You need to download the kernel sources and install them also.
You can get the current version plus about 3 version back from tsx-11.mit.edu
in the 

/pub/linux/sources/system directory.

Install these in /usr/src/linux and then issue the following two commands as
root:

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

In this case, I was more of an end-user than a programmer.  The fix for
my particular case seems to be the "INIT" string in /etc/default (again,
I am using uugetty from getty_ps package).  It seems the first ATZ was
getting missed by my modem, so adding another should fix.

Linus - After reading about POSIX improvements to SIGHUP etc. handlying in
0.99pl1, I feel real good about the 15 minutes it took me to compile the new
kernel!  I was worried all that time would go to waste :-).  But seriously,
you have got to make this kernel install stuff more difficult!  It is getting
too easy!  I mean, you wouldn't see the major comercial vendors giving you a
make file with "config, dep, and clean"!  Would you.  At least make us return
a registration card or something.


Happy Holidays to ALL!!!

I had the same problem with cout. -nojump solved it

BUT: now the compiler does not find form.
Undefined symbol _form referenced from text segment.

In addition, depending on how much the kernel itself has changed, you
may need to recompile ps, free, etc.  THIS WAS THE CASE FOR ME WHEN
UPGRADING FROM 0.99.0 to 0.99.1.  Recompile and install the new ps,
free, etc.  (no changes needed to the ps code, although fstat has to
be patched).  Then run ps -U /usr/src/linux/tools/system [/dev/swappart1 [ /dev
swappart2 ] [...]]] to create your new /etc/psdatabase.

I've tried to compile the kernel about 50 different times.  Never getting

Here is what I got:
make[1]: `lib.a' is up to date.
ld  -r boot/head.o init/main.o tools/version.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/fs.o net/net.o fs/minix/minix.o fs/ext/ext.o fs/msdos/msdos.o fs/proc/proc.o kernel/blk_drv/blk_drv.a kernel/chr_drv/chr_drv.a kernel/blk_drv/scsi/scsi.a kernel/math/math.a lib/lib.a -o tools/system > System.map
make: *** [tools/system] Error 139

I figure it messed up somewhere in the "tools" subdir.  The tools subdir
looks like:

ls
build.c    version.c  version.h  version.o

I see no makefile in this directory, nor a "tools/system"

There is no good way to handle this in the kernel: moving files (even
symbolic links) across filesystems is pretty much impossible to do
cleanly as different fs's can have different filesystem semantics, and
the kernel proper (or rather, the vfs layer) doesn't know about them
(nor does it care - the idea with the vfs is exactly to allow different
filesystems to have different opinions of what is going on). 

It's very easy to fake this on a user level: either in the 'rename()'
library call or just in the 'mv' binary.  The latter is probably the
preferred way, if only because it serves for most people, while not
cluttering up the library for other binaries (besides, handling the
error cases might be ugly in the library, while 'mv' would know what to
do). 

Naturally, any non-kernel solution (be it a library or mv change), is
not guaranteed to be atomic, but with symbolic links this is probably
not something you usually have to worry about.  And a move across
filesystems would be hard to make atomic even in the kernel, even if it
was something I though was worth it.  It's easy enough to fake with
something like this:

	struct stat stat;

	if (lstat(oldname,&stat)) {
		perror("lstat");
		exit(1);
	}
	if (S_ISLINK(stat.st_mode)) {
		char buffer[1024];

		if (readlink(oldname,buffer,sizeof(buffer)) < 0) {
			perror("readlink");
			exit(1);
		}
		if (symlink(buffer, newfile)) {
			perror("symlink");
			exit(1);
		}
		if (unlink(oldname)) {
			perror("unlink");
			exit(1);
		}
		return 0;
	}

Note that GNU mv already does something similar with regular files (ie
it copies them across filesystems and then unlinks the original file if
the copy was successfull), but symbolic links aren't the only thing mv
won't touch.  Directories, named pipes and any other special files share
their non-movability with symlinks - understandable, as moving them can
result in funny behavior (especially trying to move a directory by
copying it and then removing it is so fraught with race-conditions that
it's not really worth it).

      There's something called ps2txt.  The results are pretty ugly,
      but look better after piping through fmt.  Sorry, I don't know
      where to get it.

   I think a better solution is to grab the psf-package. It can be
   used as a filter system for PostScript-printers and as a converter
   for ASCII->PostScript.  You'll find it on several ftp-servers. The
   current version is psf-3.5

For another data point, I use something called a2ps.  Use archie to
find it, I can't remember where I got it.

I obtained the nice DOS utility pfdisk from a linux site (tsx-11.mit.edu
if I recall correctly), which is an fdisk-like program.  Because it runs
under MS-DOG it has access to the bios, and can read this information.
Displaying the contents of the current partition table will also show
the number of heads, cylinders, and sectors the SCSI-card has fooled the
bios into believing it has.  I then use these numbers with the linux
fdisk command.  This has worked very well with an Adaptec 1542b SCSI
controller and two Maxtar hard drives (120M and 210M), and it should work
with other controllers/drives as well.

hope this helps!

Jean.

Hi,

I have been having probs with seyon not reading the .seyon directory.
The problem was caused by the fact that old seyon(before 1.0) was
installed in /usr/bin directory and the newer seyon was installed in
/usr/X386/bin. So if you have /usr/bin in front of /usr/X386/bin in your
path, then your binary will not be version you just installed, but the
version you installed earlier. 

Solution: remove seyon, seyon-cmd from /usr/bin directory.


If anyone sees Seyon version 0.0 when you invoke the thing, the it is
because you have not removed the old binary...

Okay, that was my fault report..:)

I'm having a couple of rather hindering problems with running linux
at the moment, I would greatly apprechiate any help any one can offer with
either, thanks!

Problem/Question #1:
My hard drive is acting wierd, periodically *well, very frequently* it
displays this messages, then goes back to what it was doing:

HD: write_intr: status = 0xff
HD: write_intr: error = 0xff
controller_read: status = ff
HD-controller reset

I have no idea what this means/if I should worry about it or how to correct
it.

Problem #2:
gcc/cc does not like my system at all, it absolutely crawls. I tried
compiling ps and it took 30-45 minutes to compile. I dunno if this is
because of my swap drive, cpu speed, memory, or what. I'm afraid to try
to re-compile the kernel :)

My setup consists of:
386 33mhz
2 meg ram
30 meg linux partition *50% free*
2 meg swap drive *which linux says is 4?*
the usual floppy drives, keyboard, ect


Any help would be _GREATLY_ apprechiated, thanks again!

   Hmm, do you have CTSRTS enabled and a full cable to support it?  I had 
problems at the start with my modem, but I switch to a nice full 25 pin 
ribbon cable and now I have my uugetty baud rate locked at 19200, I did have 
it a t 38400, but brought it down.
 
   Also, I have a VT220 on the other serial port running at 19200 as well, 
with no problems, and a long cable, but it also has almost all of the pins.
 
  Give that a check out and see if that fixes it up.  Make sure you turn on 
CTSRTS for the modem...I think your running a world blazer right?  SO I 
guess your used to fussying with settings. I've got an HST, I just love 
extra registers.....Arghhhh.    ;)
