Hi,
writing the Linux-Laptop-HOWTO and Linux-Ecology-HOWTO, I'm
interested in the ELKS project and started with 0.0.77 and
a Commodore C286-LT laptop:
First I took the image.zip file and it worked great out of the box.
But when installing it on the hd I didn't find 'mknod'.
So I took 0.0.78, compiled 'mknod' build the files in /dev and
started with the 0.0.77 boot floppy. But after inserting the
root floppy, I got a message 'pgrnpulling pgrnpulling ....'
ad infinitum.
So I decided to use the 0.0.78 image.zip. This worked for the
boot floppy, but changing to the root floppy doesn't work. It will not
start. I found out the floppy control LED doesn't went down, when
the boot floppy is finished. BTW 'mknod' is still missing.
I tried to make a 0.0.78 kernel than and got this error:
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/elks/arch/i86/drivers/block'
bcc -D__KERNEL__ -O -i \
2 -nostdinc -Iinclude -c -o boot/crt1.o boot/crt1.c
boot/crt1.c:5.25: error: cannot find include file arch/segment.h
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/elks/arch/i86'
make[1]: *** [boot/crt1.o] Error 1
make: *** [Image] Error 2
Cheers

BTW: I set up a page about the C286-LT at
http://www.snafu.de/~wehe/c286lte.html, two weeks ago. To my surprise
from my counter I see approx. 5 visitors each day.
