Earlier this morning I was trying to compile a new kernel to allow for
compatibility with linux and IBCS2. I followed the faq exactly. I placed into
MYKERNEL
options "COMPAT_LINUX"
options "COMPAT_IBCS2"
options LKM
options ATAPI
I then executed the following procedure
config MYKERNEL
cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL
make depend
make all
When I did make all it got to
.<</../ufs/ufs/ufs_ihash.c
and it said it did not know how to make it. I typed again
make all
and it compiled
../../ufs/ufs/ufs_ihash.c
{note: the two files and there paths are not typos but actually when was said
the compiler} it went further into the compilation at which time it decided to
reboot the system. fsck revealed all sorts of corruption and /dev/wd0a was now
unrecognizable and will not boot at all.
What should be done in order to prevent this from happening next time? Is there
a safe way to compile this Kernel without it blowing up?
Also I need to know how I can get the system to recognize the cdrom which I have
installed. I have tried everything except for successfully compiling the kernel.
My cdrom is a soundblaster situated on a secondary IDE interface card. There is
no setting on the card itself for making it a master rather than slave drive.
The port at which it is located is 0x250. In order to give it this port address
I gave the parameter at boot
boot: -c
and then I typed visual and inserted the port address into the matcd0 device.
The cdrom is a 2x speed cdrom.
When I was first installing I did the above and it looks like the kernel
recognized the cd but when it came to the install it said no such device existed
and I had to eventually install it from a msdos partition.
please email me with any information.
