I have been trying to launch L4 (Fiasco) and the hello server from a version of grub other than that supplied on the grub-ext2fs-floppy.gz image.
When I take grub from the gnu server, it compiles but when I boot I get hung at:
RMGR: loading (hd1,1)/fiasco/sigma0 RMGR: detected new-style DD-L4 RMGR: starting (hd1,1)/fiasco/main -nokdb proto=0x10128c
Welcome to Fiasco! DD-L4/x86 microkernel (c) 1998 TU Dresden - Jul 4 2000 SIGMA0: Hello! RMGR: Hi there! RMGR running on L4/Pentium (hang)
When I take grub from the CVS server at Dresen, I fail in compilation:
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../stage1 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wunused -Os -fno-builtin -nostdinc -DFSYS_EXT2FS=1 -DFSYS_FAT=1 -DFSYS_FFS=1 -DFSYS_MINIX=1 -g -c -o pre_stage2_exec-asm.o asm.S /tmp/cc0xSXW3.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/cc0xSXW3.s:1189: Error: operands given don't match any known 386 instruction /tmp/cc0xSXW3.s:2109: Error: operands given don't match any known 386 instruction
this is using the latest versions of gcc and binutils (to the best of my knowledge)
montepulciano 502 # gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/egcs-2.91.66/specs gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release) montepulciano 503 # as --version GNU assembler 2.9.5
Might anybody have any advice on how to proceed?
Thanks, james
