making a custom boot disk
by Eric Becker 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

I have some hp pc's that I'm trying to udpcast. They have broadcom netxtreme network cards which don't seem to be supported by the default boot disk, nor by the net-mod.tar.gz secondary floppy. I followed the directions here http://udpcast.linux.lu/current/makeImage.html#kernelCompile on making a custom boot disk by compiling my own kernel. Before doing anything I edited the Makefile and changed the "extra-version" parameter. I just deleted what was there and put in "-udpcast". I do a cd /usr/src/linux/2.4.20-20.9. Then I copy the udpc-config.txt file to this dir and name it .config. Next I do a "make oldconfig" which runs fine and so does the "make dep". However; when I do a "make bzImage" it runs for a while and then it stops with errors regarding devfs? What am I doing wrong? I even tried to download the RPM with a pre-compiled kernel and its modules, but I'm unsure what do with it. Can someone please point me in the right direction? All I need is a boot disk with the Broadcom drivers that gets me udpcasting.

For some reason i cant use a predefined udpcfg.txt on my floppies. And when I'm going throug the menus, it dosn't ask for saving configuration. I have tried with two files on the floppy. info and udpcfg.txt.

UDPcast on a Mac again

Installed Yellowdog, compiled udpcast-20030831.tar.gz, works fine from there, but what do I need to do next to start making bootable CD's. I'll be happy to RTFM, but please point me towards the right manual. Here's my questions. - What's the tar.gz for the boot image generator? - Syslinux won't make without mingw-gcc, can't find that tar.gz either, or at least I can't tell which tar.gz will make install that command. - No bzimage on my machine. Does this mean I get to learn my first kernel complile? - Is all this even doable? Thanks for the help. Nate. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
