[9fans] Pull and compile latest kernel (sys call 53 error)

[9fans] Pull and compile latest kernel (sys call 53 error)

[Patryk Laurent]

Hello,

How should I properly update to the latest kernel on a new install of Plan 9 from Bell Labs?

I downloaded Plan9, ran the "pull" script, and then tried to compile and install a new kernel by running mk install in /sys/src/9/pc

Compilation seemed to go fine, but then I got an syscall 53 error (the error seems to come from "ar", see below).

Thank you,
Patryk

you need to reboot using one of the kernels you pulled first.

How do I find the kernels that I pulled?  They don't appear to be in /sys/src/9/pc

After I have found the kernel, do I with it by copying it into /n/9fat as specified here?: http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/compiling_kernels/

they are in /386 (ie - /386/9pcf).  a pull copies binaries as well
as source.

that should do it.

Thank you, it's working perfectly.
