The FAQ has an (admittedly slightly terse) mention of this: http://www.arm.uk.linux.org/armlinux/faq.html#misc002 See http://egcs.cygnus.com/ for information about where to get egcs. You can get binutils from sunsite.unc.edu or tsx-11.mit.edu; look in /pub/linux/GCC or /pub/linux/packages/GCC. You must install binutils before you try to compile GCC. p. unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Mon Nov 2 13:39:03 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id NAA128274 for ; Mon, 2 Nov 1998 13:39:03 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id NAA06856 for ; Mon, 2 Nov 1998 13:37:20 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xmaa05083; Mon, 2 Nov 98 13:37:04 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:6781 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <766-8104>; Mon, 2 Nov 1998 14:15:54 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <154412-6635>; Sun, 1 Nov 1998 23:48:56 -0500 Received: from nexusel.demon.co.uk ([158.152.30.195]:22557 "EHLO globe.nexus.co.uk" ident: "TIMEDOUT") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <154451-6635>; Sun, 1 Nov 1998 23:45:03 -0500 Received: from [192.0.0.21] (helo=fountain.nexus.co.uk ident=mail) by globe.nexus.co.uk with smtp (Exim 2.02 #1) id 0zaIkx-0007Rc-00; Mon, 2 Nov 1998 12:06:47 +0000 Received: from fountain.nexus.co.uk ([127.0.0.1] ident=pb) by fountain.nexus.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 1.92 #1) id 0zaIkc-0001jc-00; Mon, 2 Nov 1998 12:06:26 +0000 X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0.2 2/24/98 (debian) To: Russell King - ARM Linux Admin cc: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: Re: Source tree 2.1.126..

There has been a security alert (on RootShell) about ssh 1.2.26 having a buffer overflow problem. Although the current version on the FTP site is 1.2.20 (rather old), it is probably a good idea to upgrade anyway. Since it may be possible to use the same method on the ARM to gain root access, I have produced a new set of RPMs which should have this hole fixed. Although I'm not saying that there are no holes and that this hole is definitely fixed, I recommend (if you are using ssh) to upgrade to the new version ssh-1.2.26-2i (a.out) on the FTP site. For those using ELF (Netwinder), I think that the SRPM should be able to be rebuilt easily.

Rather than try to apply ever more band-aids to the arch/arm/drivers stuff to fix this up, I thought I'd see what would be involved in actually getting rid of the char1 directory for good. Most of the files in here are symlinks now. Out of those that aren't, quite a lot are Acorn-specific and can move to drivers/acorn/char. These include defkeymap-acorn.c, keyb_arc.c, keyb_ps2.c and mouse_rpc.c. The changes in serial.c seem benign enough that they can probably be applied to the generic version without too much trouble. This leaves keyboard.c and console.c. Both of these have scary-looking console related changes in and I don't know what the state of play is with them. But it seems to me that even if they can't be reconciled with the generic versions at the moment, we could tuck them away in some hidden place (maybe even leave them where they are now) and drag them out with Makefile rules rather than having a completely separate directory tree with its own versions of config.in and Makefile.

At a guess you don't have the required C libraries installed to actually build executables at this stage.

AFAIK, the I've just had another mail about this as well. The standard Cyclone firmware doesn't know about Linux kernels so you need to attach a bit of extra code to the front of the zImage file. You can then load it as binary ("load ") and just run it in place ("call 10000000"). I've attached the assembler source to generate this magic header. You need to do something along the lines of: $ gcc -nostdlib -nostartfiles -o bootstrap.o bootstrap.S $ objcopy bootstrap.o bootstrap.bin and this should leave you with a binary file exactly 32k long that you can just tack onto the front of the zImage with `cat' or something. Also you probably need to take out the definitions of PARAMS_OFFSET and PARAMS_BASE in include/asm/arch/hardware.h - just wrap them in #if 0 or something similar.

Unfortunately, the purpose behind this directory seems to have been forgotten - it was put there as a test directory /for me/, but people seem to have adopted it as their own. It was there to allow me to evaluate the (not so good) fb video drivers against my console driver. I am still of the opinion that my console driver delivers better console performance on the Acorn machines, but I decided to leave this directory there until I managed to get this lot sorted out. The last thing that I want to happen is for this directory to disappear, since then I loose my testbed. However, if someone wants to integrate this stuff into a better location, they can always work /with/ me to do this in such a way that it is acceptable to everyone, rather than just submitting a patch which does a major restructure and kills this directory. I think that some people seem to forget that the source for the patches is my development tree, which does from time to time have bits tacked on to it. Although it is representative of a working kernel tree, these bits normally tack on the side and replace other bits. This means, for example, if you find a program in my patch which tests some particular part of the kernel, don't send me a patch to remove it. The same goes for marked test/development directories. > Most of the files in here are symlinks now. Out of those that aren't, > quite a lot are Acorn-specific and can move to drivers/acorn/char.

Well, seeing as I plan to (at some point) do some more major changes in that area, it would not be a good idea to touch this at the moment. _____ |_____| ------------------------------------------------- ---+---+- | | Russell King linux@arm.linux.org.uk --- --- | | | | http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/armlinux.html / / | | +-+-+ --- -+- / | THE developer of ARM Linux |+| /|\ / | | | --- | +-+-+ ------------------------------------------------- /\\\ | unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Thu Nov 5 11:04:33 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id LAA229683 for ; Thu, 5 Nov 1998 11:04:33 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id LAA04820 for ; Thu, 5 Nov 1998 11:04:32 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xma004818; Thu, 5 Nov 98 11:04:27 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:9268 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <8190-3187>; Thu, 5 Nov 1998 12:02:54 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <154552-5652>; Wed, 4 Nov 1998 21:23:49 -0500 Received: from nexusel.demon.co.uk ([158.152.30.195]:12824 "EHLO globe.nexus.co.uk" ident: "TIMEDOUT") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <155184-5652>; Wed, 4 Nov 1998 21:22:23 -0500 Received: from [192.0.0.21] (helo=fountain.nexus.co.uk ident=mail) by globe.nexus.co.uk with smtp (Exim 2.02 #1) id 0zbMBF-0001QM-00; Thu, 5 Nov 1998 09:58:17 +0000 Received: from fountain.nexus.co.uk ([127.0.0.1] ident=pb) by fountain.nexus.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 1.92 #1) id 0zbMBF-00020z-00; Thu, 5 Nov 1998 09:58:17 +0000 X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0.2 2/24/98 (debian) To: Russell King - ARM Linux Admin cc: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: Re: kill arch/arm/drivers/char1 In-reply-to: Your message of "Wed, 04 Nov 1998 23:51:02 GMT." <199811042351.XAA01143@raistlin.armlinux.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Thu, 05 Nov 1998 09:58:17 +0100 From: Philip Blundell Message-Id: X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk X-Loop: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Status: RO Content-Length: 1519 Lines: 37 >I am still of the opinion that my console driver delivers better console >performance on the Acorn machines, but I decided to leave this directory there >until I managed to get this lot sorted out. > >The last thing that I want to happen is for this directory to disappear, since >then I loose my testbed. No you don't. You still get to keep your console code in arch/arm/drivers/ char and the fb-based one is still there -- it's just moved around a little so there's less duplication. No functionality at all is lost. >However, if someone wants to integrate this stuff into a better location, they >can always work /with/ me to do this in such a way that it is acceptable to >everyone, OK; so how would you like to see it changed? >This means, for example, if you find a program in my patch which tests some >particular part of the kernel, don't send me a patch to remove it. The same >goes for marked test/development directories. I have no problem with you having your own development directories in there. But the way things are arranged now, people who want to use the fbcon code have no choice but to use this "test/development" directory. If you like, you can leave out the bits of the patch I sent that actually delete files from arch/arm/drivers/char1 and then you can keep your sandbox as well but not force others to use it. >The serial.c changes aren't when they introduce bugs.

