Hello from Gregg C Levine Jon, this time the command worked. I was able to have my BitKeeper client clone your applications to my local directory. I was even able to build them correctly.
Which was the purpose of my original message. For some reason yesterday, I was not able to build them correctly, and decided to repeat the processes.
I strongly suggest you should copy the contents to an CVS server someplace, especially since we don't know when the next outage is planned for bkbits.net, it could be later today, or tomorrow, or not at all. ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon@worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."

bkbits.net is offline probably due to the spat between ODSL and Bitmover. I think some people are mad and keep taking it down.
I will have to move it to a sourceforge cvs project. I'll post after it is moved.

Hello (again) from Gregg C Levine Jon, is your BK repository offline? Early this morning I needed to resynch my cloned posting with yours, following your excellent instructions, (CF. Also on March 26, 2005), and I received a "Connection timed out error" message.
However, the same thing happens with regards to the clone made following the instructions from the company, so I'm thinking its
my
ISP acting up.
When you get a chance can you create a tar file of your ROM
posting
app? If you want to send it to me as an FTP transfer, rather then
as
an attachment, I've got an FTP server running here, it can accept uploads. Write me off list with the details you'll need, and I'll
do
the same.

I put two new posting apps, a vm86 version and emu86 version out
on:
bk://mesa3d.bkbits.net/rom
Get klibc from: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/klibc/
Install it somewhere and build it. You need to make a link to
the
kernel source in the top level klibc directory. In this
directory
make
a link from the klibc-xxx directory to klibc.
Both projects will then build. v86bios uses vm86 to run the rom post uses emu86
Use an environment variable to pick the card to be acted on: export DEVPATH=/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0
vm86 is 20K non-debug emu86 is 40K non-debug
Currently they don't use Ben's VGA arbiter which isn't ready
yet.
When
finished these app will automatically be triggered on driver
load as
part of the hotplug process.
The source to vm86 is from the linux BIOS project where is has
been
worked on to make it substantially smaller. I like to keep
everyone
on
the same source code base if possible.
Once we get these cleaned up and working I'm hoping to get them
added
to the klibc project. Once in klibc, klibc is schedule to go
into
the
kernel sooner or later.
They are both partially working but fail part way through the
posting
process. I've been playing with them a couple of days and I
can't
figure out why they are failing. They are both failing for
different
reasons. Can anyone help?
