Trouble making a filesystem

[Andrew Duane]

I'm having trouble making a working filesystem for my OCTEON1 kernel to run on. I do a "buildworld", but there are three problems:

1) Most of the executables won't execute, they give "Exec format error". The problem seems to be with dynamically linked executables. When I rebuilt "/bin/sh" as a static executable, it worked OK. I guess I could manually fix every Makefile to use static linking, but that seems absurd.

2) Some things aren't being populated. For example, that the only thing in the buildworld output of etc is sendmail. In the installworld output there are a handful of subdirectorties, but no "rc" files.

3) Eventually, the kernel tips over with:

   panic: sched_priority: invalid priority 231: nice 0, ticks 1955000 ftick 14022821 ltick 14023821 tick pri 59

Any thoughts on what I'm missing?
