ben_kernel_install_hangs
Hello,
I‘m trying to install (change to) kernel 2.4.20-ben10 on
my mac 7300/180 which is already running “woody“ on a 2.2
kernel. Apparently i need a 2.4 kernel to mount/use a usb
pen drive (also good practice to install woody on my ibook).
After downloading the kernel-image, setting group/permissions to root,
moving both System map and vmlinux to /boot and copying vmlinux to the
Linux Kernels folder in my Mac´s System Folder, typing
"keyboard_sends_linux_codes=1"
as kernel argument in BootX and rebooting, i got :
Welcome to Linux, kernel 2.4.20-ben10

current = c03f60000, pid = 1, comm = swapper
mon>
and the cursor just kept on flashing, expecting me, no doubt, to type
something intelligent. After some googling, and discovered i might have to
change the video driver setting in BootX and rebooting, the process
went quite
a bit further ( detecting hubs, busses mice, etc) . It got to the line :
/dev/sdb8: clean, 99818/1300480 files, 65324/2596864 blocks
then the following message shows up in the middle of the screen in bold:
vector: 600 at pc =c007dc80, lr = c007dc78
msr =9032, sp = d1d13e70 [d1d13dc0]
dar = 7, dsisr = 5d07
current = d1d12000, pid = 32, comm = mount
mon> (flashing cursor)
As i can‘t come up with anything else by
myself, i wonder if someone could point me in the right direction.
