Was: boot-floppies report: success! not!
I'm jealous; could you identify which kernel you are using that is working with
your IIci (and where I can get it)?
I tried the last kernel I found referred to in this discussion
(vmlinux-2.2.14-20000324.gz) as well a the one contained in
bf-mac_2.2.11_m68k.tar.gz, and neither worked on my SE/30 (currently running
2.0.36, using Penguin 1.8). I am testing on this machine before trying it out on
my Mac II, which is happily providing IP masquerading; but I would dearly love
to get to a 2.2.x kernel so I can use ipchains, which I understand is more
secure, as well as some of the other neat masquerade tools I see coming up in
potato... These are my results; note that unless otherwise indicate, they are
the same whether I have pointed root to /dev/ram or to my currently running
/dev/sdb2:
*With Penguin 1.7:
With Penguin 1.7, using the 2.2.11 kernel, the root.bin it came with as the ram
disk, I get as far as "ABCDEFGHIJ" when it hangs.
With Penguin 1.7 and the 2.2.14 kernel, Penguin 1.7 at least gets me to the
SCSI errors I have reported previously, which start as soon as the partition
check starts, when I have it set up to point to /dev/sdb2/. When set up to point
to /dev/ram, it dies at "J" as with the 2.2.11.
*With Penguin 1.8:
The 2.2.14 kernel freezes before I can even get out of the Penguin booter if I
use the Penguin 1.8; it reports:
-slot_int.set: slot 0x09 drvr_ref -51 spID 0x80 spExtDev 0x00 ON 0
-slot_int_set: slot 0x0E drvr_ref -49 spID 0x80 spExtDev 0x00 ON 0
then tries to boot anyway, and hangs. .
When I try the kernel from the 2.2.11 kernel with Penguin 1.8, I get:
invalid compressed format (err=2)
Error:
Unable to read exec header from kernel file (sread error)
Someone ... anyone ... please help....
