About a week ago I installed EasyMint 1.52. Then I experimented with the Mint 1.16.0 kernel. I switched frequently between kernel 1.15.12, 1.16.0 and my MagiC setup. Since last Thursday a strange problem occured: I can no longer boot the XAAES with the MINT 1.16 kernel. Here are the messages that I get when booting the 1.16.0 kernel: ----------------------------------------------- Starting up the idle process (pid 0) ... done! Reading 'u:/c/mint/1-16-0/mint.cnf' ... 1873 bytes done. Installing BIOS keyboard table ... AKP code 1. Loading unicode table 'u:/c/mint/1-16-0/unicode.tbl' ... error -33 No init program specified to be started. Starting up 'u:/c/mint/1-16-0/sh.tos' ... error -33 Giving up, reverting to internal shell. ----------------------------------------------- Here is my MINT.CNF: -----------------cut here ------------------------------ FS_CACHE_SIZE=200 FS_VFAT=A,D,E,F,G #FS_VFAT_LCASE=YES #FS_WB_ENABLE=D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,V,W,X,Y,Z #FS_WRITE_PROTECT=R,S #FDC_HIDE_B=YES # KERN_SECURITY_LEVEL= enables the appropriate security level: # 0 - recommended for single user setups, like MultiTOS (default). # 1 - recommended for multiuser setups, like KGMD. # 2 - full protection, unsupported by software, thus discouraged. # KERN_SECURITY_LEVEL=1 #TPA_INITIALMEM=1024 #PROC_MAXMEM=4096 # # The default is the console. # #KERN_DEBUG_LEVEL=1 #KERN_DEBUG_DEVNO=3 # # KERN_BIOSBUF controls how BIOS I/O is performed. # KERN_BIOSBUF=NO # # Here are some commands that you can give to MiNT: # # alias d: path -- make a fake "drive" that actually points to the # given path # cd path -- changes MiNT's default directory # echo message -- print something on the screen # exec program -- runs a program; you must give the complete path # and file extensions (e.g. c:/bin/echo.prg) # include file -- include another portion of the MINT.CNF file. # sln path link -- make a symbolic link named "link" pointing to "path" # "link" must be on drive U: for this to work # Setting up the root filesystem for UNIX environment sln d:/bin u:/bin sln d:/boot u:/boot sln d:/etc u:/etc sln d:/home u:/home sln d:/lib u:/lib sln d:/mnt u:/mnt sln d:/opt u:/opt sln d:/root u:/root sln d:/sbin u:/sbin sln d:/tmp u:/tmp sln d:/usr u:/usr sln d:/var u:/var # start Draconis to MiNT-Net gateway #exec u:/boot/mint/mgw.prg # start Gluestik #exec u:/boot/mint/gluestik.prg # start XaAES INIT=u:/c/mint/1-16-0/xaaes/xaloader.prg # # The "echo" command is really straightforward. # echo Setup complete, now booting the system... echo --------------------------cut here ------------------------------- The XA-Loader is in the specified directory - I also entered a different file as init (sh.tos), but the error messages stay the same. It seems that somehow the kernel lost his ability to parse the CNF file correctly. I checked my CNF in hexmode looking for strange characters, but didn't find anything... What is wrong here?
