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?
- 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...)
- 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,
Don't worry.
