[comp.os.minix] Need help with kernel building

greg@suntan.viewlogic.com (Gregory Larkin) (05/22/91)

Hi there,

I've recently applied the Virtual Console patches to my kernel.
I am now building a new kernel.  I would like to run ps(1) on my
system, so I have to make sure that the symbol table is applied to
kernel, mm, and fs.  I can't get the symbol table to stick to the
kernel!!!

I am using '-s' with asld, so a symbol table is getting put into a file
for me.  I then run 'ast'.  When I do a 'file' on kernel, it tells me
that it is stripped.  'nm' does not give me any output either!  This
procedure works correctly with mm and fs.  The weird thing is that it
did work before I applied the VC patches (I think :-) ).

Does anyone know what's happening here?

Thanks for any help
