Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 16:28:53 +0200 From: Helge Deller Reply-To: helge.deller@ruhr-uni-bochum.de To: parisc-linux Hi ! Ok, I commited my changes to the bootloader, so that we now can begin to start with the real kernel-work. My changes in the bootloader are not very impressive, and you can consider it as a big, bad hack, but it does itīs job (and that is what counts !!). Later we can try to optimize it... You have to build your vmlinux on HP-UX (with make vmlinux) and then do "make Image". Then you will find the bootable image in /arch/parisc/hp/boot/Image. The new bootloader reads SOM-Files and places them to their Origin-Address, which was given in the arch/parisc/Makefile (currently at 0x80000) and we do not need anymore to write the exec-orgin into the boot-Image (because it will be done by the linker). Currently the only problem I have is, that "make dep" doesnīt work with my HP-UX-Machine, so I do "make dep" with my i386 and have the Kernel-Tree (hosted on i386) connected via NFS from HP-UX. (Could maybe someone take a look at this ?). All compilations were done on HP-UX.... PS: You will see the kernel-banner, a spinng cursor and blinking LEDīs, really impressive :-) Ok, Thanks to you all ! Helge Deller.
