The 1.6.24b distribution IS a minimal set of diffs to 1.5.10.  It is so
large because there have been so many changes.  It is true that the library
source is not provided in complete form, but the diffs are provided.

Because the Vrije Universiteit owns ACK and has a long-standing contract with
UniPress and Transmediair to distribute ACK in all of its forms.

It does work!  There are megabytes of GNU software out there for free,
much of which runs under MINIX.  There is also an excellent compiler
available for free, with full source code (cvw4.1).  It /doesn't/ only
run on the high-end machines, either - It's great on my low-end 68000
(you know, the one that isn't supporting the intel cadaver?).

Hi folks,

I want to install MINIX 1.5 on my TM3000 (386SX, 20MHz, 4MB RAM, 40MB HD, 1.44MB 3.5" FD). The only thing the machine tells me is : "Boot error ... Automatic reboot in progress" !

I tried all kinds of bootdisks shipped with MINIX. But no chance getting started.

Because it works fine on my poor old 8086, the disks must be o.k. Has anybody tried to install MINIX on a TM? Or is there any chance installing from my 8086 PC via the seriel port?

I am working with Phoenix Bios A386 Rel.1 1990
		  System Bios Rel. 1.03

Thanks for help,

Andreas

The Prentice Hall 1.5 version of ls.c doesn't even cache the last user 
name (the code says it does, but it doesn't).  It calls getpwnam() 
for _every_ file listed by ls.  I posted a two-line patch to ls on 
16 Sep 92 that fixed this problem.  Email me for the patch if you're 
running 1.5 and interested in fixing this problem.

But this doesn't sound like the problem listed above, otherwise it
would "stumble" for every file listed.

This is and oldie-but-goodie (FAQ years ago): The universal boot disk
uses the bios driver to access the hard disk(s). This driver is not
interrupt driven (or something of the kind), and thus cannot work in
protected mode. In real mode, Minix cannot access more than 1 MB RAM
similar to DOS. Apparently your Minix uses a good 200 kB for itself
leaving you with a pathetic 760 kB for programs.

The solution is easy: recompile Minix with the appropriate driver
(at_wini.c for you), and reboot.

The solution is easy: recompile Minix with the appropriate driver

>Any help would be appreciated.

Just one suggestion: for such a machine I highly recommend getting
the Minix-386 patches, giving you a genuine 32-bits machine. For
the unfaithful, if you're not into OS study, may I recommend Linux,
since that has much more features than Minix or Minix-386.

Hello minixers,

I've got a big problem. I don't know, if anyone else has the same, because
I don't use a standard version. I've got 1.5.10 ported to my self-made
machine (68000). So the problem I've got has something to do with pipes.
If i start Test13 of the distribution, there may be race conditions which
will block both processes, the writing one AND the reading one. None of both
runs anymore, both are waiting for FS. So that's not all. If I hit DEL
or CTRL-\ both processes will be killed (and in the case of SIGQUIT, the core
file written) and the shell just receives a lot of F's or E's until
I press DEL again, which leads to a deadlock of the system (MM waits for FS, FS waits for TTY and TTY is idle).
So, I'm not an expert in MINIX and I already lost a lot of my nerves searching
the bug, but I couldn't find it yet. Has anyone out there some hints, where
I have to search for this bug?


Please mail me, If you believe that you could help me. You would help a
(nerves-) poor man.

Thank you

It changed radically, to support POSIX, but that was something like two years

only one left that is not fixed.

Hi Netters, Hi Mr. Tanenbaum,

considering the size of the diffs, it seems that 1.6.24b is again
a "nearly-complete" minix-source package, as 1.6.23.... am I right?
(I can hardly imagine that there were ~100k diffs to nroff :-)

Some days ago, I had a dream that once we'll be able to download
a minimal set of diffs to 1.5.10 plus a complete library-source-tree
of the newest minix version. The library source as it is in
1.5.10 is a mess, patching it makes it even worse.
Will my dream ever become reality?

Greatings, Programs! "Tron" if you didn't remember.
 
I started this in hopes that this would thread into infinity.  This would
seem logical to have a continuing topic, with this subject on the net.
 
The first fix I have is for the IBMers out there. This deals with booting
on systems with IDE Hard drive controlers.
 
One of the symptoms, is a continus rebooting, or you never get out of the
disk continuously resetting its self.  There are two possible ways to fix
one is to eliminate the reset code from bootblok.s, or replace it with a
recalibrate drive (example to follow).  Removing the reset code could be
risky, because the system could lock, with out the code.
 
Replace, all incidents of the following code:
 
"xor      ax,ax       reset drive" *
 
with the following code:
 
"mov      ah,#0x11    recalibrate drive"
"mov      dl,#0x00    floppy drive 0   "
 
*note: ONLY replace lines that have the "reset drive" comment.
 
This should provide a bootable disk when you recompile the kernel.

The upgrades to address most of your complaints already exist;  they can
be ftp'ed from ftp.cs.vu.nl, plains.nodak.edu, and probably just about
any other major MINIX archive site.
