m68k boot-floppies
Hi,
out of curiosity, I tried to build boot-floppies for m68k. This does not
mean, I want to maintain them for m68k, Michael Schmitz <MSchmitz@lbl.gov>
is still listed for this, you might at least update his email...
the problems from the m68k jury:
./check_mirror.sh /debian/dists/potato/main/binary-m68k
checking packages needed in the root disk
Can't find package pmac-fdisk-cross
checking packages needed in the base system
Can't find package pciutils
Can't find package pmac-fdisk-cross
E: ./check_mirror.sh abort
Both packages do not exist for m68k (at least on my mirror). m68k machines
have no PCI bus (dont they? Mine doesnt, AFAIK).
pmac==powermac? I do not even see this package for i386.
I set kernel version to 2.0.36, since 2.2.10 debs are not yet officially
availalbe for all subarches (there are debs, but at least on amiga this
kernel does not run stable, it supports less hardware (grafics boards) than
2.0.36, and the users have not been giving too many comments if they are
usable or not. I am not sure if we ever get suitable 2.2. debs for m68k).
./rescue.sh atari /debian/dists/potato/main/binary-m68k/base/kernel-image-2.0.36-atari_2.0.36-1.deb rootatari.bin 720 2.2 atari C
I: making loop filesystem in /tmp/fimgvrscim, size 720k
720+0 records in
720+0 records out
I: formatting and conditioning the new image
./rescue.sh: mkdosfs: command not found
E: ./rescue.sh abort
I had to apt-get install dosfstools, should it be listed as dependency?
I: installing atari bootloader
cp: m68k-specials/bootstra.ttp: No such file or directory
E: ./rescue.sh abort
make[1]: *** [resc720atari.bin] Error 1
Maybe I should look at Michaels files, this is not included in the
boot-files deb, so I tried building without atari support.
I: determining set of required libraries
E: the following required libraries weren't extracted: /lib/libncurses.so.5 /lib/libreadline.so.4
E: ./rootdisk.sh abort
make[1]: *** [rootamiga.bin] Error 255
fin. Why is this? I do have both libraries, they are installed and all is
well. Why werent they extracted? From where? Can it be due to my 2.0.36
kernel (not that a kernel should contain/depend on libncurses/readline).
Completely clueless here,
Christian