I just want to turn FIQs off for the few cycles in mask_irq() and unmask_irq() where the IOC registers are being updated. Otherwise disaster could ensue if a FIQ comes in and wants a downgrade at the wrong moment. I don't think this will add more latency than we can tolerate but I'll do some sums to be sure. p. unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Fri Nov 6 22:12:03 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id WAA271558 for ; Fri, 6 Nov 1998 22:12:02 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id WAA09445 for ; Fri, 6 Nov 1998 22:12:02 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xma009443; Fri, 6 Nov 98 22:11:45 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:23359 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <3482-1941>; Fri, 6 Nov 1998 23:06:25 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <154538-16270>; Fri, 6 Nov 1998 15:37:34 -0500 Received: from mail.thefree.net ([195.34.192.14]:1203 "EHLO mail.thefree.net" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <154610-16270>; Fri, 6 Nov 1998 15:24:38 -0500 Received: by mail.thefree.net from localhost (router,SLMail V3.1); Fri, 06 Nov 1998 20:24:22 +0100 Received: by mail.thefree.net from loopback [195.34.195.180] (SLmail 3.1.2948 (Release Build)); Fri, 06 Nov 1998 20:24:20 0000 Date: Fri, 06 Nov 1998 09:56:39 +0000 From: Chris Sawer To: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: Patching 2.0.35 kernel sources Message-ID: <4a7aafa048%root@usa.net> Reply-To: chris.sawer@usa.net X-Mailer: Messenger v1.40d for RISC OS MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Posting-Agent: RISC OS Newsbase 0.60m X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk X-Loop: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Status: RO Content-Length: 1445 Lines: 30 I've just got round to downloading the latest (2.0.35) kernel sources and the ArmLinux patch, but installing the patch was a /major/ headache. The problems stem from the pathnames in the patch file - this is the first line: diff -urN /mnt/src/v2.0/linux/CREDITS linux/CREDITS Therein lies the problem - I didn't install it in /mnt/src/v2.0, which wouldn't have been a problem if both input and output path names had been like this: diff -urN /mnt/src/v2.0/linux/CREDITS /mnt/src/v2.0/linux/CREDITS In which case a simple -p4 would have stripped both pathnames down to linux/CREDITS which would have worked. However, as only one has this long path, doing a -p4 messed up the output file and they all ended up in strange places. In the end, I managed to patch the kernel by removing all occurrences of /mnt/src/v2.0/ from the patch file, but this isn't really satisfactory. The reason I am asking this is that my webpage has a section on compiling your own kernel and if you're a first time user, you're really not going to want to edit patch files. Is there an option on patch I missed (I looked through the man page) or is the patch broken?

AFAIK, the I've just had another mail about this as well. The standard Cyclone firmware doesn't know about Linux kernels so you need to attach a bit of extra code to the front of the zImage file. You can then load it as binary ("load ") and just run it in place ("call 10000000"). I've attached the assembler source to generate this magic header. You need to do something along the lines of: $ gcc -nostdlib -nostartfiles -o bootstrap.o bootstrap.S $ objcopy bootstrap.o bootstrap.bin and this should leave you with a binary file exactly 32k long that you can just tack onto the front of the zImage with `cat' or something. Also you probably need to take out the definitions of PARAMS_OFFSET and PARAMS_BASE in include/asm/arch/hardware.h - just wrap them in #if 0 or something similar.

Apparantly not - patch 2.5 and on which are POSIX compliant appear to use both of them. My recomendation is to keep an old copy of patch around (since the old patches are going to be there for a long time), and I'm sure over time people will create patches to accomodate the new POSIX compliant patch. I will not be regenerating any of the patches on the FTP site, due to what I see as an incompatable change in patch. However, any new patches will be patch-2.5 friendly. I personally think that this is extremely stupid, since it effectively prevents patches that are already out there from being applied with a new patch. Why didn't they do a Microsoft and change the patch style as well? If it's one thing that patch really /needs/ it's consistency. _____ |_____| ------------------------------------------------- ---+---+- | | Russell King linux@arm.linux.org.uk --- --- | | | | http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/armlinux.html / / | | +-+-+ --- -+- / | THE developer of ARM Linux |+| /|\ / | | | --- | +-+-+ ------------------------------------------------- /\\\ | unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Sat Nov 7 15:28:05 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id PAA283778 for ; Sat, 7 Nov 1998 15:28:04 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id PAA11775 for ; Sat, 7 Nov 1998 15:28:03 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xmaa11771; Sat, 7 Nov 98 15:27:56 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:51056 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <2336-6221>; Sat, 7 Nov 1998 16:25:42 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <154090-16270>; Sat, 7 Nov 1998 09:23:29 -0500 Received: from snowcrash.cymru.net ([163.164.160.3]:1328 "EHLO snowcrash.cymru.net" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <154088-16270>; Sat, 7 Nov 1998 09:21:42 -0500 Received: from caramon.armlinux.org (galatea-100.cableol.net [194.168.16.100] (may be forged)) by snowcrash.cymru.net (8.8.7/8.7.1) with ESMTP id OAA21413; Sat, 7 Nov 1998 14:22:46 GMT Received: from raistlin.armlinux.org (raistlin [192.168.0.3]) by caramon.armlinux.org (8.7.4/8.7.3) with ESMTP id JAA22721; Sat, 7 Nov 1998 09:28:28 GMT From: Russell King - ARM Linux Admin Received: (from linux@localhost) by raistlin.armlinux.org (8.7.4/8.7.3) id JAA01188; Sat, 7 Nov 1998 09:29:31 GMT Message-Id: <199811070929.JAA01188@raistlin.armlinux.org> Subject: Re: Sendmail / pppd To: rob.davis@oaci.org Date: Sat, 7 Nov 1998 09:29:31 +0000 (GMT) Cc: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu In-Reply-To: from "Rob Davis" at Nov 6, 98 11:16:46 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk X-Loop: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Status: RO Content-Length: 1344 Lines: 26 Rob Davis writes: > How do I configure sendmail to send to my ISP's mail server instead > of trying to resolve each address individually?

If you install the sendmail-cf package, then you should find a set of sendmail configuration files (can't remember where, but do an rpm -ql sendmail-cf to get a list) which you can modify to produce your configuration. > Also, I want to find out how to check in a shell script whether > the ppp connection is active to run popclient followed by > sendmail -q followed by ppp-off.

Maybe the description for building a cross-compiler (host: i386-linux, target: arm-linux-elf) that compiles 2.1.125 is useful. It's on ftp://lrcftp.epfl.ch/pub/people/almesber/psion/xdev-0.README There are also pre-compiled binaries for that cross-compiler. Note that they expect to reside at a somewhat unusual location (/scratch/psion/xdev). Finally, this has only been tested for kernels and stand-alone programs. I don't have the slightest idea what happens if you add any type of libc to the equation. - Werner -- _________________________________________________________________________ / Werner Almesberger, DI-ICA,EPFL,CH werner.almesberger@lrc.di.epfl.ch / /_IN_R_131__Tel_+41_21_693_6621__Fax_+41_21_693_6610_____________________/ unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Tue Nov 10 15:19:24 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id PAA354882 for ; Tue, 10 Nov 1998 15:19:21 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id PAA19906 for ; Tue, 10 Nov 1998 15:19:20 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xma019902; Tue, 10 Nov 98 15:18:56 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:35146 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <309-24171>; Tue, 10 Nov 1998 15:19:05 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <154293-19402>; Tue, 10 Nov 1998 05:28:49 -0500 Received: from snowcrash.cymru.net ([163.164.160.3]:1632 "EHLO snowcrash.cymru.net" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <154557-19402>; Tue, 10 Nov 1998 02:10:38 -0500 Received: from caramon.armlinux.org (galatea-106.cableol.net [194.168.16.106] (may be forged)) by snowcrash.cymru.net (8.8.7/8.7.1) with ESMTP id HAA14941; Tue, 10 Nov 1998 07:19:52 GMT Received: from raistlin.armlinux.org (raistlin [192.168.0.3]) by caramon.armlinux.org (8.7.4/8.7.3) with ESMTP id WAA31005; Mon, 9 Nov 1998 22:58:10 GMT From: Russell King - ARM Linux Admin Received: (from linux@localhost) by raistlin.armlinux.org (8.7.4/8.7.3) id WAA01671; Mon, 9 Nov 1998 22:59:12 GMT Message-Id: <199811092259.WAA01671@raistlin.armlinux.org> Subject: Re: Powertec scsi-II with a quantum harddisk To: janm@control.auc.dk (Jan Magnussen) Date: Mon, 9 Nov 1998 22:59:11 +0000 (GMT) Cc: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu In-Reply-To: <48A214D898%janm@control.auc.dk> from "Jan Magnussen" at Nov 9, 98 04:00:04 am X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk X-Loop: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Status: RO Content-Length: 1096 Lines: 22 Jan Magnussen writes: > Stefan Voss wrote: > > Try to compile a kernel where ptec support is compiled as module and use > > "term=0" as insmod parameter.

What exactly is this Quantum drive (model number, s/w revision etc). RISC OS *devices line will do.

