R: [Netkit.users] Problems with Netkit on powerpc

[Massimo Rimondini]

Hi Stefano,
 
I'm afraid you're in bad luck. Such message ("cannot execute binary file")
is an evidence of the fact that the kernel supplied with Netkit is an ELF
binary, that is, not compatible with binary formats your host kernel would
expect.
 
Moreover, the Netkit kernel has been compiled on an i386 architecture, i.e.,
using a compiler (gcc) producing i386 (and not PowerPC) targeted
executables.
 
All things considered, I think the best trial would be to compile the Netkit
kernel on your own. Documentation about this is provided in the man page
"netkit-kernel". If you choose to go along this way and require further
support, let me know.
 
Regards,
Massimo.

Oggetto: [Netkit.users] Problems with Netkit on powerpc



Hello, I installed ubuntu linux on my powerbook to test it and to use netkit
without problems (like the absence of "fuser"command and similar...) 
So, I tried netkit: seeing the output of "check_configuration" I was very
happy: a list of ok (except for konsole term, of course -> I'm a gnome
user); unfortunately,
when I use "vstart", the console doesn't appear and file.disk is not
created. Reading file.log, it says "cannot execute binary file": could be
depend on my kernel version? Using "uname" linux command it seems I use a
2.6 kernel but powerpc version...
do you have about advices?

regards, stefano
