[Manrix-devel] manrix boot on Intel x86

[Shakthi K. <gen...@ya...>]

Greetings!

I need some help on booting manrix on Intel x86 P4
system.

1. I downloaded manrix from:

http://manrix.sf.net/code/ManRiX.tar.gz

2. Extracted it and did make inside mickernel, servers
(busmngr, console, fs-io, miscio), soft (libc, cmd,
logd, ...) (The mount somehow failed as I didn't do it
as root, and I didn't want to use setup.sh either).
Using gcc-3.2.3.

3. I created a /boot/manrix directory and copied
conmngr, fsiomngr, init, kern, ls and msiciomngr to
it.

4. Updated my /boot/grub/menu.lst as follows:

title Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (2.4.21-4.EL)
	root (hd0,1)
	kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-4.EL ro root=LABEL=/
	initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.21-4.EL.img

title ManRiX OS
	root (hd0,1)
	kernel /boot/manrix/kern
	module /boot/manrix/conmngr
	module /boot/manrix/fsiomngr 2
	module /boot/manrix/init
	module /boot/manrix/misciomngr
	module /boot/manrix/ls

5. When I choose manrix on boot on grub, I get this
output and it stops there:

Booting 'ManRiX OS'
root (hd0,1)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/manrix/kern
  [Multiboot-elf, <0x100000:0xad1c:0x0>,

entry=0x100000]
module /boot/manrix/conmngr 
  [Multiboot module @ 0x114000, 0xc4b5 bytes]

  [Multiboot module @ 0x132000, 0xb017 bytes]
module /boot/manrix/misciomngr
  [Multiboot module @ 0x13e000, 0xc1f7 bytes]
module /boot/manrix/ls
  [Multiboot module @ 0x14b000, 0x9ccc bytes]

What is the output that I should get? Do I need to get
a console? 

Can anyone tell me as to what I am doing wrong and how
I can get manrix booted?

Thanks,

SK
