[comp.os.minix] 1.5.0 kernel problems

brian@trantext.UUCP (Brian Bainter) (05/05/90)

Well, the conversion process from 1.3 to 1.5.9 is proceding nicely.  I
am now in the process of trying to do a build on the 1.5.0 kernel and
I am experiencing some problems doing the build.  I have a XT compatible.
Nothing special.  I am able to compile up the kernel, mm, fs, and tools/*
all without any problems now.  However, when I run build, it seems to work
fine until it starts checking magic numbers for the kernel and mm.  When
it gets to there, I get a message which says:

    Build: mm click_shift does not match kernel's

and then the build aborts.  I don't know what the flip is wrong, so if
someone could enlighten me, I would be most greatful.

Thanks,

The same thing happened to me, when I was building 1.5.0...
The problem with mine was that I forgot to copy the new *.s files from lib/ibm
to /usr/lib (head.s in particular).  When I recompiled with
the new head.s (I thing that was the only *.s file that changed)
it worked fine.

My intention was to mail Brian today to tell him what I know, but someone else
posted with the same problem.  This happened to me when I was installing Bruce
Evans' protected mode, and I cured it by updating all the files in
[/lib /usr/lib] like head.s and so on.  Check this first, and good luck!
