How to compile kernel 2.0.35 on Sparc?

1999-07-08 Thread Andreas Jaehnigen
Hi all,

I need to compile a 2.0.35 kernel on a Sparc SLC for several reasons:

- a patch for swapping over NFS exists only for this version
- the bwtwo grafics adaptor is supported correctly

The 2.2.x versions don't handle this, right?

Can anybody explain to me how to compile the 2.0.35 kernel on Sparc?
So far, I only changed the "ARCH" variable to "sparc" in the toplevel
makfile, but compilation fails after some time... :-((

Hi all,
anyone installed gmc under Linux Sparc.
I got an error in the end of install... :(
buildd.buildd user doesnt exist.
I added such user and the installation goes well.
Thanks, Paulo Henrique

No. You need a block device for a filesystem. A tape drive is a character
device.

Linux Filesystem on a DAT Tape ?????

1999-07-08 Thread Horst Wetzel
Hello everybody,

I have a SS10 with a DAT tape connected. 

Is it possible to put a filsystem on the tape so that I can mount it
like a floppy???

If it is possible, how can I do this?   

Regards, Horst.


Sparc64 kernel on Sparcstation 10 ?????

1999-07-08 Thread Horst Wetzel
Hello everybody,

I compiled successfully a sparc64 kernel on my SS10 but it does not
boot.
My question is, can I run a sparc64 kernel on a SS10? I need the kernel
to enable
solaris binary emulation. 

The 32bit kernel configuration has no option for solaris emulation.

I did this with kernel 2.2.10

Regards, Horst

Is it fixed in -10?  If not, have you filed a bug?