I got the binutils-2.9.1 tar gz from gnu.org, and the patches .14 and .15 from the vger site I also got egcs-1.1 (C-only) from the sunsite mirror of the egcs site, and patches 1.1b from the vger site NEITHER WOULD COMPILE... 1. binutils: applying either patch complains about missing changelog files, and also about missing aoutarm32.c and elf32-arm.c files.. IS THIS CORRECT? configured binutils in another directory.. the only target it will configure for (without bfd configure complaining) is arm-unknown-aout.. no elf there.. IS THIS CORRECT tried to 'make' it. It failed trying to compile bfd/aout-arm.c with FD_RELOC_ARM .. _GOT12, _GOT32, _GOTPC, and _JUMP_SLOT all undeclared.. no build.. WHATS WRONG??? 3. egcs: this patched OK and configured (in another dir) for arm-unknown-elf OK tried 'make bootstrap' as the readme suggested.. it failed trying to compile gcc/gencodes.c reporting SYNTAX ERROR in gcc/config/arm/elf.h :407: 'syntax error before extern' similar failure was seen trying the aout version..

This leads me to believe that X _is_ starting up (it sounds that way from my HD :-) but it won't show. _If_ my X server is corrupt/set up wrong, what else can I do to rectify this? Are there any rpms which I should reinstall to be sure, or is there a specific file regarding X Server setup that I need to edit in some way? I would appreciate any help, because I can't think of anything else to try. If you would like more details please ask. cheers, dooby unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Wed Nov 11 02:41:54 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id CAA365554 for ; Wed, 11 Nov 1998 02:41:53 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id CAA21564 for ; Wed, 11 Nov 1998 02:41:52 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xma021562; Wed, 11 Nov 98 02:41:25 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:8976 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <673-10893>; Wed, 11 Nov 1998 03:41:06 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <155043-19402>; Tue, 10 Nov 1998 17:07:10 -0500 Received: from post-11.mail.demon.net ([194.217.242.40]:38141 "EHLO post.mail.demon.net" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <154736-19402>; Tue, 10 Nov 1998 13:53:52 -0500 Received: from [158.152.149.128] (helo=picarium.demon.co.uk) by post.mail.demon.net with smtp (Exim 2.05demon1 #1) id 0zdJ5X-0005yo-00 for linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu; Tue, 10 Nov 1998 19:04:28 +0000 Received: from loopback ([127.0.0.1]) by picarium.demon.co.uk with SMTP; Tue, 10 Nov 1998 18:36:03 GMT Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1998 18:35:20 GMT From: Alan J Pitcher To: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: Re: Linux Loader Problem (2) Message-ID: References: <3647FF32.BBC5BA0B@bath.ac.uk> In-Reply-To: <3647FF32.BBC5BA0B@bath.ac.uk> X-Organization: None User-Agent: Messenger-Pro/1.73 (MsgServe) (RISC-OS/3.70) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk X-Loop: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Status: RO Content-Length: 404 Lines: 10 I tried to load Linux this afternoon myself (on a StrongARMed RiscPC) and got exactly the same error.

Ok, here's a set of questions: 1. Are you using one of the pre-built kernels on the FTP site? 2. Have you loaded the 8390 and etherh modules? 3.

I think this has come up before and turned out to be due to some bogus thing that had got into the config.h file somehow. I've never managed to reproduce it though. I think that if you run that through the preprocessor (gcc -E) you'll probably find that before the "extern" where it's dying there's something of the form @FOO@ in the file (possibly quite a long way before with lots of whitespace in). If you find out where that's coming from and prevent it, it will probably work. p. unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Wed Nov 11 16:52:58 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id QAA405075 for ; Wed, 11 Nov 1998 16:52:54 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id QAA23517 for ; Wed, 11 Nov 1998 16:52:53 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xmaa23506; Wed, 11 Nov 98 16:52:40 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:8816 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <701-10893>; Wed, 11 Nov 1998 15:53:33 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <154501-19402>; Wed, 11 Nov 1998 06:35:48 -0500 Received: from bits.bris.ac.uk ([137.222.64.1]:4278 "EHLO BITS.bris.ac.uk" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <154825-19402>; Wed, 11 Nov 1998 04:43:38 -0500 Received: from localhost (john@localhost) by BITS.bris.ac.uk (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id JAA13438 for ; Wed, 11 Nov 1998 09:52:29 GMT Date: Wed, 11 Nov 1998 09:52:29 +0000 (GMT) From: John Lindley To: ARMLinuxmailinglist Linux Subject: Re: egcs still no compile.. binutils OK, thanks In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk X-Loop: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Status: RO Content-Length: 872 Lines: 18 How about, if it is so difficult, someone putting up a binary distribution.

This problem is asked here quite regularly. This is a common problem when installing from an out of date distribution on a machine with more than 16MB of RAM. As such, it falls into the 'FAQ' capture range. Indeed, several months ago it was added to the very FAQ on my web site. I shall quote from the FAQ: * I've just installed my system, but I can't log in! I type in the password, and it returns me to the login prompt. Also, see this entry if you get an error similar to 'Bad mode in prefetch abort handler detected' as well as a register dump with the PC at around 0xc40xxxxx. Now, since you have not provided the register dump, I cannot confirm that this is indeed the case using that. However, since I have very intricate knowledge of the way ARM Linux works, I can say that this is the problem. If you look at the FAQ and locate this question, the answer will provide all the information that you require to fix the problem, including a way of getting your installation to boot correctly as is. I hope this email helps you track down the problem. If, however, you are still unable to fix the problem, and you provide information about your hardware setup, which versions/where you got your distribution from and so forth, then I can provide further assistance. _____ |_____| ------------------------------------------------- ---+---+- | | Russell King linux@arm.linux.org.uk --- --- | | | | http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/armlinux.html / / | | +-+-+ --- -+- / | THE developer of ARM Linux |+| /|\ / | | | --- | +-+-+ ------------------------------------------------- /\\\ | unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Thu Nov 12 08:24:57 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id IAA419318 for ; Thu, 12 Nov 1998 08:24:56 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id IAA01456 for ; Thu, 12 Nov 1998 08:24:56 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xma001454; Thu, 12 Nov 98 08:24:30 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:2113 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <858-28602>; Thu, 12 Nov 1998 09:22:59 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <154458-28307>; Wed, 11 Nov 1998 21:39:13 -0500 Received: from post-11.mail.demon.net ([194.217.242.40]:65522 "EHLO post.mail.demon.net" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <154617-28307>; Wed, 11 Nov 1998 18:42:23 -0500 Received: from [193.237.158.26] (helo=jwok.demon.co.uk) by post.mail.demon.net with smtp (Exim 2.05demon1 #1) id 0zdk9J-00030R-00 for linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu; Wed, 11 Nov 1998 23:58:09 +0000 Date: Thu, 12 Nov 1998 00:00:37 +0000 (GMT) From: John Wilson Subject: Problems with Partman To: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII X-Organization: At home . . .

I'm installing Linux from floppies. I only have net access at the Uni and have no CDROM, so even though the FAQ says that it can't be done, I'm trying all the same. Now, using Paul Vigay's instructions and the FAQ for hints on how to do it, I get pretty far. I transferred a number of RPMs successfully to /RedHat/RPMS on /dev/hdb3 (I use a 2nd HD to put Linux on). I also succeeded in un-tarring base.tar to create /RedHat/base. But now I get to instimage.tar. It's too big for one floppy, so I gzipped it and split it over 2 disks, using 'split' in HP-UX to create 2 files, 'xaa' and 'xab'. I tested the procedure I had in mind by typing 'cat xa* > test'. This gave me a file 'test' identical to 'instimage.tar.gz' so I was all right (I thought). However, when trying this at home (I copied the files from the floppies to my normal ADFS harddisk and typed 'cat /adfs/linux/xa* > instimage.tar.gz' in Linux), 'cat' died horribly, displaying some junk and then the following post-morten somewhere randomly on the screen (mid-character even): Internal error: Oops: 2 CPU: 0 pc : [] lr : [] sp : c0d39e1c ip : 00000000 fp : c0d39e40 r10: 00000000 r9 : 00000000 r8 : 00000000 r7 : 00000000 r6 : 00000000 r5 : 00000000 r4 : 00000000 r3 : 00000000 r2 : 0005c0e0 r1 : d7fff000 r0 : d8000900 Flags: nzCv IRQs on FIQs on Mode SVC_32 Process cat (pid: 38, stackpage=c0d39000) Stack: Backtrace: Function entered at [] from [] Function entered at [] from [] Function entered at [] from [] Function entered at [] from [] Function entered at [] from [] Function entered at [] from [] Function entered at [] from [] Function entered at [] from [] Function entered at [] from [] Function entered at [] from [] Code: e2522014 ba000003 e93113f8 e92013f8 e2522020 I couldn't type anymore, ALT+Fx didn't work. Only CTRL+ALT+DEL did. I wrote the pm down on a piece of paper, from which I've just copied it. Trying to reboot with "Extra arguments: root=/dev/hdb3" results in a message "unable to open initial console". Because I had no time to boot from the installation floppies (again *sigh*) I have not been able to try and reproduce the problem. Still, I'm curious about what is happening, so I decided to report the post-mortem on the mailing list. Hope anyone can tell me what exactly is going wrong.

