Hi all,
I am new to Linux and I hope someone can help me solving the
problem. I have recompile the kernel today and then reboot my machine with
the new kernel. However, it fails to boot and display something like:
Loading linux..........
Uncompressing Linux...
ran out of input data
-- System halted
I am using Redhat 6.2 and I have tried to recomplie the kernel few
more times but it still doesn't work. If anyone have idea of what
happened, please give me some suggestion. Thanks!!!

Read the man page on rpm and use the --force (or is it --nodeps) to install
both of them.

Try to use "modprobe sg" instead of "insmod sg" ( without the quotes).

I getting closer. I now have gcc installed and running, but when I try to
compile hello world, I get a compiler error "can't find stdio.h". After the
install, the standard libraries are located at
/usr/i386-glibc20-linux/include. Do I need to put a link somthere, or set
an environment veriable and if so, what is the syntax or where can I read
about how to configure gcc to run.

Hi,
you need also the neccessary kernel header files. And all the libraries
like glibc-devel and kernel-headers.something.rpm .

The reason for that error is that you did not run LILO after you compiled!
Did you make a backup of your old vmlinuz before you compiled?
The correct procedures before you compile are as follows:-
1. backup vmlinuz "cp /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz.old"
2. run liloconf and add an entry called "old" and point it to boot your
"/boot/vmlinuz.old"
3. reboot and at the lilo prompt type "old" and test that it works before
you ever chang/recompile kernals!
4. after you have copied your new vmlinuz you must type "lilo" so that it
can map correctly! Thats why your cant boot now! (must be before you do a
reboot)!!!
You can get over it now by booting from your boot floppy or boot CD and
select install new kernel and it will replace your faulty boot.

This is off-topic for c.o.l.d.system, because the "system" is the Linux
kernel.
I suppose (from the name) that /usr/i386-glibc20-linux/include is supposed
to contain the header files for glibc-2.0.*, and that your system does not
use glibc-2.0 by default. You need the glibc-2.1.* headers, which are
probably found in the libc development package, and should be installed in
/usr/include.

I would like to make my own Linux distribution cd wich I could share
with others.
There are sites on the web, where you get instructions, how to make your
own distribution on your hard drive (like http://www.diylinux.com/ ).
But I couldn't find a site with instructions, how to make your own linux
distribution cd.
I would like to make a distribution cd, wich I could take to my friend,
and install my distribution on his/her computer. Basicly I would like to
hava a distribution cd like let's say Red Hat, just fewer instalation
options.
If you have any relevant links, please mail them to me.

Broacast2000 *uses* X. Not what he asked for. Other than that, though,
it's a really neat program.

Subject: file_operations structure
Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2000 15:46:06 +0200
Hello,
I have a question about the file_operations structure.
In the book from alessandro rubini the read and write functions of this
structure looked like:
long long (or int) write (struct inode *, struct file *, const char
*buf, unsigned long count);
when i tried this in my driver the count argument was all screwed up.
When looking in th linux/fs.h the file_operations structure looked quite
different;
long long write (struct inode *, const char *buf, size_t count, loff_t
*);
can anyone tell me since which kernel this has changed. I use 2.2.14-5.
And can anyone also tell me what the loff_t argument is used for?
Regards Richard Meester
