- I would appreciate any help on the following two problems.
-
- 1) For the virtual terminals, the linefeed appears to be interpreted
- as only a linefeed, not a carriage return/linefeed pair. That is, the
- cursor moves to the next line down but stays at the same column
- position.
-
- 2) Defining the root device in /usr/src/linux/Makefile seems not to be
- effective. That is, build always creates a kernel that looks for
- the root directory on a floppy. Make prints out the build command
- and the last argument is my root device (/dev/hda3), but build
- seems to ignore it.
-
- Thanks for any help.