You'll need a program (join?) to put the files back together for you. A very simple C program would do it, but unfortunately I don't have a linux-arm system anymore, so someone else will have to provide it.

All I have to do not is to work out how to use Linux properly!! X worked first time, but I am unable to run many programs from fvwm. I have also tried running them from the command line, but I get the same problem - file or directory does not exist. The strange thing is that all the paths seem to be correct, and the programs are there in the directory taking up space - does anyone know why they will not run. The list of programs that do not work include control-panel, and most of the programs in /usr/bin.

However, through some devious means (using grep), I think (though I'm not 100% sure) that you're using the 2.0.31-1997.11.15 kernel. This kernel is rather old, as are the root and supplemental disks. I would suggest trying again with the latest 2.0.35 kernel. _____ |_____| ------------------------------------------------- ---+---+- | | Russell King linux@arm.linux.org.uk --- --- | | | | http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/armlinux.html / / | | +-+-+ --- -+- / | THE developer of ARM Linux |+| /|\ / | | | --- | +-+-+ ------------------------------------------------- /\\\ | unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Sat Nov 14 22:51:19 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id WAA524054 for ; Sat, 14 Nov 1998 22:51:17 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id WAA02492 for ; Sat, 14 Nov 1998 22:51:16 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xmaa02485; Sat, 14 Nov 98 22:50:46 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:1650 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <10361-325>; Sat, 14 Nov 1998 23:08:01 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <156218-5740>; Sat, 14 Nov 1998 09:05:42 -0500 Received: from post-20.mail.demon.net ([194.217.242.27]:45585 "EHLO post.mail.demon.net" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <156208-5740>; Sat, 14 Nov 1998 09:05:10 -0500 Received: from [158.152.154.179] (helo=mypc) by post.mail.demon.net with smtp (Exim 2.05demon1 #1) id 0zeUde-0003y7-00 for linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu; Sat, 14 Nov 1998 01:36:34 +0000 From: John Ballance Date: Sat, 14 Nov 1998 01:35:33 To: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: still trying to compile egcs.. errors found so far Content-Type: text/plain Message-ID: X-Mailer: Navaho Server Suite 2.00b24/Acorn RISC OS X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk X-Loop: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Status: RO Content-Length: 3678 Lines: 103 Hi folks I thought I'd report my efforts so far attempting to compile egcs-1.1b for arm (make bootstrap) a) line 120 of gcc/config.in needs commenting out.. this says..TOP , and causes a later extern to fail. b) gcc/include/unistd.h needs __linux__ defined.. where *SHOULD* this occur?

Can you try to find out why this happens? I built egcs natively on the netwinder on Friday and didn't have a problem. I wonder if it might be caused by having an outdated version of some tool like sed. >b) gcc/include/unistd.h needs __linux__ defined.. where *SHOULD* this >occur? It should be predefined by the compiler. Can you post the messages you get when compiling something with the -v option? The theory is that the specs file includes "-Dlinux" and the gcc driver creates a second version with the underscores added at run time. >c) later, when doing stage 1, /usr/include/crt0 is reported as having an >unreadable format I guess this suggests I need some other later >libraries.. You can't do `make bootstrap' directly if you're going from a.out to ELF. This is something I forgot to mention in the web page I wrote. Instead, you need to build the first stage compiler by hand (just "make LANGUAGES=c"), then compile and install the C library using this newly built compiler (having first evacuated your a.out libraries from /usr/lib and /usr/include to some safe place). Once this is done you should have a fully ELF-based system and you can go back and do "make bootstrap". p. unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Mon Nov 16 00:29:19 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id AAA214628 for ; Mon, 16 Nov 1998 00:29:17 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id AAA05041 for ; Mon, 16 Nov 1998 00:29:17 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xma005039; Mon, 16 Nov 98 00:28:54 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:26420 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <8642-16605>; Mon, 16 Nov 1998 01:27:07 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <154530-5740>; Sun, 15 Nov 1998 16:43:13 -0500 Received: from post-20.mail.demon.net ([194.217.242.27]:63572 "EHLO post.mail.demon.net" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <154812-5740>; Sun, 15 Nov 1998 15:30:12 -0500 Received: from [158.152.220.239] (helo=kings-cross.london.uk.eu.org) by post.mail.demon.net with smtp (Exim 2.05demon1 #1) id 0zf9SU-0003Lw-00; Sun, 15 Nov 1998 21:11:46 +0000 Received: from kings-cross.london.uk.eu.org [127.0.0.1] (phil) by (none) with esmtp (Exim 1.71 #1) id 0zf9Pd-0000kX-00; Sun, 15 Nov 1998 21:08:49 +0000 X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0.2 2/24/98 (debian) To: Nicolas Pitre cc: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: Re: To all gurus out there...

Some RiscPCs were shipped with the floppy connector in the wrong slot. RISC OS just calls the first floppy drive :0 so you never notice, but to linux, it's /dev/fd1. Simple solution, move your floppy disc to the other connector. -- Matthew Wilcox "I decry the current tendency to seek patents on algorithms.

I have found that rpm-2.3 which came with the distribution (approx. September, with kernel 2.0.35) works, but doesn't understand recent .rpm files. One can compile rpm-2.5 from source, but it gives a broken binary. The problems in the source code to rpm-2.5 surface because the default armlinux version of gcc (for RPC) pads out the overall size of a structure to a multiple of 4 bytes. This touches on a wider discussion about structure alignment, but in this particular case, it seems that only a small patch is needed. The changes below (output of `diff -u cpio.c.orig cpio.c` from rpm-2.5/lib, extracted from rpm-2.5.tar) seem to work for extracting rpms (untested on creation of rpms). Does this look ok?

In fact, the RiscPC is built such that it is impossible to have more than one floppy drive in the system (something to do with a certain wire not being connected up IIRC). I think the problem you're referring to is that some RiscPCs were shipped with a little switch at the back of the floppy drive in the wrong position. Flip it across, and everything should work.

Interesting. That lttle switch is the floppy drive ID selector - it lets you pick basically the equivalent of which slot the drive is plugged into - and if it has any effect then it means the aforementioned select line actually must be wired up after all, since if it weren't, you wouldn't notice which position it was in.

No, that's not how these interfaces work. There is a select line on the floppy connector for each of the (usually 2 or 4) drives that are supported. The switch or jumper on the drive controls which of these lines it looks at to determine if it's being selected. If you configure the drive as unit 1 and the DS1 line isn't wired, it will never be selected.

I'm unable to compile it as I have insufficient memory and it fails on what appears to be the final link. Alternatively, if anyone can suggest a way round this that would be equally appreciated. The "out of memory" error at the final linking is a blatent lie - it is due to the outdated a.out binary format that ArmLinux currently uses. A fix is on my webpage at: http://members.xoom.com/chrissawer/armlinux.html This lets you compile lesstif, which I have done. I haven't had any success in running programs which use it, however - Mosaic compiles but coredumps when you run it, and an organizer program I tried failed with a font error. If you do get it working, I'd be interested to hear from you. My RiscPC's PSU gave up last night - at which time ArmLinux was doing some compiling :-( - I hope it hasn't wrecked my hard disc. That's the reason for this (presumably) awful formatting as I'm using usa.net's web based e-mail.

It depends on which issue of the mother board you have. Issue 1 boards didn't have the DS1 line connected. On my Iss.1 I ran a wire from the FDC chip to the cable header, plus another link for the motor-on signal. It was then able to support 2 drives. Issue 2 and 3 boards do have the DS1 line connected. On my Iss.2 I just plugged a second drive in without any probs. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Bell - peter@foursqre.demon.co.uk - FourSquare Computing Ltd 5 Drome Path, Winnersh, Wokingham, Berkshire RG41 5HB, UK.

