The linking of a 2.6. kernel works quite different from 2.4. We did not
try the old-style NSS because
we do not support it. Please be patient for a while, we're planning to
work on a nicer way to get the
kernel into NSS...
with kind regards

Subject: 2.6 kernels and NSSes
I was wondering whether anyone else had built a 2.6 kernel into an NSS
yet.
I used my old reliable SAVELX exec; the guts of it are this:
/* Figure out DEFSYS command... */
/* Requires Class E privileges */
/* First and fourth megabytes: RW, exclusive */
/* Second and third megabytes: RO, shared */
/* Rest of storage up machine size, RO, shared */
dodef = 'CP DEFSYS' lxname '0-FF EW 100-2FF SR 300-5FF EW'
dodef = dodef 'MINSIZE=' || storsize
dodef = dodef 'PARMREGS=0-15'
say dodef
dodef
/* Set breakpoint at 010000: when we get there, savesys and quit */
/* (control is handed to the Linux kernel at 010000) */
setsave = 'CP TRACE I R 010000 CMD SAVESYS' lxname
setsave = setsave || myend 'TRACE END ALL'
say setsave
setsave
When I try to IPL the resulting NSS, I get:
HCPGIR453W CP entered; program interrupt loop
That makes me suspect that maybe 010000 is no longer the starting
address of the kernel.
When I IPL from DASD as usual, I see
Memory: 39808k/262144k available (3118k kernel code, 0k reserved, 1237k
data, 80k init)
So the 4M of space I'm saving for the kernel ought to be plenty.
Before I go tracing the IPL myself, does anyone know off the top of
their head whether the kernel starting address has changed in 2.6? Or
maybe its initial internal memory map?
