I have another question. Rather than using a ramdisk as the root filesystem, I'd like to use my filesystem on /dev/hda3. So, I used this grub.conf, which I believe will use /dev/hda3 as the root fileystem:
title L4Linux-2.4 kernel (hd0,0)/boot/drops/rmgr -sigma0 modaddr 0x2000000 module (hd0,0)/boot/drops/main -nokdb -nowait -serial_esc -comspeed 115200 -comport 1 115200 -comport 1 module (hd0,0)/boot/drops/sigma0 module (hd0,0)/boot/drops/vmlinuz.V2 root=/dev/hda3
The results are a standard boot (until kernel talks to disk) and dmesg displaying:
..... ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq15 hda: ide-disk driver hda: lost interrupt hda: host protected area => 1 hda: lost interrupt
Add l4irqack=linux to the vmlinuz.V2 line (the other two happen to be in my menu.lst, they should not harm): module (hd0,0)/boot/drops/vmlinuz.V2 no-scroll no-hlt l4irqack=linux root=/dev/hda3
Additionally, I tried to boot up with regular ramdisk as the filesytems and mounting /dev/hda3 and then chrooting over, but that fails with a :
FATAL: kernel too old
message.
Grep'ing through /sbin shows that this may come from ldconfig (or reiserfsck, which is statically linked). What distribution is installed on the disk?
2. Is it typical for keyboard mappings to be wrong with l4linux? For example, my forward slash is now shift-7 and my dash is forward slash.
This sound like a perfectly valid german keyboard layout. Nothing wrong with that. :) (I should change this for the RAMdisk though...)
3. Has anyone seen the FATAl: kernel too old message before? Who is the kernel to old for, the filesystem?
Sound like libc for me currently, I'll try digging around a bit to get this reproduced...
I apologize if these questions are inappropriate,
