Hey all ! I wanted to boot 2.6 kernel configured for ia64 architecture on ia32 archi using hp ski simulator ! But I failed to do so ! I followed the following steps: 1) I used 'make ARCH=ia64 menuconfig' to configure and followed the steps to get kernel image of version 2.6 ! I also selected the generic type as Ski-simulator and also selected the HP-ski drivers something simscsi,etc.etc. 2) After this I gave the following command for the ski installed in my OS kernel version 2.6 : $ ski bootloader vmlinux simscsi=/var/ski-disks/sd 3) Then gave run to start the process.The screen with the output as "loading vmlinux" was displayed and the process halted....no working further ! Querries: 1) I am not getting what is happenning for 2.6 configured with ia64....??? ......But I also downloaded the bootloader and vmlinux for 2.4 from Hp ski simulator home site and tried with the above 2 steps and the 2.4 kernel was booted successfully....I dont know whether this kernel image is configured for ia64 but whatever it worked ! 2) Does ski supports for 2.6 kernel configured with ia64 archi as done in above step no : 2) ?? 3) How can we use sda i.e simulated filesystem....like can we mount it ?? Or whenever the kernel is booted using ski command the filesystem it uses is sda ??? Thank You....
