Hello:
Well to continue the documentation process.
I have successfully compiled a working bzImage with the resulting file
located in
/home/andrewa/freevms/linux/arch/i386/boot
We need a little super user action,
su
cp /home/andrewa/freevms/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
While were at it, I copied also over the srm-logo.xpm.gz file
cp /home/andrewa/srm-logo.xpm;gz /boot/grub
Might as well start the transformation process
Let's try to load the sucker
Edit /vi
/boot/grub/grub.conf
New settings that kinda don't work
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/srm-logo.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-8)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinux-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img
title FreeVMS 0.0.48
root (hd0,0)
kernel /bzImage root=/dev/hda2
Note: the hdd=ide-scsi option is a left over setting from my CDROM not the
actual hard drive
It loads to a point then the VFS starts complaining about unable to mount
root
I'll provide more details later
So now I'm stuck and about to dive into file system basics 101.
I hope that ext3 file system is supported?
Andrew
