After compiling the full3 disk image, I tried to boot
it on a standard PII. The kernel loaded fine, but I
got a BIOSHD error when it tried to read init off the
disk. I checked the floppy; the file was perfectly
readable. I then tried to make full3 unbootable so I
could load it using a boot and root disk (why do the
boot and combination images use different loaders?) It
loaded init fine, but init then panicked and started
getty (Aren't programs supposed to panic when they
can't do their job?), which started login, which then
couldn't find the shell. I traced the panic to line
331 of elkscmd/sys_utils/init.c, and the login failure
to the function execl at line 89 of
elkscmd/sys_utils/login.c failing to execute. I
serached the CVS directory and couldn't find a
definition of execl, so I figured it must be a typo
and changed it to execv, but then why does it appear
in so many other programs? I deleted the PANIC
statement from init and tried to boot ELKS again, but
nothing at all came up- just a blank screen after init
finished loading. Please help.
