I'd like to get some opinions about the mailing list, and whether the one main mailing list is sufficient. Some people have been mentioning that they are unsubscribing because it has too much activity on it. Currently, everything to do with ARM Linux is on the one mailing list, linux-arm@vger, however we do have arm-linux@tardis.ed.ac.uk (I think it's still active), so in effect we have some 'spare' room. If you think that the linux-arm: a) is too diverse in subject content b) is too busy then please mail linux@arm.uk.linux.org.

Your patch does the following: > > * Changes the help descriptions for the ethernet cards. That's true.

Yes. gcc 2.8 doesn't define __arm2__ or __arm3__ if you give it the -mapcs= and -mcpu= options, so with the old #ifdefs you ended up getting support for no CPUs at all. You do still get __arm3__ defined with -m3, but you also get complaints about this being an obsolete option. > * Removes *all* support for the binutils currently supplied with the ARM > Linux > distribution. Since the support was 50% gone already, this strikes me as little hardship. The binutils with this problem fixed has been available for months. > * Removes the floppy code's ARM architecture dependence. Why, exactly, do you feel this is bad? I'm slightly confused as to which patch you're talking about here. The one I had last week removed the architecture dependence, and your reaction to that was "good". Unfortunately I goofed slightly and the result wouldn't compile properly (and I left out some debug stuff). This newer patch remedies that; I don't understand your objection. > * Slightly optimises the __xchg() function in terms of memory data > space. ... and, more importantly, allows you to compile armksyms.c on a5k machines. > * Unnecessarily changes the decompressor code. > If your compiler can't hack that, then throw it away - it's not ANSI > conformant, and must be broken.

Because the fewer gratuitous changes we have, the less work there is to do with the merge.

(This is actually being written on it using an Amiga A3000). I've got part the way through the installation on my 1st generation RPC 600 but can't find away to actually read the RPMS. BTW I've got everything bar the RPMS from the web/ftp site. The RPMS are in the X-files directory on the Acorn clan cd and I assume ArmLinux can't read this archive anyway but may be wrong. My current setup is RPC 600 486SX Cumana 1 SCSI card 261 Mb IDE 210 Mb IDE 0.5Gb SCSI Sony 2x CD-ROM The machine boots from the SCSI drive which is all RiscOS. The 261Mb drive is 20Mb filecore, 32 Mb linux swap and the remainder linux native. The second IDE is essentially a blank filecore IDE. Basically the installer wont install the cumana_1.o module even though the startup info shows its found the card. Neither will it install ppa.o which means I can't read either a cdrom or a zip disc (I have a parallel version). (Incidentally popping up a term in the loaded and checking /proc/ioports says the system has no parallel port. It does and it works!). Loading from FTP requires a network card which I don't have, as does NFS (otherwise I would have loaded from my PC Linux box). So all I was left with was harddrive, unfortunately this means an ext2 partition and I can't just set up a drive on my PC linux box because of the differing partition tables. Using the installer and the shell I have set up the swap space and formatted the root partition. I can mount them and mount the second IDE using mount -t adfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/adfs but as the boot discs don't have a copy command I can't copy anything off of it. Basically I'm stuck and don't know what to do now. If someone can email me an ArmLinux cp command can I then create a an ext2 floppy (on my PC linux box) and then mount and install it with the boot discs. I can then copy the RPMS across from my second IDE on to the linux partition and then install it! Any suggestions would be appreciated.

In this case, there are two things you can do. 1: if you don't already have instimage or base (which are on the ftp site), it's probably best to download the installation guide I mentioned earlier, since that has both instimage and base in it. It also has some instructions, but ignore these - you've done most of it already and are obviously quite competent enough not to need them. All you need to do is put instimage and base in the right places and copy your RPMs across from RiscOS. I have heard rumours of a linux x-files archive reader, but have never seen it, so the only way I know how to do it is to copy things into zip files (don't use tar - RiscOS tar does unspeakable things to filenames extensions, of which rpms have plenty). Then installation is just a case of using the 'hard disc' option. 2: get hold of 'cp' and 'rpm2cpio' and install the rpms by hand ;-) BTW, nice utilities like cp and unzip (basically everything I thought people would possibly need) are included in the installation guide archive. However, you don't need to create an ext2 floppy, since the bootable kernels can all read/write msdos-formatted discs (and can probably read adfs discs too, but I've never tried that).

