Hello, again! I talked to a programmer friend about the issue, and he
took a look at the source code. Line 409 of dir.c has the following
switch statement:
switch (filp->f_pos) {
He told me to change it to ((unsigned long) filp->f_pos) { with the
following brief explanation: "If you [by this, I assume he means a
32-bit PPC user] call switch on a 64-bit long, you need libgcc.a to
figure it out. The fix I sent you is not the correct one, but it will
work as long as f_pos is never 1 + (2^32) or 2^32."
After using modprobe on omfs, I had no problems. The real test, of
course, will be mounting and using the Karma with -t omfs, which
should occur once I get a new hard disk for it.
My friend was using an AMD 64 processor, so the compile worked fine
for him. He says he's willing to send a "real" fix to you guys if he
can come up with one, and if you're willing to accept it. If you have
any other advice or comments, please let me know!
