Hello all
don't be to happy yet :(
I did find out a few things to patch the kernel but now i am stuck.
the one change i adapted wass __initfunc -> __init
and the kernel commandline parameters can now be put in the
different routines with
routine_setup
[
definition
]
__setup ("whatever=", routinesetup);
Then i changed a little in the rd.c mainly to get the assignment of
free inodes adapted to the now usual form ( where the same
changes they made to the part outside the patch)
The Kernel compiles without a problem (1 warning about an unused
variable)
Booting is OK untill minix:2048i 6144b 68fdz ......ms
then follows
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
000000c printing eip c81 and a core dump.
I assume that there is a problem with the stack as this happens at
point where the routine rc.mkminix returns and doesn't arrive in the
calling programm rd.c
I will put the dif files , a 486er compiled kernel and rd.c (2.4)
rd.mkminix.c and /init/main.c on a geocities page
http://www.geocities.com/lrp_eric/2_4/
any suggestions ? My fingers itch but i do not have much c
experience beyond small routines, that are easy to debug.
Debugging a Kernel that stops at boot is rather a problem for me ;)
Greetings Eric Wolzak