Oddly enough, I've built enough floppy intergaces to know how they work. :) Anyway, the drive select lines (of which there are 4, although usually only 2 are wired up) need to match the setting of the jumper on the drive to enable the drive. The A5000's two floppy connectors just have the first two floppy select lines crossed over - i.e. on the 2nd connector, a drive wired for drive 0 will appear to be drive 1 to the computer and vice versa. My point was that RISC OS must be being smart if the drive works in RISC OS and not in linux, autodetecting that it's drive 1 not 0, and the RPC must have both select lines mechanically wired up to actually do that. If it doesn't work in RISC OS, of course, then that whole lot is complete nonsense and you can ignore me. ;) -- James Craig <9606585c@udcf.gla.ac.uk> unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Wed Nov 18 10:18:52 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id KAA594180 for ; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 10:18:47 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id KAA13594 for ; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 10:18:47 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xma013592; Wed, 18 Nov 98 10:18:29 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:1091 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <2756-28796>; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 11:16:49 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <154673-18252>; Tue, 17 Nov 1998 16:00:03 -0500 Received: from post-12.mail.demon.net ([194.217.242.41]:39785 "EHLO post.mail.demon.net" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <154247-21072>; Tue, 17 Nov 1998 10:18:45 -0500 Received: from [158.152.154.179] (helo=server) by post.mail.demon.net with smtp (Exim 2.05demon1 #1) id 0zfnfq-0005WH-00; Tue, 17 Nov 1998 16:08:14 +0000 From: John Ballance Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1998 16:07:23 To: Philip Blundell CC: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: Re: egcs-1.1b Content-Type: text/plain Message-ID: X-Mailer: Navaho Server Suite 2.00b24/Acorn RISC OS X-Organization: Castle Technology, Framlingham, Suffolk, IP13 9LL, +44 1728 621222 X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk X-Loop: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Status: RO Content-Length: 522 Lines: 14 Hi Phil When I referred to line 120 of gcc/config.in containing the word 'TOP', which needed commenting out, this was in the egcs-1.1b source tree, NOT the result of running Configure.... -- John Ballance Castle Technology, Ore Trading Estate, Woodbridge Road, Framlingham, Suffolk UK IP13 9LL Tel 44 (0) 1728 621 631, Fax 44 (0) 1728 621 179 web: http://www.castle-technology.co.uk or http://www.castlet.demon.co.uk unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Wed Nov 18 20:27:51 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id UAA651856 for ; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 20:27:50 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id UAA15290 for ; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 20:27:50 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xma015288; Wed, 18 Nov 98 20:27:44 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:24616 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <87-28796>; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 21:24:39 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <156611-18252>; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 04:09:58 -0500 Received: from spanner.eng.cam.ac.uk ([129.169.8.9]:1997 "EHLO spanner.eng.cam.ac.uk" ident: "[root]") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <153877-18252>; Tue, 17 Nov 1998 17:11:26 -0500 Received: from club.eng.cam.ac.uk (via jcj1000@club.eng.cam.ac.uk [129.169.16.2]) by spanner.eng.cam.ac.uk with SMTP id XAA02942 for ; Tue, 17 Nov 1998 23:02:09 GMT Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1998 23:02:08 +0000 (GMT) From: John Joyce To: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: APDL IDE interface Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk X-Loop: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Status: RO Content-Length: 623 Lines: 17 I just installed Armlinux after an abortive attempt with NetBSD/arm32 (or shouldn't I say that here!) and in general found the installation very straightforward.

(ie no menu; also need to pass root=/dev/hda3 to the kernel somehow) Thanks John Joyce unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Thu Nov 19 05:06:53 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id FAA621709 for ; Thu, 19 Nov 1998 05:06:52 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id FAA16343 for ; Thu, 19 Nov 1998 05:06:52 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xma016341; Thu, 19 Nov 98 05:06:41 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:64038 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <10516-1819>; Thu, 19 Nov 1998 06:05:12 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <153968-18252>; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 14:16:10 -0500 Received: from snowcrash.cymru.net ([163.164.160.3]:1781 "EHLO snowcrash.cymru.net" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <161015-18252>; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 02:30:42 -0500 Received: from caramon.armlinux.org (galatea-85.cableol.net [194.168.16.85] (may be forged)) by snowcrash.cymru.net (8.8.7/8.7.1) with ESMTP id HAA30547; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 07:19:26 GMT Received: from raistlin.armlinux.org (raistlin [192.168.0.3]) by caramon.armlinux.org (8.7.4/8.7.3) with ESMTP id AAA26454; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 00:14:45 GMT From: Russell King - ARM Linux Admin Received: (from linux@localhost) by raistlin.armlinux.org (8.7.4/8.7.3) id AAA01192; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 00:15:20 GMT Message-Id: <199811180015.AAA01192@raistlin.armlinux.org> Subject: Re: Help : Can't see Floppy To: 9606585c@udcf.gla.ac.uk (James Craig) Date: Wed, 18 Nov 1998 00:15:19 +0000 (GMT) Cc: pb@nexus.co.uk, linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu In-Reply-To: from "James Craig" at Nov 17, 98 01:56:06 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk X-Loop: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Status: RO Content-Length: 1459 Lines: 27 James Craig writes: > The A5000's two floppy connectors just have the first > two floppy select lines crossed over - i.e. on the 2nd connector, a drive > wired for drive 0 will appear to be drive 1 to the computer and vice > versa.

RISC OS always scans the floppy drives in the physical order - :0 :1 :2 :3. It then allocates the drives a logical number in the order that it finds them. ie, if you have one floppy drive attached as physical drive :3, then RISC OS at boot will scan :0, :1, :2, then find the drive on :3 and you'll still see it as :0. _____ |_____| ------------------------------------------------- ---+---+- | | Russell King linux@arm.linux.org.uk --- --- | | | | http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/armlinux.html / / | | +-+-+ --- -+- / | THE developer of ARM Linux |+| /|\ / | | | --- | +-+-+ ------------------------------------------------- /\\\ | unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Wed Nov 18 21:47:50 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id VAA404781 for ; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 21:47:50 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id VAA15455 for ; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 21:47:50 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xma015453; Wed, 18 Nov 98 21:47:25 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:27244 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <582-11450>; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 22:47:03 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <154065-18252>; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 07:32:46 -0500 Received: from post-12.mail.demon.net ([194.217.242.41]:41465 "EHLO post.mail.demon.net" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <154564-18252>; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 04:00:09 -0500 Received: from [158.152.154.179] (helo=mypc) by post.mail.demon.net with smtp (Exim 2.05demon1 #1) id 0zfxai-0001ju-00; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 02:43:36 +0000 From: John Ballance Date: Wed, 18 Nov 1998 02:47:43 Illegal-Object: Syntax error in To: address found on vger.rutgers.edu: To: pb@nexus.co.uklinux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu ^-missing end of address MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Multipart/Mixed; boundary="--:-{911357263--911357264-14239957:-}44851" Message-ID: X-Mailer: Navaho Server Suite 2.00b24/Acorn RISC OS To: unlisted-recipients:; (no To-header on input) X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk X-Loop: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Status: RO Content-Length: 4267 Lines: 86 This message is in MIME format.

If you install the ELF binutils in /usr you can't go on using your old gcc and libraries to build a.out executables.

I didn't say what happened to the select lines 2 and 3, which are still there. :) I've had 4 drives on my A3000 too. It's not hard to get it to work. I'll concede, the two A5000 connectors might have something silly like the first connector has select lines 0 and 1 swapped over with 2 and 3 instead of just 0 and 1 being swapped - but that's trivial to check for if you've got an A5000 sitting on the bench in front of you. :) I actually do have one sitting at home, so I guess I could have a play with it tonight. > > My point was that RISC OS must be being smart if the drive works in > > RISC OS and not in linux, autodetecting that it's drive 1 not 0, and the > > RPC must have both select lines mechanically wired up to actually do that. > > RISC OS always scans the floppy drives in the physical order - :0 :1 :2 :3. > It then allocates the drives a logical number in the order that it finds > them. ie, if you have one floppy drive attached as physical drive :3, > then RISC OS at boot will scan :0, :1, :2, then find the drive on :3 > and you'll still see it as :0. Yep, but this is only true on A5000's and up. On A300/A400/A3000s, it uses the physical numbers full stop. I know this because I used to use my A3000 with 4 floppy drives attached all the time, and no hard drive. Anyway, what I'm getting at is that if the drive works in RISC OS, then either: a) The RPC has both floppy drive select lines wired up and autodetects which ID the drive is actually set to, or b) The drive is already wired to ID 0 and there's something damned odd going on to stop it working in linux. :) -- James Craig <9606585c@udcf.gla.ac.uk> unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Thu Nov 19 01:20:24 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id BAA657229 for ; Thu, 19 Nov 1998 01:20:20 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id BAA15918 for ; Thu, 19 Nov 1998 01:20:20 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xma015914; Thu, 19 Nov 98 01:19:52 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:38428 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <428-16670>; Thu, 19 Nov 1998 02:17:04 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <154777-18252>; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 13:25:53 -0500 Received: from onyx.ftech.net ([195.200.12.17]:3939 "EHLO relay5.ftech.net" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <154893-18252>; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 04:08:18 -0500 Received: from ruby.ftech.net ([195.200.12.8] helo=mailgate) by relay5.ftech.net with smtp (Exim 2.05ftechp2 #2) id 0zg4PV-00063g-00 for linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu; Wed, 18 Nov 1998 10:00:29 +0000 Message-ID: <001101be12da$7057df10$0b01a8c0@terra.coltvr.com> From: "David A Brooks" To: "Arm Linux Mailing List" Subject: Re : Floppy on Risc PC Date: Wed, 18 Nov 1998 10:01:40 -0000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.3110.5 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk X-Loop: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Status: RO Content-Length: 754 Lines: 17 I have a Late RiscPC and tried last year to use 2 floppies with a standard PC floppy cable.

