OK. Seeing as things were a pretty big mess, here's what I did:
(From trunk directory:)
rm -rf linuxboot/*
svn up linuxboot
mv linuxboot/misc/linux-config linuxboot/misc/linux-config.49rc5
svn up -r2985 linuxboot/misc/linux-config
make download
Most packages were already downloaded, but it seems that a few, including
the kernel, were updated with new versions.
Finally, I used my modified compile line as per my previous e-mails to
complete compile:
CFLAGS="-march=i686" make -j 4 CC=gcc44 iso
The build made it to the linux package "make oldconfig" section and
prompted me *lots* of times. I pressed <ENTER> for each of them and the
compile continued. Resulting .config attached. [NOTE: Not attached. With
it attached, the message is too big to make it to the list. Ask if you
want it.]
The kernel built successfully. I performed my other magic necessary to
compile the entire ISO successfully, as covered in other e-mails (compile
DOSEMU with different compiler and add a line to the Makefile of pciutils)
and eventually got a completed linuxboot.iso.
The results I achieved were different, however. I'm testing this from
home, so I don't have access to the Unattended server. When the CD
prompts to override the network defaults, I press Y and switch to console
2 to load the modules manually.
Using the precompiled Unattended 4.9rc5 CD on an 8183, I can type
"modprobe libata; modprobe ata_piix" and I get the oops. Using the
freshly compiled one from above, it does not! However, simply booting the
freshly compiled CD on one of the other machines creates an oops, and
before the kernel is done loading, so the important part scrolls right off
the screen and I can't switch consoles...
I think what I'm going to do next is start with the same kernel as a 4.8
CD (2.6.29.1) and modify the linuxboot Makefile to download and compile
it, and use the config-linux from 4.8 as well. I will then see if that
creates a 100% functional CD.
This is really weird. Like I said, I can boot plenty of other Linux
systems on all of this hardware 100% correctly. What is so different
about Unattended?!?
