Hey guys. i’m having problems getting photon to work on my 486 dx 75 Mhz
laptop.
It has a western digital video adapter, but I just want to get it to run
period, i’m not worried about resolution or color depth right now. The
laptop does not have a built in CD rom, so I did the install from my desktop
with an IDE adapter. It works fine in both photon and the console on the
desktop(tnt2 video card agp) but when I put the hard drive into the laptop
it gave me several errors.
The first error was
“could not find libph.so.2”
so I opened the ph startup file in the /usr/bin directory to find the lib
paths, and copied the libph.so.2 file to all of them
after that, it recognized the lib file, but got stuck, and told me
“Bus error (core dumped)”
and sat for a while and said
“Unable to load font server.
Please check to make sure photon is installed correctly.”
I did a ph -v command to figure out what the problem was, and it cycled
through testing all the phfont systems, didn’t find one that worked, and
then exited, giving the above error. Is there any way I can get around this
without having done the install directly on the laptop?
I would really like to a windows system running on it. And so far QNX w/
photon is the most compact and scalable, for the 340Mb hard drive space.
FreeBSD gave me swap problems, as did QNX in the begining which I got
around, and RedHat’s standard compile doesn’t support the 486 architecture.
Any suggestions please respond or email me at virtualender@hotmail.com.
Thanx guys.
Hi,
Take a look in the online Photon Documentation concerning embedding Photon.
There you can find usefull tips on howto install Photon on a embedded
system. The docs explain to you how to install the libraries and so on. This
is a good starting point.
