Folks familiar with the SLS Linux distribution:
Around Dec. 2 Time frame, changes were made to the tsx-11 SLS dist. I
ftp'd files starting on 24 Nov, finishing up around the first of Dec.
After I installed the system, I rebuilt Linux (to test gcc), and it seemed
to build ok. Then, I realized the files in SLS were rearranged to reflect
the latest SLS distribution, and that some patched files were added. I
attempted to ftp the files that had dates newer than Nov 24 (most of a.. and
b..), after which I wiped the old stuff off my disk and repartitioned
/dev/hda2 to 64mB. I followed the automated installation which seemed to go
OK. I got X up and running. I made some changes to the Makefile for linux
and started to build the system. The kernel compiled OK, and for some
strange
reason, GCC appears to lock up when compiling tty_io.c. I waited over an
hour, hearing access noises from my IDE drive, but I couldnt even login
to another VC. SIGH. Ctrl-Alt-Del is the only way out. I followed the
directions in the README where Larz points out that links must be made.
Configuration: 386/40 4MbRam, 110Mb IDE. I am not sure how to tell what
release I have, but I think I have 0.98p5-40. (motd). I have AMI advanced
chipset (OPTI), and I have tried wait states, non-turbo mode etc.
Any Ideas ? there must be a 'pragma' I can set to allow me to see what GCC
is doing when it 'locks up'.
I may be doing something terribly wrong..... ;(
