I've been having a lot of problem trying to manually build a tftpboot linux
setup. The reason I am not using the pre-built 4.6 version is that the
network adaptor the the 100 new computers I am trying to get on unattended
has bug in kernel versions prior to 2.6.18 (I've been working with 2.6.18.2and
2.6.18.3). I can get the kernel to build fine, but glibc only compiles as
verstion 2.5 (not 2.3.5 like the cvs make file). Busybox as 1.2.2 - instead
of 1.1.3, and dosemu as 1.3.4 instead of 1.2.2 (which is the real problem).
The main issue is that with the new dosemu development version, the
/var/lib/dosemu/drives/dosboot.img file comes back as "header lacks magic
string -- cannot autosense" and exits out. I tried mounting the
dosboot.imgand then running mkfatimage (in the build-dosemu directory)
on the files
mounted, which gets me past the magic string error, but then errors out
complaining about no x support compiled in (compiling in x support does not
work either, it runs with no errors, but no display). Has anyone else come
across anything like this? Preferably I would like to get dosemu-1.2.2 to
compile, but it gets lots of slang.h errors (I've compiled the slang-devel
like the dosemu site recomments but to no avail). Is there anything I can
do to fix the dosboot.img file to get it to work properly? Or is there
anyway a new version of unattended can be released with a 2.6.18 or greater
kernel?
Thanks,
Jon Wilson
