Subject: [9fans] fighting with cpu kernel
Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2007 15:39:33 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7d3530220702201239i404b1685p211e92c8c710abb1@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I've been trying to get a CPU/auth/file server set up lately, but I'm
having trouble getting the kernel to work properly.
I install using my (slightly old) CD, then do a pull -v to get
updates. I then compile myself a pccpuf kernel, copy it to 9fat, and
try to boot. However, upon booting, I get one of the page-filling VGA
error messages with "mkvbe: '/dev/realmode' file does not exist" at
the top. This only seems to happen when I have the line
boot cpu boot #S/sdC0/
in my pccpuf config file. If I remove the "cpu" from that line and
recompile, I appear to get a cpuserver that runs /rc/bin/termrc
instead of cpurc but boots correctly. If I then run cpurc, things seem
to work properly.
Hints? Suggestions? Help?
