X-Nntp-Posting-Host: quads.uchicago.edu Message-ID: <DuC60r.8nD@midway.uchicago.edu> Sender: news@midway.uchicago.edu (News Administrator) Organization: The University of Chicago Date: Wed, 10 Jul 1996 16:34:03 GMT Lines: 32 how do i get linux/ELF emultation running? if i need to upgrade to 2.2, can someone give me a very general overview of how to do that? i've tried (a) getting the binary distribution and installing it (b) getting sources and doing make world (c) installing from floppy install. none of these have worked at all. i am not interested in upgrading, to be precise, a fresh new install would be fine. details: (a) left me with a completely disfunctional system since, i think, a lot of things change in /etc/ and they were not updated. i might try this again.... (b) make world completely did not work. errors like ld does not understand -O option led me to believe that make world for 2.2 was not meant to be done in 2.1 environment... (c) 2.2-960612 snapshot install floppy won't work with any of my 4 ethernet cards (DEC 21040 based SMC/2 NEx000's/3c509) (no probe for ep, both ed's timeout, and de gives no errors and is probed, but is not pingable, and lights do not blink). 2.1-R install floppy won't get passed changing to /pub/FreeBSD/2.2-960612-SNAP dialogue, or else bails saying it can't find the root image (which lead me to believe 2.2 was not meant to be installed using 2.1R boot floppy) (de works fine with the 2.1 kernel). i'd love to read some documentation on the subject, but couldn't find any. there is a bit about an upgrade optoion in the 2.2-SNAP directory, but (jordan) there was absolutely not a word about what to actaully do to run this upgrade? (help!) thanks, steve
