I remembered there is part of the boot loader code is written in assembly, but I couldn't find it here... I may be had a bad memory... Thanks Sam.

Re: fd_set

Now im your basic programmer, so the only thing i can relate fd_set to
are the file descriptors (bit array i think) which are declared in the
select function. select is used for basic input/output channel control.
So by saying that -
1) perhaps the file that is being built is missing the sys header file,
sys/types.h (if im wrong somebody correct me). I have ended up fixing
#include and #define typos in programs due to an unsuccessful build
which seems to be common, so maybe this may be your case also.
2) there might be something wrong with the header file itself, like
fd_set not being declared.
oh well - like i said -im your basic c/kernel coder, but this is what i
would check out if i was thrown into your shoes.
Hi
Checkout src/sys/sys/select.h
The fd_set structure is defined on line 71
typedef struct fd_set
{
__fd_mask __fds_bits[_howmany(FD_SETSIZE, _NFDBITS)];
} fd_set;

The game runs alittle slow and sluggish so i figured it didnt have hardware acceleration. So i need to enable AGP. but then it dawned on me..im not running an agp card.. im running PCIe (PCI Express, Asus Geforce 6600GT) So my question is do i need to load some sort of PCIe driver? How can i get the game to run smoothly and not sluggish? Any suggestions are welcome!

ctags with recursion and sort
