I'm still not having a great deal getting Fiasco + hello running. I opted for the slash and burn technique and reinstalled RedHat 6.2, downloaded fresh from the cvs server (10 July 2000) and tried to build from there. The only snag that I hit that I was not sure about was when compiling oskit10, the file oskit10/freebsd/src/lib/libc/i386/gen/alloca.S did not want to compile. There was, however, a comment in oskit mailing list suggesting that a fix ("jmp %edx " changes to "jmp *%edx"). I've appended a script at the end of this mail that make the other small changes that I needed to build. Now that it is built, it crashes at boot time: RMGR: loading (hd1,1)/fiasco/sigma0 RMGR: detected new-style DD-L4 RMGR: starting (hd1,1)/fiasco/main -nokdb proto=0x10128c Welcome to Fiasco!
