Here some steps how you get pcmcia working. All steps can be done on a
normal GNU/Linux system (no cross compiler needed).
1. Download oskit-20020317 from directly from [1] or better from
Debian [2].
If you downloaded directly from [1], don't forget to apply the Debian
patches (can be downloaded from Debian or from my web site [3])
2. Download gnumach (cvs version).
# cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/hurd login [ENTER]
# cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/hurd co gnumach
3. Download the pcmcia patch for oskit [4] and the patch for gnumach
which enables pcmcia [5].
There are also few other patches which might be interesting [6].
gnumach-oskit-path.patch: adds --with-oskit options to configure
gnumach-gdb-trap-stub.patch: adds a new kernel trap (see Igor's
HowTo for gnumach debugging [7])
4. I assume here, you downloaded the OSKit source from [1].
# tar xfvz oskit-20020317.tar.gz
# tar xfvz oskit-20020317-misc-patches.tar.gz
# cat 0?-* | patch -p 0
# bzcat oskit+pcmcia-20021114.patch.bz2 | patch -p0
# mkdir -p build/oskit-20020317 && cd build/oskit-20020317
# ../../oskit-20020317/configure --enable-debug
# make && make install
5. I had some problems gnumach finding oskit, therefore I wrote a
small patch (gnumach-oskit-patch.patch) which adds --with-oskit=PATH to
gnumach. It's not likely you need it. Just in case...
# cat gnumach-oskit-path.patch | patch -p 0
6. # cat gnumach-oskit+pcmcia.patch | patch -p 0
# mkdir build/gnumach && cd build/gnumach
# CVSFLAG="-g -O2" ../../gnumach/configure --with-oskit=PATH
# make
# cp kernel /gnu/boot/gnumach
This version of gnumach comes with debugging symbols, which is quite
usefull if you want to debug :)
For those whose pcmcia cards are not detected and you want me to make
oskit-pcmcia recognize your cards you have to send me the *exact*
output form cardctl under GNU/Linux, e.g.
wagi@aragorn:~$ cardctl ident
Socket 0:
no product info available
Socket 1:
product info: "3Com", "OfficeConnect 572B", "B", "001"
manfid: 0x0101, 0x0574
function: 6 (network)
And then it would usefull to know which driver is bind to your
card. If you have pcmcia support for Linux as modules configured than
a lsmod might help, e.g.
wagi@aragorn:~$ lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
3c574_cs 10368 1
ds 6720 2 [3c574_cs]
...
