How to change a module to a character device driver

2001-07-07 Thread Barry Wu



Hi, all,

I am new to linux device driver. I do not know
how to change a module to a character device driver.
I have a module by hand, I want to modify it
to a character device driver. Then I can make it
in linux kernel, and do not need modutils rpm.
If someone knows, please help me. Thanks!

about linux mips ext2fs

2001-06-25 Thread Barry Wu


Hi, all,

I want port linux to our mipsel system. The kernel
can work and system stop at mount root file system.
I download root file system for mipsel from MIPS
company. Because our system have no ethernet
interface,
I have to copy root file system directly to our hard
disk. I put hard disk under intel linux, and using 
fdisk and make ex2fs on it. Then I copy root file 
system to hard disk. After finished, I place this hard
disk under our mipsel environment. I do not know if 
it can work under this environment, the kernel can
mount root file system? If someone knows, please help
me.
Thanks in advance!

How to boot linux kernel from floppy

2001-01-07 Thread Barry Wu

Hi, all,

I am new to this maillist. I want to boot my system
from a single floppy. If I use 1.44MB, the space
is too small. So I format my floppy to 1.6MB.
I do the following things,

#fdformat /dev/fd0H1600
#cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage /dev/fd0
#rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/fd0
#rdev -r /dev/fd0 49552

When I boot from floppy, the console print:
Loading...
But then not print other things, then system
reboot again.
I read arch/i386/boot/bootsect.S file and find
no support for 1.6MB floppy. How can I support
this floppy in kernel? 
If someone knows, please help me.
Thanks in advance!
