Frederik Bajersvej 7, D1-205 | A A U | Homepage: DK-9220 Aalborg East | | http://www.vision.auc.dk/~bme ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Home: H.C.Andersens Vej 26 st.mf., DK-9000 Aalborg, Phone: +45 20 42 99 26 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Thu Sep 18 23:55:30 1997 Return-Path: Received: from nic.funet.fi (nic.funet.fi [128.214.248.6]) by odie.barnet.ac.uk (8.8.6/8.8.6) with ESMTP id XAA01240 for ; Thu, 18 Sep 1997 23:55:29 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2] EHLO vger.rutgers.edu ident: root [port 7465]) by nic.funet.fi with ESMTP id <21299-32464>; Fri, 19 Sep 1997 01:54:16 +0300 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <973383-248>; Thu, 18 Sep 1997 18:37:47 -0400 Received: from [168.176.37.11] ([168.176.37.11] HELO fps.biblos.unal.edu.co ident: IDENT-NOT-QUERIED [port 4529]) by vger.rutgers.edu with SMTP id <973534-248>; Thu, 18 Sep 1997 17:04:51 -0400 Received: from localhost by fps.biblos.unal.edu.co (AIX 4.1/UCB 5.64/4.03) id AA28628; Thu, 18 Sep 1997 15:05:59 -0500 Date: Thu, 18 Sep 1997 15:05:58 -0500 (EST) From: "FABIAN PATINO (BIANCCIO)" To: Jan Magnussen Cc: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: Re: Loopmount In-Reply-To: Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk Status: RO i need help. i got problems to acces like root in my linux terminal, maybe some body change the permission. how i can to acces again?

That's because as far as the manufacturer is concerned (who is still on planet Decimal), the drive is 1280MB. However, as far as everyone else is concerned, 1MB = 1024 * 1024 bytes. So, the manufacturer says 1280MB -> 1280000000 bytes -> 1220.7MB according to everyone else using the right conversion factor. It's basically a con that hard drive manufacturers subscribe to. > Then I tried to start !Linux with -bootkernel > ADFS::HardDisc4.$.ARMLinux.RPC and an error something like this: Buffer > overflow (arose from the line executing !RunImage).

I circumvented it with my own Obey file (like this one): If you followed the instructions in INSTALL, you wouldn't get this problem! What happens is that the installer expects a valid partition to be accessible if you have a configuration file (so that it can read the menu entries). However, you haven't got that far. The solution is do *not* create the configuration file before you've installed Linux. > I changed the mode in NewSetMode to be one that my VRAM allowed > (1024x768x256). This should not actually be necessary - RiscOS should choose a mode that your hardware does support. I am at the moment taking my RiscPC into work, and have to keep switching monitor types (AKF85 (1280x1024x256) to AKF60 (1024x768x256)). RiscOS appears to `do the right thing'. Maybe your monitor definition file for RiscOS isn't correct. > The console driver kept messing the bottom lines up (made them > unreadable).

Or will > it?). The RedHat installer has many bugs. Even the debugging in the installer is buggy! I wonder how RedHat ever got it working! You should be able to select the ppa module straight out of the SCSI host list (yes, it is a SCSI device, with a parrallel interface slapped on the back). You will need to tell it 'ppa_base=0x278' still. A possible speed up might be achieved with ppa_speed_high=0 and ppa_speed_low=3. This may give some performance enhancement, or may cause data corruption. You basically have to try some values to tune the driver to your parrallel port. The defaults are ppa_speed_high=1 and ppa_speed_low=6. > I let the installer carry on installing everything from zip to hda3 > (292Mb partition).

Eek! I was wrong - the installer scans the hard drive for the partitions and works out what's what - it's not neccessary to preserve the names at all, just so long as they're unique! ;) That means that it is possible to use the ADFS hard disk to install Linux (after a few mods to the installer to recognise ADFS drives).

