- Hello,
-
- I'm trying to get ARM Linux to install, and have got the disc sets from
- the ARM Linux web and FTP sites, but I#m having a problem :-(
-
- I've set up a partitiion (number 3 in PartMan) on my Hard disc (ADFS::4),
- and have copied the ARM Linux stuff into ADFS::4.$.Software.Linux
-
- In LinConfig I've set the Kernel location to:
-
- ADFS::Caviar.$.Software.Linux.rpc-2/0/30
-
- (this is the Kernel I got from the web site today - 9/6/97). I haven't
- done anything to the kernel since downlading (ie. I havn't tried to
- uncompress it or anything similar)
-
- I also set the following device:
-
- 0301 *ADFS::4.3
-
- (device 0301 filename *ADFS::4.3 <-- is this right to specify partition
- 3 on my hard disc?)
-
- I used Write Disc to write the root-rpc and supplement disc images to two
- separate DOS discs.
-
- When I double click on !Linux I get the error:
-
- Invalid magic (EA000006) in bmap file - aborting
-
- This comes when the screen has gone to a black background, and appears as
- white text on the background, and also in a standard RISC OS error window.
-
- I hope someone can help me, as this is obviously stopping me from getting
- Linux running on my Risc PC SA, any tips/help greatfully received!
-
- I was thknking that it seems like I need to write something to the
- hard disc partition that has been set aside for ARM Linux, but there
- doesn't seem to be any software about to do that.
-
- Hope someone can come up with an idea! Thanks,
-
