Subject: Ultrastore 24F: Got it *almost* to work!
Organization: Computer Science, Indiana University
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 1992 16:21:56 -0500

I almost managed to run Linux on my Gateway 2000 486-33 EISA
system, which has a Ultrastore 24F SCSI controller with a 
340MB Maxtor Drive.

What I did is run the configuration utility and enable the ISA
mode of the Ultra 24F. There was one more setting to switch. I
forgot it's exact name, but you could specify the number of
sectors and drives on your system. EISA uses the first of these
settings, but for ISA mode you need to choose the third one.
This is actually described in the Ultrastore 24F user manual
(under Unix installation).

Then I rebooted. I couldn't boot from my hard disk anymore,
but I had prepared a disk, so that I could reverse the above
settings, once I had installed Linux. During the boot process
you can hit CTRL-ALT-ESC to get into a special settings menu
on the Gateway computer. Both drives (C: and D:) are set to
*NONE* in this settings. To work with Linux I set driver C:
to number 10 (for my Maxtor drive). Then I rebooted off the
Linux disk and *YES* it did recognize all the partitions on
my harddisk. I ran the installation process and since I already
had my three partitions for linux, I skipped right to the
file system installation menu. I typed:

mkfs -c /dev/hd5 NUMBER         (the block size of partition)

The drive started to work, but about a second after finishing
(the prompt was already displayed) I suddenly got this write
error message a couple times. For the moment I just ignored
it, since I didn't know what else to do. I created my swap
partition, which worked fine.

Then the installation script started copying the files onto
my partition, but for some strange reason the partitions had
only a few KBytes (maybe 100) of free space. So in the end
I did not manage to install linux on my Ultra 24F, but I came
pretty close.

I know that there are a few people out there, who are trying
the same thing. If anybody has some new ideas, please let me
know.

Thanks,

Stefan

Hi,

Could someone please tell me what can be done with the tcp/ip
support in the 0.98 kernel.

I need to set up a slip connection between a Linux machine
and a SUN 3 at university, and I am getting nowhere fast.

I foolishly suggested this as a sys-admin project, thinking
it won't be too difficult :(

Any help much appreciated,

Scott.

Summary: I didn't even succeed in booting Linux from floppy on my laptop.

After following the "comp.os.linux" group for a while , I decided to spend
some time installing it on my laptop, because it seemed a good
platform for using Emacs en (auc)-TeX  the same way I use it at the
institute. Unfortunately, it didn't work ! I didn't even succeed to
boot it from floppy drive. My specifications are the following:

* IBM PS/2 Model L40 SX laptop
* 6 MB RAM ( 6016 kB usable)
* 60 MB Harddisk
* 3.5" 1.44 Mb floppy disk.
* Standard VGA
* 20 Mhz 386SX processor

After rawritten the 0.98 boot-image and 0.97.1 root-image files (
obtained from nic.funet.fi ) to floppy, I got the following screen:

Loading.................................
ttys0 at 0x03f8 (irq=4) is a 16450				Egam

and then everything was over ! It hangup, didn't react to shift-printscreen,
alt-printscreen, alt-F1 etc, and even ctr-alt-del had no effect.

But I didn't give up, I decided to try the SLS distribution .
The result was this:

1297 buffers = 1328128 bytes buffer space
free mem: 3690560 bytes

Insert disk 2:

And the system hung again, at the same point, when the second disk has 
to be loaded. I also tried it with the MCC-interim distribution, and this 
result didn't differ from the previous.e
So I suspect that there is some problem with my floppy, although I never had
before any troubles. It isn't my keyboard, because at the SVGA question 
everything went O.K.
Appearantly the PS/2 laptop isn't fully compatible with the machine Linux 
had been developed for. That would be a bummer !

In any case, any help is very welcome, when there are some substantial tips
I'll post a summary. 

	Many thanks in advance,

It's a problem with zcat expecting compressed files

X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL6]

I just obtained the 0.98.0 kernel sources and patched them with the new
serial patches, serpatches.  The compilation was full of warnings concerning
the lack of the keyword `inline' in the assembler routines but the kernel
compiled OK.  It boots the system and correctly detects 2 of the 3 serial
ports.

It places /dev/ttys0 on IRQ4 (correct) and /dev/ttys2 on IRQ3 (incorrect, it
is on IRQ5) and /dev/ttys3 on IRQ3 (correct).  It does not find my internal
modem on /dev/ttys1 on IRQ3.  Therefore uugetty fails to initialize on that
port.