Right, onto the problem... After the thrills and spills of installing ARM Linux 2.0.31 from the Clan CD and a glut of files from ftp.arm.uk.linux.org, I've now got my system booting from the hard disk, but there is a problem. It always crashes unrecoverably (cursor stops flashing etc.) when trying to execute the line: insmod /lib/modules/misc/fpem.o in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit (I think that's where it was, anyway). I guess this installs floating point support, but unfortunately it causes a postmortem and then freezes the machine completely, requiring a hard reset to get control back. Commenting out this line allows the system to boot all the way to the login prompt, but after a successful login the prompt immediately respawns. By booting from the installation disk, I changed root's default shell in /etc/passwd to ash (instead of bash). Now I can login, albeit with the error "ulimit: not found" before the shell prompt appears. Trying to start another shell, such as bash or zsh, and certain programs like adduser, causes the error "Illegal instruction". I assume this is caused by the ARM trying to interpret FP opcodes or some similar thing, so I suspect all the problems are related to my initial problem with fpem.o. It installs ok (automatically) when booting with the installation disks, and appears in the lsmod list as you would expect. All I know about UNIX so far is what I've read on this list and from various things off the web, plus the ARM Linux installation notes. Oh, and poking around myself of course. So, if you can offer any advice, try to avoid the use of big technical words ;-) Thanks!

The saga continues... Well, my Syquest 270MB drive returned today, a month after I sent it back for not reading new Syquest disks (but reading old disks ok). I'll give you a multiple choice. What was the result of this: A) The drive doesn't read any disks. B) The drive reads the old disks, but not the new disks. C) The drive reads all disks. Well, if you picked A, you'd be wrong. Also if you picked C, that's also wrong. B is the right answer! Exactly the same as the first drive. Well, ok, not the first drive, but the second. The first drive didn't have the drive's internal connector soldered on to the circuit board. So, I'm now back in the same position as I was a month ago, except that I have had to pay the postage to return a perfectly healthy drive. I wonder what story Syquest will come up with next? The wind's blowing in the wrong direction? Maybe Saturn isn't aligned with Jupiter? I'm certainly not going to send *anything* at all back to *any* company ever again if it is still under warranty *until* I *receive* a *replacement*. And I suggest the rest of the world does the same! Does anyone else suffer from these problems???

Thanks for that bit of info! ;) Glad I could help. :-) About the ppa.o module, it seems as it is much faster now Linux is installed. I wonder why. I did not use any of the speedups you suggested. I tried to start glint for rpm management , but it needs python installed. This appears not to be supplied as an rpm file. I tried to run some of the x-games (on guy wrote a lot of them, e.g., xsnooker, xcannon, but they all core-dump) (might be because of the display problem). I am interrested in using the loop device, but as I understand, I need losetup. I have been searching for the source for it, but cannot find it. Can you direct me to a location where I can find it?

