The ultimate HOW-TO

[ComputerScienceStudent]

Hi Adam, so I use the successive entry to work: 

title L4Linux -Linux on L4- 
root (hd0,4) 
kernel /L4Linux_binary/build/l4/bin/x86_586/bootstrap -serial root=/dev/sda5

module /L4Linux_binary/build/l4/bin/x86_586/l4v2/linux26.cfg 
module /L4Linux_binary/build/linux/vmlinuz26 
module /L4Linux_binary/build/l4/bin/x86_586/l4v2/libloader.s.so 
module /L4Linux_binary/build/l4/bin/x86_586/l4v2/libld-l4.s.so 
vbeset 0x117

FIRST: ..because time problems I'll use the binaries from OpenTC: but how to
have a console without Dope? 
The idea of dropping the l4dope line seems stupid.. (*) can you correct the
previous lines? 
Using the "old" l4dope (compiled by me weeks ago) the error on screen is:

l4dope: Did not find the VBE info block in multiboot info. GRUB has to set
the
l4dope: video mode with the vbeset command.

Note that I use this command.. so:
 a. If I use Dope, how to repair the error? 
 b. If I don't use it.. (*)

SECOND: To do the image I'd use the command that you send me: 

cd /tmp/fs mkisofs "$@" -R -b boot/grub/stage2_eltorito \
 -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
 -hide-rr-moved \
 -J -joliet-long \
 -o /tmp/iso.iso 

..but there are errors because I don't have the stage2_eltorito file: 
- The first time I've typed:

	linux-Dell:/L4Linux_binary # mkisofs "$@" -R -b /boot/grub/stage2_eltorito
\
		 -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
		 -hide-rr-moved \
		 -J -joliet-long \
		 -o /tmp/immagine_L4Linux.iso 

	..and the output was: 

	INFO: UTF-8 character encoding detected by locale settings. 
	Assuming UTF-8 encoded filenames on source filesystem, use -input-charset
to override. 
	mkisofs: Missing pathspec. 
	Usage: mkisofs [options] file... 
	Use mkisofs -help to get a list of valid options. 

- The second time: 

	linux-Dell:/ # mkisofs "$@" -R -b /boot/grub/stage2_eltorito \
		 -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
		 -hide-rr-moved \
		 -J -joliet-long \
		 -o /tmp/immagine_L4Linux.iso L4Linux_binary 
	
	..and, then: 

	INFO: UTF-8 character encoding detected by locale settings. 
	Assuming UTF-8 encoded filenames on source filesystem, use -input-charset
to override. 
	Using EVENT000.;1 for L4Linux_binary/build/l4/bin/x86_586/l4v2/events_demo3
(events_demo2) 
	Using EVENT001.;1 for L4Linux_binary/build/l4/bin/x86_586/l4v2/events_demo2
(events_demo1) 
	Using SNDDR000.;1 for
L4Linux_binary/build/l4/bin/x86_586/l4v2/snddrv-es1371 (snddrv-es1370) 
	Using L4RM_000.;1 for L4Linux_binary/build/l4/bin/x86_586/l4v2/l4rm_testcow
(l4rm_test) 
	. 
	. 
	. 
	Using LIBC_00E.A;1 for
L4Linux_binary/build/l4/lib/x86_586/l4v2/libc_be_self_mem.a (libc_be_mmap.a) 
	Using LOADE000.CON;1 for
L4Linux_binary/L4Linux_demo_binary/config/loader_lx_drv.conf
(loader_lx.conf) 
	Using LOADE001.CON;1 for
L4Linux_binary/L4Linux_demo_binary/config/loader_lx.conf
(loader_lx_ore.conf) 
	call to search_tree_file with an absolute path, stripping initial path
separator. 
	Hope this was intended... 
	mkisofs: Uh oh, I cant find the boot image '/boot/grub/stage2_eltorito' ! 

For now it's important that L4Linux starts, then we'll make the iso-creation
works.. Regards, Massimo.
