- Currently running 0.96c patch level 1 with gcc-2.2.2 --- no problems
- patch 2 patched cleanly. using Torvald's /usr/src/linux/include ...
- --- compiles okay yes I did a make clean; make dep; make disk
-
- Booting 0.96c patch level 2 get "magic match failed" "Kernel panic:
- Unable to mount root"
-
- QUESTION: In digest482, Torvalds discusses new mount(2) and magic
- number.
-
- Was there some code I HAD to change besides patch 2 to get a new magic
- number on / (root) partition of HD. This partition was made with
- rootimage 0.96 mkfs. Again, 0.96c patch level 1 runs fine from this /
- (root) which is a minix file system.
-
- It becoming very unclear what are discussions (re Torvalds of 14 Jul 92)
- and what are patches.
-
- I will stick with 0.96c patch level 1 for a few days before take out
- magic number check.
