Elks & SIBO

Elks & SIBO

[Stefke]

Hi,

I tought I sent this one before, but never saw it hit the list....

So here it is again..


I'm new to this list (well, I have followed ELKS a few years ago and tought
it died. but no....;-) ).

I just downloaded version 0.1.0, Dev86 version 0.16.3 and are trying to
compile a kernel.
Now the question : what are the setting I need for a Psion3c or Psion 3MX.
At the moment I'm stuck with the following :

make -C drivers/char chr_drv.a
make[3]: Entering directory
`/home/stefaan/elks/elks-0.1.0/arch/i86/drivers/char'
as86 -0  -o key_asm.o key_asm.s
00266 0001           BB                   0000  	mov bx, #key_map	;pointer
to key character

00000 warnings
make[3]: Leaving directory

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/stefaan/elks/elks-0.1.0/arch/i86'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/stefaan/elks/elks-0.1.0'

Any suggestions ?

Thanx,

Stefaan

OK - what method are you trying, make config, make menuconfig, etc.

I've just got a new psion where I can see the screen so my development
ability should improve.  

As such I haven't done much with 0.1.0 on the SIBO yet but I'll check it
out at home.

The defaults for the make config are a bit confusing for SIBO and I'll
try to get a patch for that.

I'll try and get some patches in and confirm working on my Psion 3c.

Attached is a .config which compile the image for the current CVS
version of Elks and Elks 0.1.0

Compiles with
 Dev86 version 0.16.3
 gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)

gcc -o imgconv imgconv.c
./imgconv wrt_disk.tmp wrt_disk.img
gcc -I ../../../include -o build build.c
gcc -I ../../../include -o mkurlader mkurlader.c
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/pauln/src/elks-0.1.0/arch/i86/tools'

Try make clean, copy this .config in and make dep && make Image.  I'll
see if I can get it onto my Psion this weekend.

Paul,

It compiles fine now (thanx). Got it installed on my 3c. And when I run it
it boots just fine (to fast to read ;-p ). I get a "login:" prompt, and then
it keeps print : PID of init = 1.

I'm using a 512K Flash disk in B: . This has an old image I downloade from
Simon Woods is site a while ago.

Great, I'll get the stuff fixed in CVS.  I'm glad it booted, that is
good to hear.

OK - I couldn't ever get it to work on large disks, I use a 128k flash
disk for mine. However it may work with 512 (I have 1 and 2 meg images)

I suggest you try to grab the 

http://rainbow.cs.unipi.gr/~harkal/ELKS/images/images-0.1.0.zip

And try the sibo image which is more up to date.  The kernel was a bit
bloaty for my psion and I want to reduce the size but I could usually
run a few commands.

If that fails let me know and I'll try on mine with both Simon's image
and the elkscmd image from Harry.

Good luck

Paul

Nope, no luck gives me :

Loading init
Illegal Request
ssddisk: I/O error
dev 380, sector .....


In the meantime I'm having a look at the wrt_img code. Should it be
sufficient to change
#define BLOCKS=2
to
#define BLOCKS=8

and also change the Makefile for the sibo image in elkscmd ?

ISTR I had this problem as well, around the 0.0.82

A quick thought, if you mount Simon's disk image in linux remove init, elks
will fall through to /bin/sh.

I'll try and dig up my last know working image as well.

make config, didn't know ELKS had menuconfig ;-)

Got both 3c and 3mx. 3c can be used anytime (no critical data), 3mx is  from
girlfriend, so have to be carefull with it ;-)

I tried both the version downloade from sourceforge and one from CVS. The
day before yesterday.
