- Folks familiar with the SLS Linux distribution:
-
- Around Dec. 2 Time frame, changes were made to the tsx-11 SLS dist. I
- ftp'd files starting on 24 Nov, finishing up around the first of Dec.
- After I installed the system, I rebuilt Linux (to test gcc), and it seemed
- to build ok. Then, I realized the files in SLS were rearranged to reflect
- the latest SLS distribution, and that some patched files were added. I
- attempted to ftp the files that had dates newer than Nov 24 (most of a.. and
- b..), after which I wiped the old stuff off my disk and repartitioned
- /dev/hda2 to 64mB. I followed the automated installation which seemed to go
- OK. I got X up and running. I made some changes to the Makefile for linux
- and started to build the system. The kernel compiled OK, and for some
- strange
- reason, GCC appears to lock up when compiling tty_io.c. I waited over an
- hour, hearing access noises from my IDE drive, but I couldnt even login
- to another VC. SIGH. Ctrl-Alt-Del is the only way out. I followed the
- directions in the README where Larz points out that links must be made.
- Configuration: 386/40 4MbRam, 110Mb IDE. I am not sure how to tell what
- release I have, but I think I have 0.98p5-40. (motd). I have AMI advanced
- chipset (OPTI), and I have tried wait states, non-turbo mode etc.
-
- Any Ideas ? there must be a 'pragma' I can set to allow me to see what GCC
- is doing when it 'locks up'.
-
- I may be doing something terribly wrong..... ;(
