I have been successful in compiling the 1.5.0 kernel on my machine. I have an 8 Mz Erso DTK motherboard with a WD RLL controller. I have 640K of memory. I had to do the following to successfully compile: * I did not have the crc program and had to extract that from the distribution in order to check the crc's. * I extracted the patches to lorder and tsort to order the library. I then used the posting regarding the non source entries in the library. * I had to reorder some include files in fs/misc.c and kernel/system.c in order to keep cpp from aborting. * I had to chmem both cpp to pass kernel/system.c and cem to pass tools/fsck.c * I ignored the incompatible pointers warnings. I also had to modify NR_SECTORS in floppy.c and set AUTO_BIOS in the config.h file to work with my hard disk. I am also having problems with the rs232 driver, but I will continue to work with this. All in all, I am impressed with the improvements I have seen so far to 1.5.0 and am looking forward to installing the commands updates. David Brown dbrown@ucsd.edu
