10/25/98 Y2K Solution! 8 Pine Circle Dr., Silicon Valley, Calif. OTC Company "TCFG" 21 st. Century Frontier Group has through several members of their administrative research department leaked vital information about their companies efforts... Everyone was tight lipped and interviews were refused, and through un-named sources we have learned that the technology and software solution are in the process of being patented! In over 1640 trials, using various data systems the use of the new technology and software solved the Y2K problem 100% of the time. This small publicly traded company "TCFG" which is just 3 years old is through various sources now negotiating with the "Big Boys"! "TCFG" the letters to look for..... ________________________________________________________________

I remember me, that Siemens > Nixdorf has canceld a plan to develop BS2000 (V13) with C++. No, Fiasco is not the first kernel written in C++. I can think offhand of at least two other kernel projects using C++: Chorus and Off++. Michael -- hohmuth(a)innocent.com, hohmuth(a)inf.tu-dresden.de http://home.pages.de/~hohmuth/

Fehler beim Booten von Fiasco
by Konrad Neitzel 23 Oct '98

23 Oct '98

Hallo, entschuldigt, dass ich euch damit nerve, aber bisher weiss ich noch nicht genug ueber Fiasco, als dass ich den Fehler selber finden koennte (aber das wird dann ja in der Zukunft vielleicht noch was :) ) Ich erhalte beim Boot folgenden Fehler: main.cc:174: failed check 'space_index_t(i).set_chief(space_index(),space_index_t(config::boot_taskno))' (Hoffentlich habe ich mir das jetzt so richtig notiert :) ) Ich habe mir die aktuellen Sourcen vom Server geholt, und Sie auf meinem SuSE 5.2 System compiliert. (gcc 2.7.2.1) Bei meinem Rechner handelt es sich um einen K5-166 mit 128 MB Hauptspeicher. Boot-configuration ist wie in der Webseite angegeben (einfaches staren vom "hello world" Programm. Beim compilieren ist mir aufgefallen: - nach dem start von make im verzeichnis l4 meckert er, dass er "configure" nicht findet, wenn "." nicht im Pfad ist. - Er meckert in zwei Verzeichnissen, dass er verschiedene .d Files nicht findet. Da keine solchen Files irgendwo zu finden sind, mache ich mir da auch keine weiteren Gedanken drueber. (Auf Wunsch kann ich dies noch genauer schildern!) -Im Makefile unter l4/server/rmgr/src/ hat er als Yacc "byacc" eingetragen - ein solcher existiert in meinem System aber nicht. Ich habe diesen Eintrag einfach in "yacc" geaendert (Falls dies mein Fehler sein sollte, so tut mir das leid - dann wuerde mich interessieren, wie ich den Fehler umgehen kann!). Ich wuerde mich freuen, wenn Ihr mir helfen koenntet. Greetings, Konrad Neitzel -- Konrad Neitzel neitzel(a)neitzel.de

Compilations- und Bootproblem mit Fiasco/L4
by Harald Fritzsche 21 Oct '98

21 Oct '98

Hallo an alle Fiasco-Entwickler und Beteiligte! Ich habe euer FIASCO-Packet -981012- zum Ausprobieren beschafft. Das kompilieren des OS-Kits führt im Directory examples zu nachfolgend aufgeführten Problemen: Ich benutzte den g++ (siehe unten) und SuSe-Linux5.3. gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.1/specs gcc version 2.7.2.1 Hier beginnt das Problem: make[2]: Entering directory `/volumes/v3/HOME3/FRITZSCHE/L4/l4-981012/oskit/examples' ld -Ttext 100000 -L../lib \ -o multiboot-smp ../lib/multiboot.o multiboot-smp.o \ -lsmp -lkern -lmc -llmm ../lib/crtn.o ../lib/libsmp.a(boot.o): In function `_SMP_TRAMP_START_': boot.o(.text+0x29): relocation truncated to fit: R_386_16 _SMP_TRAMP_32_ENTRY_ Alle zum Booten notwendigen Datein gemäß use.html waren erzeugbar. (byacc durch yacc ersetzt) Das Booten (Start von hello) schien erfolgreich zu laufen, aber der Kernel bringt eine Fehlermeldung ohne das eine "hello" erfolgt.: main.cc 174 check failed (sinngem"as) Das passiert sowohl auf einem AMD Proc. (~ Pentium 75, zu Hause) als auch einem Pentium II/233 (auf Arbeit.) Debuggen kann ich mangels zweitem PC nicht. Bin gern bereit mehr Info zu liefern, oder meine Fragen in englisch zu formulieren. mfg. Harald Fritzsche

Portability and bug fixes for Fiasco
by Michael Hohmuth 15 Oct '98

15 Oct '98

Fiasco now also compiles with egcs-1.0 and egcs-1.1. (Egcs-1.1 will whine a bit that it ignores many "volatile"s for asm() statements, but this is not a serious problem; this will be fixed with the next OSKit update.) I've created a patch that contains Kevin Moule's numerous ANSI C++ fixes (many thanks!), some compatibility code for the various compiler versions, a workaround for a compiler bug (egcs doesn't like template functions containing inline assembler statements), and a bug fix for the space_registry_t constructor. This patch will be uploaded to ftp.inf.tu-dresden.de (once the admins have created some free space on the ftp partition :-), and because it's short, I've also attached it to this message. Please note that the installation instructions on the web site contained an error: The "-sigma0" option was missing in Fiasco's command line in the GRUB config file. Thanks to Andrew Thomas for stepping into this trap! Michael -- hohmuth(a)innocent.com, hohmuth(a)inf.tu-dresden.de http://home.pages.de/~hohmuth/
