Building the kernel I got a parse error for drivers/char/m68kserial.c. I did a little change to the source, so it would compile. This is the diff, I probably gave the filenames the wrong way to diff... Its just a "||" exchanged by a ")" : --- m68kserial.c Sun Jul 27 19:24:53 1997 +++ m68kserial.c.orig Sun Jul 27 19:21:48 1997 @@ -1526,7 +1526,7 @@ if (req->line >= 0) { if (req->line >= NR_PORTS) return -EINVAL; - if (rs_table[req->line].type != PORT_UNKNOWN) + if (rs_table[req->line].type != PORT_UNKNOWN || #endif #ifdef CONFIG_WHIPPET whippet_init(); vfat doesn't work, hmm Jes wrote that... I accidently set sound card support and not Amiga native sound. The kernel didn't compile then. Ok, with this change I can mount and read/write 640'er MOs formatted on a PC. Supperfloppy and ext2 filesystems, just like on the PC :-)) The I wanted to format a media on the Amiga: mke2fs -b 2048 /dev/sdb Lot of numbers on the screen, but I can't mount it afterwards :-( Is there something wrong with mke2fs? I think its rather old, v0.5 something probably from watchtower. The new kernel seems to boot _much_ faster than 2.0.29, but this is the first time I'm using a developper kernel. I could live with formatting ext2 media on a PC (but not very long ;-) When will NSR (non sequential recording) and the AT HDD format be supported? I found a document about NSR at www.ecma.ch but I have no idea what to do with that, how to transform this into NSR support. Anybody working on that?
