- I've got 386bsd installed and booting from the hard disk with no
- problems. I can't get it to boot with anything other than the kernel
- it is shipped with though. When I try it just sits there with the
- access lights for the first floppy drive and the hard disk on, doing
- nothing. Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't work, the only way out is to power
- off, boot from floppy, mount the disk and copy the old kernel back.
- Does anyone have any idea what may be wrong?
-
- Another problem appears in the kernel building itself - I get an
- undefined symbol error for version. I got around this by adding a
- declaration
-
- char *version="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
-
- This works, but surely config should generate this by itself. To
- create the Makefile etc. I cd to /usr/src/sys.386bsd/i386.conf and
- type something like "config SMALL" - is there anything else I need to
- do?
-
- All of this is on an Elonex PC 386B/25, a 386SX machine.
-
- Thanks in advance
