Hello FIASCO people,
well, strange things happened. I used the same grub floppy than the one used for my first experiments (that both crashed), and it booted ! really strange...
I tried to run X, it didn't work (my screen power off, surely because of bad values for the horizontal and vertical frequencies, but i am not sure. I'll keep on trying (especially basic modes, like standard vga, and so on).
Then, in a next boot, i tried 'reboot' command and i receive a KDB: unexpected system call and all is blocked (i am still in single machine mode, the cables i need to be able to debug with my second machine are not here yet, and for Michael: no, my machines are not connected anywhere, so remote debug won't be possible). In another test, i tried 'shutdown -h 0', which worked. Didn't try 'reboot' again, will do it this afternoon.
Then, another time, the boot process blocks with this time the message : ipc.cc:169 : failed assertion `! in_sender_list()'
Another strange thing is that it too often check the hd, with a message i never had before : /dev/hda2 has gone too long without being checked, check forced. Really really strange.
Now, little questions : with the rmgr configfile (that i finnaly understood, at first the "glinux" task was not used because rmgr matched it against the configfile, so i had to add a line "task", for it to match the good module), there is a field 'irq'. Isn't it possible to allow only l4-linux to use the mouse-irq, so we can have mouse ?
For my future work, i absoulty need X to work and the mouse would be appreciated (but i can deal without it). Once again, by configuring things correctly in the rmgr configfile, wouldn't it be possible to run X ? seems that people (especially Michael) succeded in running X, how did you do !?
sanx, Sed.
PS : this is a repost, the first message doesn't seem to have arrived, does it ? (i'm sure all those lost mails are preparing something ugly...). Is your mail server running under fiasco ? :) Hope this one will come to destination...
sanx to Michael for his kernel config.
