Hello from Gregg C Levine
Not dead, just in hibernation. Anyone remember the line Doctor Who told
Harry, in "Ark in Space"? Well that's the status of this list. Besides, I'm
still mentally chewing over the details for the Project of the Century, for
using the ELKS distribution.

Hi,
I'm still around, lurking, not developing much with ELKS.

asmutils - Linux 2.4.18

[h-peter recktenwald]

hi...

found some funny differences w Linux 2.4.18 kernel wrt its predecessors 
where, for instance, the 'umount' system call doesn't work on devices 
and mountpoints, any more, but, only on the device names.

i.e, some systemcalls' names were silently changed, previously valid 
names assigned to different(ly operating) new/old syscalls.

I found this when trying the "eject" program from asmutils which was 
non functional w. 2.4.18. The patch cures the problem:
------
; patch eject.asm for Lx 2.4.18 sys_umount
.eject:
        push ecx                ; mountpoint
        push ebx                ; specialfile
    %ifdef ONLY_CCD
    %else
        test byte[edi],-1
        jnz .opn                ;?; not -ccd, just the syscall
    %endif; <= ONLY_CCD
%if __KERNEL__ < 24; new inconsistency in kernel 2.4.18!	<== !
        sys_umount              ; eject won't work on a mounted device
%else
        sys_umount dword[esp+4] ; 'oldumount' w/ #mountpoint#, only
        mov ebx,[esp]
%endif
.opn:
------

Further, the macro "_xchg" in asmutils' 'system.inc' is not correct 
(which I didn't recognize earlier because I'm using my own version;):

1) ---
 %macro _xchg 2
-%if __OPTIMIZE__=__O_SPEED__
+%if __OPTIMIZE__=__O_SIZE__;
 %assign ea 4
2) ---
@@ -721,7 +723,7 @@
 ;  2 clocks w. reg,reg
 ;      (lea variant wasn't faster, may be cpu dependent?)
 ; 33 clocks w. reg,mem or mem,reg - either case
-    xchg %{1},%{3}
+    xchg %{1},%{2};
-----
btw. the attempts to finding out about the actual addressing mode 
seem useless, "nasm" apparently providing no such means, at all.

Is this list dead?

[halfdead]

Hi guys,

I have been out for too long and now i see that there is no activity on
this list. Is it like dead or something?

Re: Is this list dead?

[Frederic Marmond]

nope, still alive...
working hard!
(for info: if you want to boot a kernel from an already running kernel, 
you can use 'monte' project. Very good! (for x86 only))

nice to know that you still seem just half of what this list is not.
all questions answered, nothing new in the kernel which none understands.

IS THIS LIST DEAD ?

[J.K. Hill]

If its not - where can I get info about porting Linux to an O2 ?

Is there a status of (a) port ? The last thing that I have heard is that the
O200 runs it (but only w/ a modified prom).

That's complete bull - the is no port yet.

If you actually subscribe to this list it doesn't seem as dead ...