I just installed ARMLinux from my ADFS partition using softlinks to my ext2 formatted partition. Here is how to do it: First you need some binaries: cp, ln and mv, I can mail these to you, if you cannot get them from anywhere else. Copy these to a msdos formatted floppy Copy the RedHat/base files to your ADFS hdd as RedHat/base/* Copy the RedHat/RPMS files to your ADFS hdd as RedHat/RPMS/* Copy maketree, linkbase and linkrpms to the floppy. These scripts are listed below. Copy kernel to the floppy as vmlinux Copy modules-rpc-1997.09.07.gz to msdos-floppy as modules.gz Start linux with .!Run -bootkernel Follow installation until both Root and Supplemental disk is loaded. Press Alt-F2 Type: mknod /dev/fd0 b 2 0 mknod /dev/hda1 b 3 1 mknod /dev/hda3 b 3 3 mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /fd0 mount -t adfs /dev/hda1 /hda1 mke2fs /dev/hda3. This command is only nessecary if you haven't already initialised your ext2 partition. mount -t ext2 /dev/hda3 /hda3 cd /fd0 PATH=$PATH:. cp mv /bin cd ln /bin cp maketree / cp link* / cd maketree linkbase linkrpms cd umount /fd0 umount /hda3 Press Alt+F1 Follow installation as if you have copied the installation files to the root of /dev/hda3. Do *NOT* format the partition when asked. If you are not using the ADFS disc to install from, you may have to change some of the paths used. ---- maketree ---- mkdir /hda3/RedHat mkdir /hda3/RedHat/RPMS mkdir /hda3/RedHat/base ---- linkbase ---- cd /hda1/RedHat/base for i in *; do ln -s /hda1/RedHat/base/$i /hda3/RedHat/base/$i; done cd /hda3//RedHat/base mv skeleton.c skeleton.cgz cd ---- linkrpms ---- cd /hda1/RedHat/RPMS/0 for i in *; do ln -s /hda1/RedHat/RPMS/0/$i /hda3/RedHat/RPMS/$i.rpm; done cd /hda1/RedHat/RPMS/1 for i in *; do ln -s /hda1/RedHat/RPMS/1/$i /hda3/RedHat/RPMS/$i.rpm; done cd /hda1/RedHat/RPMS/2 for i in *; do ln -s /hda1/RedHat/RPMS/2/$i /hda3/RedHat/RPMS/$i.rpm; done cd /hda1/RedHat/RPMS/3 for i in *; do ln -s /hda1/RedHat/RPMS/3/$i /hda3/RedHat/RPMS/$i.rpm; done cd /hda1/RedHat/RPMS/4 for i in *; do ln -s /hda1/RedHat/RPMS/4/$i /hda3/RedHat/RPMS/$i.rpm; done cd This method worked for me, and it installed all the files in less than half an hour.

We would all like to be running the latest 2.1. kernels but unfortunatly the elves are against us. Until there is a definition for ARM ELF and then patches to GCC, binutils for it we are stufed. ARM have been promising the definition for ages now but so far I have seen very little. The 2.0.31 patches seem to work (give or take some nasties), and I know some stuff has emerged into the 2.0.31 kernels from the 2.1. series - but I doubt its everything you need. As for 2.0.31 - the 2.0.31-9 patch seems to work on the old (A4xx) machines with some minor tweaks, although at the moment the determination of MFM disc sizes seems to have broken as does the ether1 support (which works on other machines). On the positive side 2.0.31 seems to be SIGNIFICANTLY faster on the old machines; I mean shockingly faster; I mean it might actually be usable! And we don't know why.....

The definition is irrelevant. If ARM can't get themselves sorted out then declare an ARM "FreeELF" standard and use it. It's rarely worth sitting on your arse waiting for a large standards type organisation to do something.

Better to use the ARM number and spec for executables and a random number for linking. gnu ld supports multiple link formats at once so it can then link old and new format. > Or we could wait for ARM to get their act together. Every minute you wait another vendor doesnt bother using Linux and/or ARM. We've made a decision not to use ARM almost solely on the lack of ELF tools. Im sure NatSemi and Intel are happy with ARM right now.

