So I take Julians new boot block. But the machine reboots after loading the kernel. Am I right to set the load address to 0xFE100000 in the Makefile? Is this the only place I have to edit if the kernel is to big to load? Because I have updated from an older patchkit I am not sure, if there are some broken files. Therefor I want to reinstall the original sources. Can someone tell me if this is the right way: cd /usr/src rm -rf * 'install' src01* # like _they_ say in the FAQ 'install' bin-h.cpio.Z # from 'agate' 'install' patchkit-0.2.2.tar # install is something like cpio and tar Did I miss something or did I have then all Files. Is there any 'script for the dumb ones' like the one in the FAQ for installing with the 'fixit'-disk? (that one was great, thank you). Is there any FTP-server with a 'big' kernel including the new patchkit?
