Hello everyone, Here are the changes I've made to the boot-floppies package to support the PARISC architecture. Makefile: Added an entry for hppa support, make root.tar.gz common.sh: Small fixes to the functions that came up during debugging rescue.sh: - Define the hppa "floppy" type (ext2) - Use the "write_m68kinfo" for install.sh generation - Compress the kernel like powerpc/pmac arch rootdisk.sh: - Define the C library information for hppa - Don't do library reduction (this was failing with our binutils) utilities/dbootstrap/Makefile: - Change the -DKVER="${KVER}" to -DKVER="${kver}" to reflect the proper variable name. utilities/dbootstrap/bootconfig.c: - Support for PALO (our bootloader) utilities/dbootstrap/extract_base.c: - Change debootstrap cmd line to use file:%s instead of just %s. utilities/dbootstrap/main_menu.c: - Remove options that aren't applicable to PARISC. (Make boot floppy, PCMCIA, etc..) utilities/dbootstrap/partition_config.c: - Add PALO message for partition creation. There are a few more changes I needed to make to get a working installer for PARISC, unfortunately some of them are because of limitations in the current PARISC distribution (kernel.sh was modified to not require a kernel .deb since we currently don't have one and the constantly changing kernel makes it unwieldy to build kernel .debs). As well the root.bin needs to be larger than 3700K on parisc though I am working on reducing this number to hopefully fit in that limit. I will post a diff to boot-floppies shortly. - Paul
