[Gomf-general] steps to build floppy

[Lonnie C. <lo...@ou...>]

Greetings,

does someone have a document that explains the steps to build the floppy
from scratch?

I would like to build an updated floppy image with a newer kernel and also
wnat ot be able to boot it in coLinux.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Lonnie

[Gomf-general] gomf requires tsc

Hello!

Downloaded gomf from sourceforge - it seemed to be targeted for the i386 
architecture so I gave it a try on my 486:s.

It did almost accept my i486. But the kernel is compiled for using the Pentium 
TSC feture - and stops.

There is a known bug in the Linux kernels used for OpenMosix, or rather in the 
kernels menuconfig: Always run "make oldconfig" after doing a menuconfig (if 
changing the processor type from lets say 686 to 386) and the TSC option will 
be corrected. If this is not done, a i386 or i486 kernel wont work because 
the TSC option is stuck and its code put into the kernel.

I wont register to this list for now. Please send me a mail telling me if gomf 
will be corrected - recompiled without the need of TSC or if it is intended 
to be only for i686 or such.

Best regards,
Patrik Arvhult
