Perhaps someone here works with 2.1.x kernels and can tell me what I'm
missing... I needed to install 2.1.45 to get some hardware working.
My newly compiled 2.1.45 can't handle DOS filesystems correctly:
$ ls /dos
ls: /dos/ibmbio.com: No such file or directory
ls: /dos/ibmdos.com: No such file or directory
ls: /dos/command.com: No such file or directory
ls: /dos/exitemu.com: No such file or directory
ls: /dos/opendos: No such file or directory
ls: /dos/config.sys: No such file or directory
ls: /dos/autoexec.bat: No such file or directory
ls: /dos/security.bin: No such file or directory
ls: /dos/opendos.386: No such file or directory
-- What I did:
o I'm running Debian (stable) 1.3
o I downloaded linux-2.1.45.tar.gz from tsx-11 and checked out
/usr/src/linux-2.1.45/Documentation/Changes. It said I needed the
following versions:
- Kernel modules modutils-2.1.34 ; insmod -v
- Gnu C 2.7.2.1 ; gcc --version
- Binutils 2.8.1.0.1 ; ld -v
[I had: GNU ld version cygnus-2.7.1 (with BFD 2.7.0.9)]
- Linux C Library 5.4.23 ; ls -l /lib/libc.so.*
- Dynamic Linker (ld.so) 1.8.5 ; ldd -v
- Linux C++ Library 2.7.2.1 ; ls -l /usr/lib/libg++.so.*
- Procps 1.01 ; ps --version
- Procinfo 0.11 ; procinfo -v
- Mount 2.6g ; mount --version
[I had: mount: mount-2.6d]
- Net-tools 1.41 ; hostname -V
- Loadlin 1.6a
- Sh-utils 1.16 ; expr --v
- Autofs 0.3.3 ; automount --version
- NFS 0.4.21 ; showmount --version
o To comply with requirements, I installed the following from unstable:
mount_2.6g-2.deb
binutils_2.8.1-2.deb
libc6_2.0.4-1.deb
libbfd2.8.1_2.8.1-2.deb
o Still, the Changes file said I needed binutils 2.8.1.0.1 instead
of 2.8.1, so I downloaded binutils 2.8.1.0.1 from tsx-11 and installed it.
$ ld -v
GNU ld version 2.8.1 (with BFD linux-2.8.1.0.1)
o I compiled a 2.1.45 kernels, but it doesn't like any DOS filesystems:
$ df

)

What am I missing?