You should not call this 2.0.31 *at all* and please refrain from doing so - if you do, then it'll cause all sorts of problems (which I don't want right now - I've got enough stress with manufacturers of computer peripherals at the moment). I'd just like to be given a break some time, so if people could use the correct name, it'll really help (and it'll also help you). > I don't know if it's supposed to be working yet (what with being v0.0.0) > but here's the output I get when I try insmod cumana_2_mod.o, just incase > it's useful. The answer is that it is not supposed to be working just yet. The code has definitely moved on quite a bit since the copy that is on the FTP site, so there's little point in modifing it - you'll just redo what I've been working on, and probably wrongly. I have a master plan concerning the AcornSCSI, Cumana SCSI II, and some similar cards - it's called `lets do it the right way and modularise it'. ;) I think you'll also find that that version of the driver contains no functions to read data from the card... Command 0x12 is the IDENTIFY command that asks the device what it is. It naturally returnes a block of data, which isn't being transferred anywhere useful. The later driver (unfinished, but nevertheless more unfinished than the previous) can read data, but slowly (the CumanaSCSI II card seems to have a problem if you read too much data from it without noticing that it has aborted the data transfer - the net result is that you check for interrupt, read a byte and repeat. It's a mega turkey)! Anyway, next preliminary driver version next weekend (0.0.5) should do something more useful, maybe even usable! _____ |_____| ------------------------------------------------- ---+---+- | | Russell King rmk@ecs.soton.ac.uk --- --- | | | | http://www.arm.uk.linux.org/~rmk/home.html / / | | +-+-+ --- -+- / | THE developer of ARM Linux |+| /|\ / | | | --- | +-+-+ ------------------------------------------------- /\\\ | From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Tue Sep 23 01:57:14 1997 Return-Path: Received: from nic.funet.fi (nic.funet.fi [128.214.248.6]) by odie.barnet.ac.uk (8.8.6/8.8.6) with ESMTP id BAA08026 for ; Tue, 23 Sep 1997 01:57:13 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2] EHLO vger.rutgers.edu ident: root [port 44069]) by nic.funet.fi with ESMTP id <18036-30106>; Tue, 23 Sep 1997 03:56:14 +0300 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <973164-273>; Mon, 22 Sep 1997 20:46:08 -0400 Received: from punt-2b.mail.demon.net ([194.217.242.6] HELO punt-2.mail.demon.net ident: IDENT-NOT-QUERIED [port 50861]) by vger.rutgers.edu with SMTP id <973146-269>; Mon, 22 Sep 1997 20:45:53 -0400 Received: from etoncomp.demon.co.uk ([158.152.60.160]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa0515854; 22 Sep 97 18:26 BST Received: from [192.168.2.233] by etoncomp.demon.co.uk (Netscape Mail Server v2.02) with SMTP id AAA316 for ; Mon, 22 Sep 1997 16:47:54 +0100 Date: Mon, 22 Sep 1997 16:48:45 +0000 From: Garan Jenkin MSS Reply-To: garanj@etoncomp.demon.co.uk Subject: Re: Latest kernel in development?

They come with a kernel, so get a kernel ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk//Mirrors/sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/kernel/v2.0/linux-2.0.30.tar.gz then a patch from the arm-linux ftp site. Unpack the kernel into /usr/src cd /usr/src tar xvzf linux-2.0.30.tar.gz and patch it... gunzip -c patchfile.gz | patch -p0 then cd /usr/src/linux and read the README You need to create the symbolic links, configure the kernel and do a make dep to create all the necessary links in the tree. You can then delete it all except for the /usr/src/linux/include dir! This is all from memory (albeit fairly recent memory!) to you#ll have to change things a bit. Good luck! Ale.

I also managed to do a make menuconfig and used it to configure the kernel I want. I made a make dep; make clean; make zImage make zImage wouldn't work (complained about not being able to find a rule for /usr/src/linux/vmlinux). I am not that familiar with makefiles so I tried to do a make all (which should make a uncompressed kernel). It did make an uncompressed kernel. :-) So far so good. I typed make modules (as I did configure som of the extensions as modules) and it failed to compile soundcard.c. It seems as the sound-config.h was never created and could therefore not be included, leading to lots of errors. My sound settings where to enable sound as a module, enable VIDC sound and the usage of /dev/audio and /dev/dsp. I did visit the setup menu for the other sound-cards, but they appeared only to be for dos-boxes so I typed N for each card, which made the configure script say something about useless options after which it was overwritten by menuconfig screen. So, I guess that I may have misconfigured the sound thingy, but the make zImage should work, right (the README.arm file said it should). I was wondering, should ARMLinux really occupy 280Mb (include kernel source) if one was to install everything on the ftp-site? I only have 10Mb left on my 292Mb partition. I was hoping it would consume less...

Check that the kernel is using it ('cat /proc/meminfo' will do). If you have some set up and it appears that the kernel is not using it, then check your /etc/fstab. You should have a line like (example): /dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0 If not, then please add one, and then do 'swapon -a'.

