Hello! Here you can find X86-64 linux floppy!
It includes:
1) Linux Kernel 2.6.11-cko5 64bit + IA32 Emulation
2) BusyBox 1.00 20050704 (32bit) snapshot
3) uClibC (32-bit) 0.9.?
3) FASM 1.62 (elfexe and elfexe64 from examples won't run, look at the forum)
4) Nbench (32bit) benchmark

In package you can find emulator (QEMU X86_64)!
P.S This package is first LINUX Floppy :? :D

is this package able to emulate x86_64 user code, in other words - can it execute ELF64 binarys?
can you post a link to the forum-thread you mentioned, please?

Yes, this package can execute ELF64 binaries. The base of it is a QEMU - PC emulator, with x86_64 emulation. There is linux 2.6.11 for x86_64 on floppy. QEMU executes this floppy, and gives you full X86_64 linux kernel, but more slowly, than on a real AMD64 CPU.

I have installed full Mandrake Linux 10.2 for X86_64 on QEMU!! ))))
And I can make linux64 pak with gcc, binutils, libc (if you want ))).

elfexe64 won't run, because I use linux 2.6.11, which needs writable .bss section in your EXE. (http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=3689)

So, fixed code (works in emulator!):
Code:
; fasm demonstration of writing 64-bit ELF executable

format ELF64 executable

section readable writeable

msg db 'Hello 64-bit world!',0xA
msg_size = $-msg

section readable executable

entry $

        mov     eax,4
        mov     ebx,1
        mov     rcx,msg
        mov     edx,msg_size
        int     0x80

        mov     eax,1
        xor     ebx,ebx
        int     0x80

section readable executable
    dummy dd ?
               db ?
               dw ?
    


Some info: http://development.pisem.net/linux64.htm

P.S The kernel on floppy is real X86_64 exe (kELF64?)! You can try to run it on 32bit machine - it will stop, because 32bit cpu cannot run 64bit kernel ))). SYS.IMA - is a 1.44MB floppy image.

Is there a x86-32 for floppy too? I've tried several in the past (don't remember which ones), but never got them working. I like Linux but one of my computers' hard drive is not working and until I get a new one I still want to use the computer (the old one is a 486). Does anyone use a 32-bit floppy Linux, and if so, what do you recommend and where can I download it? Thanks.

PS. I am not expecting a full system configuration (GNU utilities, GUI's, etc.) I just want an OS that I can use and have at least a basic Linux kernal, with the few basic programs that Linux always has.

THEWizardGenius: Yes, I can make 32bit linux for you! Now I listen MP3s on my old 486 (8MB RAM) with sound card and CD-ROM [without HDD] )))). I make LINUX for myself, because I want have fully customized mini-linux. Tell me please your 486 full config(cpu model, sound card?, maybe CD-ROM??, network?), and I shall make linux floppy for you. )))

I am using an old laptop with a soundcard that doesn't work and no CD-ROM. I will see if I can find the model. I have 16MB RAM on the laptop. I don't have a network yet.
The computer with an HD that doeesn't work is a Intel Celeron processor. It has 256MB RAM, 1.8GHz processor, and a working CD-RW drive. It also has an integrated sound card, and unfortunately I have no clue what the Port, DMA, or IRQ for this card is (it might be PnP, I don't know).
Thanks!

As I promised I have made for you mini 32bit linux for 486. It has only base utils, no special programs. Kernel have support for COM ports, LPT, optionally CD-ROM and HDD, VGA16 Framebuffer (640x480), PCI, ISA, PnP, RCT, loopback, ramdisk, APM (for laptop)) and other. Supported fs: VFAT, EXT2, EXT3, Compressed BZIP2 Ext2, NTFS, SquashFs 2.1, Minix, ROM etc. No network or sound support. For your Celeron I can recommend DSL(Damn Small Linux) - a Linux On CD (50 MB) with XFree (http://www.damnsmalllinux.org), or BIG Knoppix (700 MB on CD = ~2GB compressed soft).

This kernel on floppy supports HDD and CD-ROM, but first you must load modules for it.
To load drivers:
for CD-ROM: modprobe ide-cd; modprobe cdrom
for HDD: modprobe ide-disk
The rootfs of system is SquashFs - compressed read only FS, but important folders (/var,/root,/tmp,/mnt,/etc) are remount to tmpfs (RAMFS) for read-write access. For device management, system use DevFS, so you don't need to manually add you devices into /dev.

If you will have some wishes or questions, please tell it!! I shall be very happy ))))

Soft On Floppy:
Linux Kernel 2.6.11-cko5 (I don't like 2.6.12 )))
BusyBox 1.00 20050704 (system utilities in one exe ))
uClibC 0.9.27 (mini C library)
and some config files

All Soft On Floppy Is Optimized For 486, Kernel Optimization Is For Speed.

I have a vfat drive on the laptop. I used the modprobe command to install the hard disk module. However, when I used the mount command a bunch of error messages showed up:

"-t and -C options not supported"
and
"Unsuccessful mount: directory not found"

These are not the exact messages, but you get the idea. Am I doing something wrong? How do I mount/use a vfat (or any other type) filesystem in SYSLINUX?

No, SYSLINUX is Linux loader. Hmm, if you had hdd on laptop, i shall recompile kernel, to built-in drivers. I have tested system now, I have saw that bug. I shell fix it today. ))

Ok, I had updloaded updated linux.
http://development.pisem.net/sys486.zip

And it has a new featurte: On boot system tries to mount floppy and run init script from it. You can edit A:\init to customize linux boot (or mount hdd). HDD drivers now are built-in kernel. No modules need.

Example how to mount hda1:
mkdir /mnt/hd;
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hd;

I used many programs to built this system, but it all are free (GLP). Info: http://development.pisem.net/linux64.htm. To built this system I used no scripts, but I used /dev/hands, /dev/internet (/dev/ppp0) Wink I rebuilt kernel much more than 50 times )). And All I do with hands, I read many documentation. If you had some questions, you can tell it!
