I'm dealing with _exactly_ the same problem and tried several times
to
overcome this. No progress; -yet!
Keep trying.

I did chmem +100000 mkfs and I got it compiled.
mkfs on 3.1.2a could handle it.

Ah yes, this is a result of more device nodes appearing on the
boot ramdisk (svn r2751); I've added it to the UPDATING notes.

I got as far as booting the 3.1.3rc1 but got stuck on:
Cannot mount c0d0p2s2 on /usr

Tried both the
"chmem +100000 mkfs "
and
"touch mkfs.c ; make /usr/bin/mkfs in /usr/src/commands/simple"
paths.
The first option worked for me
_but not_ before i renamed /etc/drivers.conf.sv
(Which i'd done before) back to /etc/drivers.conf .

I had to mount and change from another minix(3.1.2a)_disk,
to be able to do this.
Still, i have a few things in the bootmessages:
"
PM : in no_sys, call nr 83 from 35631
Warning, TTY got illegal request 100 from 35631
sizeup ioctl : Invalid argument
used fstat instead
mkfs : this device can't hold a filesystem
"
i guess i'm current now
thanks,

martin

I did the drivers.conf.sv fiddle as you described it.
The 3.1.3rc1 now runs on my machine.

I got the same bootmessages as above.
So I am current now too

I run with boot option "ata_no_dma=1" as I was having
trouble with VIA DMA timeouts.

I will be testing mostly the network stuff.

thanks

Upgrading to current 3.1.3rc1 under 3.1.2a.
This worked for me:

1) mv /usr/src /usr/src~
2) untar the 3.1.3rc1 src.tar in /usr

3) cp /usr/src/etc/binary_sizes* /etc
4) binsizes big
5) cd /usr/src/commands/flex-2.5.4
6) sh build
7) cd /usr/src/etc
8) make install
9) mv /etc/drivers.conf /etc/drivers.conf.hide
10) chmem +100000 /usr/bin/mkfs
11) cd /usr/src
12) make includes
13) make libraries
14) make cmds
15) mv /etc/drivers.conf.hide /etc/drivers.conf
16) make depend
17) cd /usr/src/tools
18) make hdboot
19) make install
20) cd ..
21) make install
You should get this: make in /usr/src: Exit code 2
22) reboot -x 'unset image; boot'
23) login as root
24) cd /usr/src
25) make install

I hope this will work for you too.
