As far as I know, I have done the same thing using two different approaches: o xski skiload o ski skiload But the problem is, it provides me with an error saying "Unknown OS ABI (9)" or something like that, and it errors out. The following are the commands I used to build the skiload, and the whole ia64-world: make world TARGET_ARCH=ia64 TARGET=ia64 -DNOSHARE -DNOINFO -DNOGAMES \ MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/c2/ia64 DESTDIR=/c2/build -DCPUTYPE=itanium (the above make command made world perfectly) make kernel KERNCONF=SKI TARGET=ia64 -DNO_MODULES=yes This also made the kernel perfectly without problems; and I also checked if the resulting object files, and binaries were ia64 ELF types; and fortunately they were (file output was given in original post). After trying the above commands and gaining failure, and also trying to find some reasonable docs on SKI and failing; I tried to use 'romload' in SKI to load skiload, but that when run dumps core, although I am sure that is not the correct way of doing it (using romload). ;) Is there something wrong I have done in this. NOTE: This ia64 world was made in a fresh "GCC-3" environment; and I am guessing it could be because of that, but I am not sure that this would be the problem. Help is very appreciated.