This is a problem with ix86 Linux doom too. You just need really up to date DOOM wad files, and they need to be called "doom.wad" not "Doom.WAD" or "DOOM.WAD" or whatever. Try renaming to all lower case before you try anything else; If that doesn't work, check the version numbers on your WAD files. -- James Craig unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Wed Feb 18 02:36:08 1998 Return-Path: Received: from nic.funet.fi ([128.214.248.6] (may be forged)) by odie.barnet.ac.uk (8.8.6/8.8.6) with ESMTP id CAA01519 for ; Wed, 18 Feb 1998 02:36:07 GMT Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:21089 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "root") by nic.funet.fi with ESMTP id <6516-673>; Wed, 18 Feb 1998 04:34:18 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <970897-28533>; Tue, 17 Feb 1998 21:23:45 -0500 Received: from dns1.enterprise.net ([194.72.192.3]:2396 "EHLO dns1.enterprise.net" ident: "root") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <970913-28533>; Tue, 17 Feb 1998 20:59:15 -0500 Received: from micm.enterprise.net (ppp320.enterprise.net [194.72.196.66]) by dns1.enterprise.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id CAA19453 for ; Wed, 18 Feb 1998 02:02:18 GMT Date: Wed, 18 Feb 1998 02:01:03 +0000 (GMT) From: micm Subject: mknod and mke2fs To: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII X-Organization: The Organization Trained To Yap (TOTTY) X-Mailer: ANT RISCOS Marcel [ver 1.42] X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk X-Loop: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Status: RO Here's one for all the experts.....

It brings up some strange messages when applying the patch - how can I log these to a file for investigation? Might the reason for all this be that my kernel sources are on my scsi disc and seeing as I have no scsi support in my kernel (yet) I have to mount it on /mnt so making the source in /mnt/usr/src? / being the initial root and boot discs from the ftp site. Is there anyway of changing the / to being /dev/sda3 once I've booted or editing the boot disk to load up acornscsi_mod.o and mount /dev/sda3 on /? Anyway - that's what's going wrong.

This involved completely blanking the HD to remove an old ICS partition table which was confising the Linux kernel. So I copied the RPMs onto the partition, copied base and instimage. Ran the installer. When asked what I wanted to install, I left all unchecked (i.e. a bare minimum install). The installer went through its install bit (with the bars), asked me which keyboard, mouse I was using etc. Got to the message "Could not find kernel" so I followed the suggestion given somewhere else to do a /mnt/bin/sync. Right. So I should now have linux installed. Now, when I next startup linux, with !Linux -bootkernel rpc I still get asked to insert the Linux root disc. Surely it should now be able to boot from the hda3? Do I need to pass a command line argument to the bootloader or something??

I've uploaded onto the ARM Linux FTP site a new development Acorn RiscOS Partition manager for testing. It is not a completely working version, however it should be able to read the partitioning information for the following schemes: 1) FileCore Linux 2) ICS IDEFS partitions 3) PowerTec partitions The partition manager should allow you to add, edit and delete partitions (however, I am aware of the bug that causes an abort() if you delete the last partition displayed). It will not write the partition information back to disk (or at least I don't think it will - the code is in theory missing at the moment). On startup, the partition manager will open an information window - please read these instructions so that you know what to do when you find those bugs... I should have a working version of the new Partition Manager in a couple of weeks if all goes well.

The errors I get are most of the hunks failing to begin with. Some of the later ones succeed, but nevertheless yield empty files. It also says 'unexpected end of file' at the end. I've downloaded the patch about 5 times so I know it's intact. The .rej files it says it will create when the hunks fail are empty too, so that doesn't help! Any ideas? If anyone has compiled a RPC600 kernel with acorn scsi support compiled in, can I borrow it just to get my system going? Once I have a non-floppy root my efforts at compiling kernels may be more fruitful. Thanks!

