Hello,

I've tried with ext3, and it doesn't work. I'm not sure that grub works
either (I've read about it somewhere in the mailinglist).

With ext2 and lilo (initrd=/bin/sh), the kernel boots. But at some point
it starts to display "puts 6" ..... "puts 16" then it hangs !

And no need to change the source files, just do "make
update_modverfile", then "make bzImage" twice after "make dep" fails.

Zakaria,

Chapter 2

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
