Hi,
I have just bought a second hand 486DX2 (AMD) with 8Mb RAM and a 340 Mb
harddisk. I have a 3Com 3C509B network card. I installed FreeBSD via ftp
from ftp2.uk.freebsd.org, although I couldn't get X-Windows from there - I
had to change to ftp.uk.freebsd.org.
I tried to compile a kernel myself. It stopped with a compiling error. I
though i might have inadvertently screwed up the conf file, so I tried
the GENERIC conf file. However this won't compile either. I get one of two
messages. The first is:
ioconf.h:12: warning: previous declaration of `npxintr'
/var/tmp/co001535.s: Assembler messages
/var/tmp/co001535.s:713: Error: Invalid character (0xf) in opcode
/var/tmp/co001535.s:714: Rest of line ignored. First ignored character is
`,'.
at which point it stopped. The next error is even more worrying:
/var/tmp/cc000403.s: Assembler messages:
/var/tmp/cc000403.s:1075: Error: no such 386 instruction `t'
I have had several like this, with slight varaitions, one was hinting that
my 'puter didn't understand ANY 386 instructions! :(
I am totally stumped. It looks to me like an incompatibility with the AMD
chip. If anybody can help me I'd be very grateful.
-Thanks.