X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk Status: RO Hi, I was just trying to install Angband 2.8.2 but failed. After setting up the config,h-config, Makefile files I let it compile (make). It failed as it could not determine what speed_t was. This was when including termcap.h. Following all the #include's that termcap.h did I finally found speed_t in asm/termbits.h. Strange, I thought, as it was defined but it still failed. I then discovered that it was not /usr/include/termcap.h that gave the problem, but /usr/arm-unknown-linuxaout/include/termcap.h! What is this arm-unknown-aoutlinux directory about? And why does it contain include-files that doesn't work? Well, I rename that directory so gcc wouldn't find it and recompiled. I managed to compile everything, but I could not link. Among the link errors was the symbol __strtol_internal, that could not be resolved. It is defined in /usr/include/stdlib.h so I should think it would be in a library, too, right? The third strangeness is about /usr/include/ncurses.h. It seems to include a file that should be included as . Should the files in /usr/include/ncurses/ be copied to /usr/include/ ? (which does seem correct, even as it would overwrite the old curses.h) I am confused, what is correct and what is not?

The solution was to compile my own kernel and modules (but the config for th kernel does matter). My third attempt at compiling the kernel produced the kernel that would allow xdm to start properly. I am not sure what made the kernel work, but I did disable version information on the modules and some other net-stuff. My only problem is now that during boot, all sorts of modules problems seem to happen (non-fatal). None of the modules produced do match the kernel (allthough they will load happily, even slip and ppp) and it doesn't look good during boot (produces about 8-10 lines of warnings from depmod). I also get messages about some missing modules (net-fp-4 and net-fp-5) later in the boot stage, I think just after entering init-level 3. Should I worry about these warnings/errors?

Since we do not yet have ELF, libc 5 is a no-go. Though, since we wll presumably skip libc 5 and move straight to libc 6 once we do have ELF, a case could be made for doing an a.out libc 5.

I think that someone did try glibc, and I think that they got it going with static libraries.

Nobody at ARM aside from Earnshaw has seemed more than slightly concerned by the prospect of having standards written by other people, and at least one person I've spoken to there seemed to view it as (a) inevitable and (b) not necessarily that much of a bad thing. I've had somebody else mail me who's interested in working on ELF. Haven't had time to reply to them yet, admittedly (bizarrely, due to being too busy working on NetBSD for the ARM) but I'll get around to it soon. p.

You must run `make dep' in the linux subdirectory (the top of the Linux kernel tree). If this is what you did, you may have a broken make or shell. Which versions are you trying to use? > also do I need a loader to get ArmLinux running on my DEC ebsa-110? > anyone who has actually got this running please mail me some ideas on how > this was accomplished.. You only need the bootp loader to load the kernel image at 0x8000, and a serial console attached to COM2. Kernel messages appear on COM2. > I have been trying to do several diffrent things with it.. I have a bootp > server setup for it, and it now knows what ip it is assigned to use.. What you want to do is to also set up tftp. The bootp loader first of all asks the bootp server for it's IP address and then contacts the tftp server to obtain an image to execute. All that you need to do is to put the kernel on your bootp server, such as (in my case): /var/boot/caramon/vmlinuz Then, in your bootp configuration file: rp=/var/boot/caramon specifies the root directory for the kernel once it's booted hd=/var/boot/caramon specifies the location of the boot images bf=vmlinuz specifies the name of the file to obtain. I actually have a kernel directory, which contains symbolic links to the actual location of the kernels (in the per-machine directory): /var/boot/kernels /var/boot/kernels/caramon -> /var/boot/caramon/vmlinuz In my bootptab file, I have :bf=caramon:hd=/var/boot/kernels:rp=/var/boot/caramon: This means that all the kernels are visible from the machine while it is running, and you can still keep tight security on the tftp server. BTW, /var/boot/caramon (or whatever) should at some point contain a root filesystem for the EBSA, and in the above examples, caramon is the machine name that I allocated my EBSA. _____ |_____| ------------------------------------------------- ---+---+- | | Russell King rmk@ecs.soton.ac.uk --- --- | | | | http://www.arm.uk.linux.org/~rmk/home.html / / | | +-+-+ --- -+- / | THE developer of ARM Linux |+| /|\ / | | | --- | +-+-+ ------------------------------------------------- /\\\ |