So, on /dev/ttys1 I have a Cardinal 9600bps internal modem using a 16450
UART.  It should be running (and does under 0.97.6) on IRQ3.  On /dev/ttys2
I have a BOCA 14.4kbps internal modem using a Rockwell chipset (whatever the
equivalent to the 16450 is).  It should be running (and does under 0.97.6)
on IRQ5.  My serial mouse, attached to /dev/ttys0, is picked up correctly as
is my unused serial port on /dev/ttys3.  But autodetection of both internal
modems fail.  Anyone else having this problem?

This is the Linux C library 4.1. It has 2 minix disks. It can
fit in either 5.25" or 3.5" floppy.

It is on tsx-11.mit.edu under pub/linux/GCC/libdisk


A. Disk 1 (41lib1.Z)

It has the shared images and a few libraries.


B. Disk 2 (41lib2.Z)

It has the header files and the rest of the libraries. The files in
/usr/g++-include/gen are in compressed format. Please do

cd /usr/g++-include/gen
uncompress *.Z

if you ever need them.

To install them on your hard drive.

1. uncompress base[1|2|3].Z.
2. rawrite or dd it to a floppy disk.

Now you have made a copy of the Linux C library 4.1 on floppy. To copy
it to your hd, you should mount the floppy first and copy the disk.
That is

mount /dev/fd[0|1] /mnt
cd /mnt
for d in bin dev etc usr
do
  if [ -d $d ]; then
    cp -av $d /
  fi
done

Note: This may overwrite some files on your hard disk.

There are two shared math images. The hard version, libmh.so.4.0,
is for 387 only. The soft version, libms.so.4.0, uses those 387
instructions emulated inside the kernel. The default shared math
image, libm.so.4.0, is linked with the soft version. You should
relink it to the hard version after you have installed it on
your hard drive if you have a 387, by doing

cd /lib
rm libm.so.4.0
ln -s libmh.so.4.0 libm.so.4.0
 
Also, the static math library is linked to soft math library by
default. If you have a 387, you should do

cd /usr/lib
rm libm.a
ln -s libhard.a libm.a

The header files are not complete. You have to make two symbolic links
from linux/include of Linux kernel source, which must be 0.97 pl 6 or
above, to /usr/include. Suppose your kernel source is under /usr/src,
you should do

ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm /usr/include
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux /usr/include


Starting from this release, I used a new structure for libraries.
The different versions of library, i.e., static, jump table and
classic shared library, are in the same directory, /usr/lib. The
static version is libfoo.a. The jump table version is libfoo.sa and
classic version is libfoo.ca. The new `ld', which is in the third
disk of the Linux Base System, searches for the jump table library
by default. You can overwrite it by adding -static or -nojump to
`ld' or 'gcc'. The jump table and classic versions are not
compatible with each other. The static library is used as the last
resort.
 
Thanks.

I think I can answer this for Linus. The answer is cross-compiling.
After you decided the format of a.out and the system call interface,
you had to choose a compiler to port. Linus chose gcc, of course.
Linus only uses the best. Then you wrote the C library. You now could
cross-compile gcc from another machine. First build gas, gld, gar
and granlib running on host machine for Linux. Then

1. build gcc for host machine.
2. build gcc running on host machine but generating codes for Linux.
3. use the cross-compiling gcc to build gcc for Linux.

gcc 1.xx doesn't support those. You have to modify the gcc source
code. Before gcc 2.2.2, there is only some limited support. In gcc
2.3, you will get the full support for this purpose.

Hope I have made myself clear.

First of all, I know I can use lilo to boot directly without the use
of bootlin, but I for one prefer to load linux from the dos prompt
(probably because I don't own the machine I'm running it on :-)

However, bootlin still doesn't work in most normal configurations
due to memory requirements.  If bootlin is loaded too high, it 
overwrites itself.  

What I was thinking was, since any linux machine is a 386, why not
load a small program into extended memory, load the image into
extended memory, then run the little program, which copies the image
down to the address it should be at, then runs it?  I'd do this 
myself, except that I'm spoiled by machines with decent assembly
languages (Vax and 680X0), and haven't taken the time to figure out 
how to do anything like this (mixing '86 and '386 instructions in
real mode?)

by using extended memory, we insure that nothing that dos considers
important gets trashed before we have the kernal image loaded, and
then dos can puke and die for all I care, we're kicking the bum out!

|couple uucp.info files, and another place where it couldn't link
|/usr/include/adm & /usr/include/linux, but other than that it went ok.

Just ignore.

If you are having problems with the vga, just use Xconfig.orig.

Summary: my busmouse will not work with X

Hello,
   I can't get X working with my logitech busmouse it seems.  Even
the little mouse testing program doesn't know how to deal with
my erratic little rodent, and locks up my computer when I run it 
on /dev/bm.  Is there a quick hack that will let X recognise my 
mouse as real and alive?  The kernel know's its there (unless its
lying!) but X just locks. :(