That's clearly not true, look at the internal names for all of acorn's machines and the chips and stuff - and remember we had FRED, JIM, and SHELIA in the days of the beeb.

Do I need to pass > a command line argument to the bootloader or something?? AFAIK, there is no parameter you can pass to the bootloader which tell it where to find the partition. The only way I know which works on my system is, when the 'Enter extra arguments:' comes up, type: root=/dev/hda3 This will then cause the kernel to boot from whatever partition you happend to mention (hda3 in this case). Since this started to get rather annoying, I hacked my personal copy of the bootloader so instead of calling an OS_ReadS (or similar) it branches to a routine which copies 'root=/dev/hda3' into the buffer, and then goes on from there. This is cludgy, hacky and horrible, but it works for me. I think there's some other way of doing it using 'loadmap' and the /boot/wotsit file, but I never got round to fiddling with that (esp since loadmap doesn't seem to work on my system). Hope this helps, Phil P.S. If you want more information on how loadmap works, 'man loadmap' should tell you what you need to know if you have the loadmap RPM installed. -- Phil Norman, mailing from Exeter Uni.

On my system, if you create a config file /etc/boot.conf (or edit if it's there) - it should have entries along the lines of : # Linux 2.0.30 kernel { name = "Linux 2.0.30"; path = "/vmlinux"; root = "/dev/hda3"; ramdisk = 0; flags = readonly; }; You then need to run the followind (as root, obviously) : loadmap -R /dev/hda3 -v -C /etc/boot.conf This should set up the boot map files such that when you next boot into Linux you're given the menu of kernels available (using the file above will result in only one entry called "Linux 2.0.30"). I think that's all you need to do - this also then makes the !Linux loader work, which is nice :-).

The 2.0.31pre9 patch is for the 2.0.31 prerelease 9 source code, *not* the 2.0.31 source code. The correct patch file is patch-arm-2.0.31-1997.11.15.gz, which is referenced by the patch-arm-2.0.31.gz link. If this patch file does not work, check how much free space you have on your drive - you must have sufficient for at least twice the uncompressed patch size (in this case, probably need at least 6MB free). _____ |_____| ------------------------------------------------- ---+---+- | | Russell King rmk@ecs.soton.ac.uk --- --- | | | | http://www.arm.uk.linux.org/~rmk/home.html / / | | +-+-+ --- -+- / | THE developer of ARM Linux |+| /|\ / | | | --- | +-+-+ ------------------------------------------------- /\\\ | unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Wed Feb 25 14:29:30 1998 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 OAA30949 for ; Wed, 25 Feb 1998 14:29:29 GMT Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:6441 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "root") by nic.funet.fi with ESMTP id <6474-672>; Wed, 25 Feb 1998 16:28:33 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <970953-32245>; Wed, 25 Feb 1998 08:43:02 -0500 Received: from rs2.hrz.tu-darmstadt.de ([130.83.22.63]:1896 "HELO rs2.hrz.tu-darmstadt.de" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE") by vger.rutgers.edu with SMTP id <971065-32245>; Wed, 25 Feb 1998 07:50:35 -0500 Received: from fb0430.mathematik.th-darmstadt.de (daemon@fb0430.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de [130.83.2.30]) by rs2.hrz.tu-darmstadt.de (8.6.12/8.6.12.1ms) with ESMTP id NAA30214 for ; Wed, 25 Feb 1998 13:38:53 +0100 Received: from fb0439.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de by fb0430.mathematik.th-darmstadt.de (1.37.109.20/Server-1.5/HRZ-THD) id AA178030332; Wed, 25 Feb 1998 13:38:53 +0100 Received: by fb0439.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de (1.37.109.20/Client-1.5/HRZ-THD) id AA035090331; Wed, 25 Feb 1998 13:38:51 +0100 Date: Wed, 25 Feb 1998 13:38:51 +0100 Message-Id: <199802251238.AA035090331@fb0439.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de> From: Ulrich Schwanecke To: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: Linux CD X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk X-Loop: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Status: RO I read > I FTP'd everything, put it in a directory called RedHat, and burnt it into > a CD.
