Subject: Custom 1.7.118 fails to boot properly
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
I've trying to customize 1.7.118, add eepro100.o and set IP addr etc.
But upon ./builtit.s and ./install.s the boot fails this way ...
Where there should be a second and third INIT: on screen I get:
.
INIT: v2.60 booting
mount: mount point /proc does not exist
[: 3924000: unknown operand
then complains about No RAM for /usr ... even though there is
64MB (and 48MB on another PC I tried)
and /usr fails to install, so prompt is not too useful.
I've tried this many times for almost two days and it always fails this
way. Without changes, buildit.s fails -1 sector, deleting dmsdos.o (?)
allows it to finish, and the ./install.s does boot ok. So slightly
changing settings.s and rc.custom.gz makes it fail??
After many problems (bzip2 versions bash/ash etc.) I finally booted the
1.7.118 floppy and worked under it to unpack, build, and install. I also
searched the archive for similar problems and found none. I deleted all
the pcmcia stuff, OK?
What could be going wrong? Thanks for any insight! I haven't tried
customizing previous versions, just used them as is. Is it a problem just
with 1.7.118?
