Absolutely. I've attached the ones with the edits you've told me to make.

I don't know if it attatched properly... Oh, wait. The extension "sh" is not allowed...

Here it is.

Looks normal. I just had a small hunch... you didn't by any chance use a Windows program like WinZip to unzip the Visopsys source file, did you? I'm wondering if there are DOS/Windows linefeed characters added to the script. If you load it up in a program like emacs, you'd see stuff like ^m (I think) at the end of each line..

I am using Ubuntu to access files on my windows host (back in my initial post where I said Linux was in a VirtualBox) But the script doesn't work on the Linux unzipped version either...

:? Well I really can't see what the problem might be here. I guess I need to install a Ubuntu VM and give it a try. If you didn't already mention it upthread, can you say which version of Ubuntu you're using?

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx
Oracle VirtualBox 3.2.10 r66523

Thank you so much for helping me out. What version of Linux do you use?

Cheers, I'll try to get that running somewhere, perhaps this weekend. I've had a few people trying to develop using Ubuntu, and running into little problems (such as compiler errors/warnings) that don't occur on my system.

I use CentOS (RedHat) 4.3 and 4.4

To get around the make file errors, I took Makefile.include and took out the -Werror option so warnings wouldn't stop it. It seems to work until it starts to load... maybe this is the problem? Does it sound logical?

Progress! Used IMGBurn and tried it with a DVD setting and a UDF filesystem and i now can get to the splash screen! But after the spash screen I get another kernel panic! I attached a screen shot.
