[comp.unix.msdos] Bruce's 386 kernel

bobmc@ibmpcug.co.uk (Bob McDermott) (10/17/90)

Hi everyone,
Could anyone help me with a wquery I have?
I am trying to install Briuce's 386 kernel and am receiving
the following message after pressing the '=' key :
             File system panic: FS can'yt report to MM
Everything appeared to compile correctly with Brusce's compiler
What is the best way to debug the OS , as printf statements 
don't work?

My machine is a Hyundai 386C with 4Mb memory.
Many thanks for any assistance,
Bob

My patches to build were incomplete, so it cannot handle the default 386 FS
because it has a data segment larger than 64K. Try recompiling FS with
NR_BUFS reduced to the 16-bit value. After bootstrapping, a 32-bit build
will handle the default FS.