I downloaded and compiled the latest version, but it still complained so I commented out the appropriate lines in the Makefile and it seemed to work (still won't compile glibc, tho' - see my other post).

Basically what's happening is that the backend is trying to conditionally execute the "if" rather than branching around it, but because it's an inline asm it doesn't actually have any way to add the right codes. Compiling with -O1 rather than -O2 will probably make this go away as well. p. unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Thu Nov 19 20:56:54 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id UAA682931 for ; Thu, 19 Nov 1998 20:56:53 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id UAA18843 for ; Thu, 19 Nov 1998 20:56:53 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xma018841; Thu, 19 Nov 98 20:56:40 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:12121 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <2363-1819>; Thu, 19 Nov 1998 21:56:14 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <154175-18252>; Thu, 19 Nov 1998 10:14:01 -0500 Received: from nexusel.demon.co.uk ([158.152.30.195]:25607 "EHLO globe.nexus.co.uk" ident: "TIMEDOUT") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <155227-18252>; Thu, 19 Nov 1998 05:13:54 -0500 Received: from [192.0.0.21] (helo=fountain.nexus.co.uk ident=mail) by globe.nexus.co.uk with smtp (Exim 2.02 #1) id 0zgRtS-00046k-00; Thu, 19 Nov 1998 11:04:58 +0000 Received: from fountain.nexus.co.uk ([::ffff:127.0.0.1] ident=pb) by fountain.nexus.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 2.05 #1) id 0zgRtP-0005xK-00; Thu, 19 Nov 1998 11:04:55 +0000 X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0.2 2/24/98 (debian) To: chris.sawer@usa.net cc: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: Re: Compiling glibc In-reply-to: Your message of "Wed, 18 Nov 1998 21:38:46 GMT." <38ca1da748%root@usa.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Thu, 19 Nov 1998 11:04:48 +0100 From: Philip Blundell Message-Id: X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk X-Loop: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Status: RO Content-Length: 570 Lines: 16 >arm-linuxaout to arm-linux.

You can't just install them because the RedHat 5 CDs floating around are generally for the Intel platform.

Does anyone have any thoughts? Indeed - there is (luckily) another way to get this to work and that is to compile ld statically. (BTW, you need to do the same with "ar"). Stefan Hanske explained this to me a while ago: Seems you've not linked ld itself statically. I hope you've still got the source tree with the compiled binutils ready on your HD, if not, you have to compile everything again. Let the binutils compile up to the end, and remove ld/ld.new (I think that's the name, seek for an executable that's named something similar). Type make again and when 'make' enters the ld-subdir and writes the command line used to link ld together, hit C (yes, stop the process), go into subdir ld, copy the commandline that make wrote earlier on the screen into a new bash prompt and add -static or -Wl,-Bstatic before hitting return. The new executable should be significantly larger than the old one. The last check is 'ldd ./ld.new' which should return 'statically linked'. If that's OK, install it. If not, consult gcc's man page for a flag that forces it to produce statically linked binaries. The problem is that if the linker ld depends on any shared library, it will be loaded at runtime and reduce the memory available to the binary due to it's existance in memory (the kernel/library refuses to get it overwritten by the programs data, that's why ld won't get more than 12MB of mem if it's not statically linked).

Maybe someone can help me here. I have done a port of Linux to a HW similar to EBSA285, based on EBSA285 code. The machine has IDE and Ethernet on board along with SA110 and 21285 footbridge. The FW we have loads kernel from DOS style MBR partition'ed disk with ext2fs on it, uncompresses and runs OK. It goes through PCI init, finds devices, mounts the ext2fs from the disk OK, and finds /dev/console properly pointed to serial_21285, prints messages OK and then finds /sbin/init on the disk and does a execve()... but then hangs. I have a couple of different version of /sbin/init user program compiled on a NetWinder and then copied over to the disk. But the /sbin/init binary seems to be causing problems (my guess). I have been trying to compile glibc 2.0.102 for StrongARM cross target unsuccessfully... it always fails with alot of errors regarding multiple definitions of functions in various files against libc_pic.os (functions like __llseek, etc.). Due to this problem I can't make my own /sbin/init cross compiled using the same set up I employ for cross-compiling the kernel. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. -- Hwa Jin Bae PSO Systems Inc mailto:hjb@pso.com http://www.pso.com unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Tue Nov 24 09:33:55 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id JAA13731 for ; Tue, 24 Nov 1998 09:33:53 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id JAA06851 for ; Tue, 24 Nov 1998 09:33:53 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xma006838; Tue, 24 Nov 98 09:33:39 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:51017 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <11013-10753>; Tue, 24 Nov 1998 10:30:36 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <156212-6332>; Mon, 23 Nov 1998 23:14:32 -0500 Received: from snowcrash.cymru.net ([163.164.160.3]:1307 "EHLO snowcrash.cymru.net" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <160184-6332>; Mon, 23 Nov 1998 16:03:40 -0500 Received: from caramon.armlinux.org (galatea-120.cableol.net [194.168.16.120] (may be forged)) by snowcrash.cymru.net (8.8.7/8.7.1) with ESMTP id WAA22386; Mon, 23 Nov 1998 22:23:08 GMT Received: from raistlin.armlinux.org (raistlin [192.168.0.3]) by caramon.armlinux.org (8.7.4/8.7.3) with ESMTP id VAA15621; Mon, 23 Nov 1998 21:16:11 GMT From: Russell King - ARM Linux Admin Received: (from linux@localhost) by raistlin.armlinux.org (8.7.4/8.7.3) id VAA00530; Mon, 23 Nov 1998 21:17:05 GMT Message-Id: <199811232117.VAA00530@raistlin.armlinux.org> Subject: Re: PCI master To: pb@nexus.co.uk (Philip Blundell) Date: Mon, 23 Nov 1998 21:17:04 +0000 (GMT) Cc: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu In-Reply-To: from "Philip Blundell" at Nov 23, 98 04:07:16 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk X-Loop: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Status: RO Content-Length: 1319 Lines: 24 Philip Blundell writes: > We've now got a lot of constructs like this in the hardware-specific setup > code for both EBSA/CATS and VNC: > > + pci_set_cmd(dev, 0, PCI_COMMAND_MASTER | PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY | PCI_COMMAND_IO); > > For things like the ISA bridge this seems fair enough, but for most > peripherals I'd expect that the driver ought to be doing pci_set_master() > -- and if it isn't, that's where it ought to get fixed.

I deleted my binutils source tree yesterday when I ran out of disc space (despite having installed next to nothing in my 700Mb!). Anyway, "no problem", I thought, "I'll just download it again and re-build it." And so I downloaded Binutils 2.9.1.0.15 along with the appropriate patch, just like I did before, applied the patch, ran the configure file, typed "make"... and all went seemingly to plan until it started to compile the stuff in the "binutils" directory, when this happened... make[1]: Entering directory `/root/binutils-2.9.1.0.15/binutils' /bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -o size size.o bucomm.o version.o filemode.o ../bfd/libbfd.la ../libiberty/libiberty.a gcc -g -O2 -o size size.o bucomm.o version.o filemode.o ../bfd/.libs/libbfd.a ../libiberty/libiberty.a ../bfd/.libs/libbfd.a: could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one make[1]: *** [size] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/binutils-2.9.1.0.15/binutils' make: *** [all-binutils] Error 2 Oo-er - it worked before! Anyway, I've tried running ranlib on the offending file about twenty zillion times but it never stops me from getting this same error... I've tried using the targets "arm-linux" and "arm-linuxaout" but no joy. And I'm afraid that once again I've exceeded my knowledge of Linux... my best guess is that something that was installed when I last built binutils is for some reason not working with binutils itself, which seems a touch daft but it was the only thing I could think of. The only other changes to my system since my last successful build are that I've installed Chimera, Afterstep and Freeciv, none of which I can in a month of Sundays imagine causing problems like this. I hate to off-load my problems onto you people, but... I'm stuck. I'm very very stuck. I'm very very stuck indeed. All suggestions gratefully received...

