The ^L is used as a page seperator in GNU source files, so the file is seperated into logical chunks. I am not sure why you posted the Makefiles. They seem to come from the Hurd. The kernel is GNU Mach, the Hurd is the Hurd. So I suspect you were trying to compile the Hurd (not the kernel). I suspect you were doing ./configure make This doesn't seem to work then. We always build in a sub dir like this: mkdir build cd build ../configure make This has the advantage of seperating the object files from the source files. A rm -fR build can be used to purge it. As we never build directly in the source dir, there mightbe bugs preventing it. You seem to have encountered such a bug. It's a low priority to fix but thanks for letting us now that there are problems. > Some other problem that came up, was the locales-stuff, which gave me > at install per dpkg -i of the locales-package the errors found in the > locales_err.log. Yes, there seems to be a problem. I will try to look into it. > For the errors about the hd04 or the hd23, I can't provide a log-file, since > the "cat /dev/klog >/tmp/boot.log" doesn't work.

After "cat /dev/klog > /tmp/boot.log", does it return to the prompt, or sit there? If the latter, what do you press to interrupt it. Note that you can only read it out once. So if you first do "cat /dev/klog", and then a redirection or repeat the command, it will always print nothing. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
