I am having trouble with MINIX and my hard disk.... IBM PCAT and whatever they
put in as a 30 meg drive. I am using MINIX 1.2. I have the PC distribution,
the AT is a new addition, and it can not deal with my hard disk so I am trying
to remake the kernel with at_wini.c. While making the kernel MINIX warns me
my RAM disk is full and when I do a build it warns me about the length of the
kernel. My guess was that the RAM disk error ruined the kernel compilation,
could this be so? If not why would the kernels length be wrong?
Next question. I decided that if the RAM disk was filling up I should follow
the make files advice for the PC (since my disks are the PC distribution) and
remove /lib/cem and /lib/cpp. Well even as root I could not do it! rm -f
failed.... my next guess was to mount root, delete /cem and /cpp from there
and reboot.... no deal, I could not remove them from the root mounted as /user
either?!? Whats the deal? I thought that a root using rm could not be
blocked?