First, sorry for the long message... but I am rather stuck here so I might as well as around. As mentioned in my previous posting, I have ported the ARM Linux kernel based on 2.1.126 + pre-patch from www.arm.linux.org.uk site onto a new HW similar to EBSA285. The kernel works reasonably well enough to start running /sbin/init. Due to lack of working glibc compatible with my cross development environment (Linux/i686 -> StrongARM) I am unable to (yet) compile a /sbin/init. Instead I have been trying to use various StrongARM versions of /sbin/init for NetWinder kernel, which does not seem to work with 2.1.126 based kernel. When trying to compile glibc 2.0.102 for cross compiling from Linux/i686 -> StrongARM, I run into a bunch of problems, the worst of which has to do with multiple definitions of funtions when libc.so is being built (this does not happen when building native on a given architecture). Anyway, after trying to obtain a reasonable base code for the porting effort based on latest available code on the net I am not able to put together a reasonable system that can be ported. At this point my only other alternative seems to be to retarget the Corel's netwinder kernel which is based on 2.0.X. I'd really prefer not to use the old base, but at least I know the port works. Reading various web pages, I am lead to believe that there are 2.1.X based Linux ports to EBSA285 style computers out there. However, I am not able to receive any assistance in locating a cohesive distribution that works on a given platform (either original EBSA285 and CATS I have here). If any of you are in a similar situation and would like to suggest any ideas or words of wisdom I would greatly appreciate it. I'd really like to avoid having to start porting netwinder code to my HW since it is 2.0 based, and I could definitely use the latest feature in 2.1 kernels (better PCI IDE code for example). -- Hwa Jin Bae PSO Systems Inc mailto:hjb@pso.com http://www.pso.com unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Tue Nov 24 18:09:01 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id SAA73363 for ; Tue, 24 Nov 1998 18:08:55 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id SAA08289 for ; Tue, 24 Nov 1998 18:08:55 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xma008287; Tue, 24 Nov 98 18:08:28 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:41561 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <3340-10753>; Tue, 24 Nov 1998 19:04:26 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <154288-17796>; Tue, 24 Nov 1998 07:38:09 -0500 Received: from note.orchestra.cse.unsw.EDU.AU ([129.94.242.29]:3518 "HELO note.orchestra.cse.unsw.EDU.AU" ident: "root") by vger.rutgers.edu with SMTP id <155125-6332>; Tue, 24 Nov 1998 01:42:11 -0500 Received: From urquell With LocalMail ; Tue, 24 Nov 98 19:04:00 +1100 From: "Adam 'WeirdArms' Wiggins" To: "James J.

It isn't, necessarily. I'm trying to have the ELF stuff merged for the next (presumably 2.10) release of binutils, and it may turn out to be hard to get this done without losing a.out, mostly because some of the necessary assignments are missing (I've been trying for months now to get them in place and sooner or later I have to give up). In any case, this won't happen tomorrow or next week and it's not likely even to be next month. I just wanted to get a feeling for how many people wanted the support kept so I didn't waste effort on redundant code. I think the conclusion is that a significant number of people think it's still useful.

You can find it in the usual directory (vger.rutgers.edu:/pub/gcc/arm). This needs to be applied *on top of* the previous patch. Briefly, this does: - build libgcc.a as PIC (otherwise disaster strikes with shared libs) - fix weird behaviour with multilibs when apcs-32 is default - libgcc doesn't require libc to be installed (this time for sure) I'll try and make an RPM available tomorrow for NetWinder people, and if I feel really fired up maybe a .deb as well.

That seemed to fix the problem, but it depends on various configuration scripts using RANLIB instead of hard coding ranlib name. Good luck! James J.

I really would rather much prefer using Russell's tree, because his code is the "official" tree and I like the overall consideration to different board support better (for example, you can configure for different board targets, as opposed to netwinder kernel release I have here which defaults to VNC when you make config). 2.1.X PCI support also seems to be better over all...

There appear to be some drivers that take these bits as 'enabled', and will specifically not initialise if they're not set (eg, all PCI IDE, rz1000, etc). Hmm, in fact, it looks like most PCI drivers look at the IO and memory enabled bits, and skip devices that aren't enabled.

Mmm, that's true. I've never quite understood why that's the case and IMHO it's broken -- but regardless of that, the consensus seems to be that as Alan says Linux drivers expect PCI to be set up in advance.

I tried "make RANLIB=/usr/arm-linux/bin/ranlib" and I saw that file referenced several times in the compiler output so I guess it gets used... unfortunately, it didn't fix the problem. But thanks for trying anyway. I then tried using the ranlib in /usr/arm-unknown-linuxaout/bin/ranlib on the offending library... still no joy. All the versions of ranlib I have seem to update the datestamp on the file so presumably they do something, but what is obviously not enough to appease the compiler. *sigh* All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth and a version of Linux in which everything compiles first time with no problems. ;) James Farmer. -- ***************************************************************************** * "He is shedding buckets of * "With half the race gone, there is * * adrenalin in that car." * half the race still to go." * * - Murray Walker * - Murray Walker * unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Thu Nov 26 14:51:31 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id OAA277728 for ; Thu, 26 Nov 1998 14:51:30 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id OAA14481 for ; Thu, 26 Nov 1998 14:51:30 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xma014479; Thu, 26 Nov 98 14:51:06 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:6451 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <1882-12581>; Thu, 26 Nov 1998 15:42:36 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <155455-13019>; Thu, 26 Nov 1998 04:35:16 -0500 Received: from post-20.mail.demon.net ([194.217.242.27]:52085 "EHLO post.mail.demon.net" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <157091-13019>; Thu, 26 Nov 1998 00:42:21 -0500 Received: from [158.152.154.179] (helo=mypc) by post.mail.demon.net with smtp (Exim 2.053 #1) id 0zivd2-0002qT-00 for linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu; Thu, 26 Nov 1998 07:14:16 +0000 From: John Ballance Date: Thu, 26 Nov 1998 07:18:31 To: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: Cross compiling arm kernels Content-Type: text/plain Message-ID: X-Mailer: Navaho Server Suite 2.00b24/Acorn RISC OS X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk X-Loop: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Status: RO Content-Length: 578 Lines: 18 Hi Having manifestly failed to get a riscpc system to compile linux kernels OR egcs, I am wondering whether I would have better luck cross compiling from a pc platform (redhat 5.1).

Maybe there's a reason... Presumably, on a PC, this is how the BIOS sets various PCI devices as enabled or disabled, and you wouldn't want Linux to override that behaviour or you'd end up in all sorts of trouble. Makes sense if the PCI drivers are basically checking to see if the BIOS has enabled the device or not (certainly for IDE, multi-I/O, that sort of thing). -- James Craig <9606585c@udcf.gla.ac.uk> unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Thu Nov 26 16:27:01 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id QAA282077 for ; Thu, 26 Nov 1998 16:27:00 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id QAA14726 for ; Thu, 26 Nov 1998 16:27:00 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xma014724; Thu, 26 Nov 98 16:26:50 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:21512 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <1865-31113>; Thu, 26 Nov 1998 17:21:23 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <155054-13019>; Thu, 26 Nov 1998 07:17:21 -0500 Received: from nexusel.demon.co.uk ([158.152.30.195]:27247 "EHLO globe.nexus.co.uk" ident: "TIMEDOUT") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <155636-13019>; Thu, 26 Nov 1998 04:47:25 -0500 Received: from [192.0.0.21] (helo=fountain.nexus.co.uk ident=mail) by globe.nexus.co.uk with smtp (Exim 2.02 #1) id 0ziyWx-0001B8-00; Thu, 26 Nov 1998 10:20:11 +0000 Received: from fountain.nexus.co.uk ([::ffff:127.0.0.1] ident=pb) by fountain.nexus.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 2.05 #1) id 0ziyWw-0001Yi-00; Thu, 26 Nov 1998 10:20:10 +0000 X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0.2 2/24/98 (debian) To: bellonsn@trick.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de cc: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: Re: support for 2nd processor?

