Skarzynski) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd Subject: [386BSD] Help! Problems getting compiled kernels to work. Message-ID: <andre.28@maties.sun.ac.za> Date: 30 Nov 92 10:29:47 GMT Article-I.D.: maties.andre.28 Sender: news@hippo.ru.ac.za Organization: Electronic Engineering, University of Stellenbosch, South Africa Lines: 29 Hi, I am new to the 386BSD game. After a year of Linux, I rekoned I would give 386BSD a bash, due to the networking support. My problem is that I cannot get my compiled kernels to work. I installed the patchkit. Configured my kernel, compiled it, installed it and booted. It starts up fine, recognises my devices, but when it tries to mount the root wd0, I think, it prints something on the screen, to quick to read, and reboots. I the message seems to say something about device 1 offset 0. When I compile the kernel with debugging on, and the reboot the kernel the jumps into the debugger, and says cannot mount wd0. When I use the kernel from Terry's new bootables, I have no trouble. I also tried the two-drive kernel, (which is what I want, but with my time zone) and it also works. But when I used the kernel from Rhodes University, quagga.ru. ac.za, /pub/386bsd/unoffical/fromrhodes.tar.Z, it also crashes like my own compiles. Can someone PLEASE helpme ? BTW my system: 386DX 20MHZ 287 NPU, C&T chip set, 2 x MAXTOR XT-1140 MFM hard disks, ET-4000, Wangtek 5099EN tape drive. Any help will be much apreciated. Andre.