One reason they need to be set up in advance is that they share resources with other logical busses that may need to know in advance what resources they can use - a good example is i2o - the bios tells the i2o controller what block of address space/i/o space it can have for its devices. unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu From owner-linux-arm-outgoing@vger.rutgers.edu Thu Nov 26 19:24:01 1998 Return-Path: Received: from mail.core.genedata.com (mentolat-e0.core.genedata.com [157.161.173.16]) by relay.ch.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id TAA288225 for ; Thu, 26 Nov 1998 19:24:00 +0100 (CET) Received: (from mail@localhost) by mail.core.genedata.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id TAA15209 for ; Thu, 26 Nov 1998 19:24:00 +0100 Received: from listserv.funet.fi(128.214.248.27) by mentolat.core.genedata.com via smap (V2.0) id xma015207; Thu, 26 Nov 98 19:23:54 +0100 Received: from vger.rutgers.edu ([128.6.190.2]:32541 "EHLO vger.rutgers.edu" ident: "NO-IDENT-SERVICE[2]") by listserv.funet.fi with ESMTP id <327-12581>; Thu, 26 Nov 1998 20:23:03 +0200 Received: by vger.rutgers.edu id <156388-13019>; Thu, 26 Nov 1998 09:28:25 -0500 Received: from lrcsun15.epfl.ch ([128.178.156.77]:65039 "EHLO lrcsun15.epfl.ch" ident: "almesber") by vger.rutgers.edu with ESMTP id <155132-13019>; Thu, 26 Nov 1998 07:20:29 -0500 Received: (from almesber@localhost) by lrcsun15.epfl.ch (8.8.X/EPFL-8.1a) id OAA10716; Thu, 26 Nov 1998 14:45:56 +0100 (MET) From: Werner Almesberger Message-Id: <199811261345.OAA10716@lrcsun15.epfl.ch> Subject: Re: Cross compiling arm kernels To: jwb@castle-technology.co.uk (John Ballance) Date: Thu, 26 Nov 1998 14:45:56 +0100 (MET) Cc: linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu In-Reply-To: from "John Ballance" at Nov 26, 98 07:18:31 am X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Sender: owner-linux-arm@vger.rutgers.edu Precedence: bulk X-Loop: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Status: RO Content-Length: 1227 Lines: 34 John Ballance wrote: > Having manifestly failed to get a riscpc system to compile linux kernels > OR egcs, I am > wondering whether I would have better luck cross compiling from a pc > platform > (redhat 5.1). > > Is there anything I need to know for this? egcs/binutils binaries (i386 -> arm-linux; RH4.2, but should also work on RH5.1, etc.) in: ftp://lrcftp/pub/people/almesber/psion/xdev-0.tar.gz egcs/binutils build instructions in: ftp://lrcftp/pub/people/almesber/psion/xdev-0.README Kernel build instructions in README of: ftp://lrcftp/pub/people/almesber/psion/boot-6.tar.gz Kernel patch in (*): ftp://lrcftp/pub/people/almesber/psion/crash+burn-4.patch.gz (* use this patch as a reference only.

You have to use the right version of ranlib for the compiler in question. I forget exactly what it is you're trying to do, but basically: /usr/arm-*-linux/bin/* are your Linux/ARM ELF tools /usr/arm-*-linuxaout/bin/* are your Linux/ARM a.out tools /usr/bin/* are the "native" tools for whatever system you're using If everything is installed correctly and you configured with the right --prefix, --build, --host and CC settings, the right versions of the other tools should get picked up automatically.

That sounds sensible... however, I've tried every version of ranlib I can find and none of them work, so I'm not sure it's the problem... What I'm actually trying to do is compile EGCS on and for Arm Linux installed on a StrongARM Risc PC so I can use ELF. I patched Binutils and did the following: ./configure arm-linux --prefix=/usr make make install And all was well. Then I tried to compile EGCS as per the instructions on your webpage, and it gave me the error: /usr/arm-unknown-linuxaout/bin/ld: final link failed: Memory exhausted Chris Sawer very helpfully suggested that I needed to link ld statically, and detailed a way I could create a workable version of ld (and ar) using binutils - but unfortunately I'd deleted the binutils source tree and so I'd have to download it and recompile it. This is where things started to go wrong... I downloaded the tree and patched it, then did ./configure arm-linux --prefix=/usr And all seemed well.

I have been following Paul Vigay's excellent guide to installation, with the necessary modifications for a SCSI installation. My drive is connected via a Powertek SCSI II card. My system is a 32Mb/2Mb RiscPC600 with a SA110. My first problem was creating the partitions on the SCSI drive. I partitioned my disc into two halves, and used the BB_RiscBD SCSI/powertek partition fix recommended in a mail to this list in June by Tom Palmer, then when I use PartMan to create the Linux partitions (ADFS,Linux Table, Linux Native, Linux Swap). Running PartMan a second time shows that the partitions were not set up correctly, so I set them up again. This time, PartMan insists on overlapping the ADFS partition with the Linux Table and Native partitions. So I turned to the alpha PartMan release. This does not have the overlapping partition problem, but doesn't appear to create a Linux Table partition (at least it isn't listed), so there is one less partition on the disc (ADFS, Linux Native, Linux Swap). I decided to go ahead and do the Linux Installation anyway, and booted of the floppy, loaded the supplemental disc as recommended in Paul's guide. When it comes to copying the RPMS directory to the Linux Native partition now to be on sdb2, I had to modify the process slightly. Rather than copy the file when the installation is at the 'Installation Path' window (step 45 in Paul's instructions) I found that my SCSI devices were not found until I had told the installer I had a powertek SCSI device, and had it autodetect the connected drives. Now I could create /dev/sdb2, create the file system copy the RPMS and go on to the swap drive initialisation. This was my next major stumbling block. The installer cannot find the swap partition, does not seem to find sdb3 at all. I finally solved this by repartitioning my SCSI drive, but this time, creating 3 partitions, one ADFS and two empty. I ran BB_RiscBSD as before, and used the alpha version of PartMan to set up the two partitions as Native and Swap respectively. I then retraced all my steps (i.e. copying all files etc :-( ) and this time the installer found my swap drive and initiallised it without problems. I now found I could follow the installation without any changes (after remembering to load the base and instim tar files into the RedHat directory!) The installer unpacked the distribution and went on to ask me about my keyboard, mouse, timezone, and asked for my password. It seemed that I'd cracked it! As expected I got the 'I couldn't find a kernel' error, and I resync'ed the drives and rebooted. If I now run the linux application booting from a kernel in an ADFS partition like before, but now specifying my root device as 'root=/dev/sdb2' at the 'extra arguments' prompt, the installation halts (after listing attached devices) with an error message: Kernel panic: VFS: could not mount the root fs on [08:12] (the cursor is still flashing at this point btw) This is a bit irritating putting it mildly. Assuming that the numbers in square brackets are the major and minor numbers of the root device, I was surprised that they weren't [08:18] for sdb2. I tried fooling the system by entering /dev/sdb8 at the extra arguments prompt but whilst the correct major and minor numbers were now used, the same error occurred. If I go back into the Linux installation to the point after telling the installer that I have a powertek SCSI interface, I can make the /dev/sdb2 node myself, mount the partition onto /hd (or whatever), and check that all the files are still there (they are), so the partition itself seems fine. Should I assume that the standard kernel (and the Linux boot application) are not capable of booting up a root device from SCSI? If this is the case, is it possible to compile a kernel that recognises the Powertek set up? and could some kind soul do this for me? (since clearly I cannot). If I use the Linux application to boot up directly (rather than booting from floppy) I get the 'invalid bmap magic in first sector of partition' error. I used the recommended steps in the FAQ, I.e. create a /etc/boot.conf file and run loadmap to try to remedy this. Since I cannot mount sdb2 as root, I had to use the -r and -R parameters of loadmap to create the bmap on the device mounted to a subdirectory (it did seem to work, but who can tell?) I still get the invalid bmap error however. Is it not possible to create a valid bmap table unless the proposed root device is already mounted as root? (which I can't do). If I use the alpha version of the Linux application, I get an invalid Linux partition error instead of the bmap magic error (I tried several different partition numbers just in case). I would be grateful for any advice for things to try, especially from people who have succesfully installed ARMLinux on a powertek SCSI II system.

If the CD rom is connected and I run without the hdb=noprobe line, the kernel crashes on the line starting hdb: Matshita CD Rom drive, spawn of hell etc. etc If I type hdb=noprobe as Mat suggests, the kernel crashes on the line before, starting 'hda:' and listing all the stats of my Conner IDEFS drive. We're talking a complete crash here btw, no cursor and little blue button time. I'm sure I'm not the only one to find this behaviour a little bizarre.... I have no problems if I disconnect the CD Rom drive itself, well, actually I do for which see my other posting... :-) but it gets past this bit anyway.

Look through the `make' output and check if this is the case; if it is, you may need to hack config.make or something to make it use the right one.
