My Xenix filesystem for Linux is ready for general distribution. I hope to
have it on tsx-11 shortly, but until then email me if you want it.

To the beta testers: there are no bug fixes, just some cosmetic changes.

The implementation lacks divvy support and badtrk support.
It also lacks mkfs, fsck, and fsdb: I boot Xenix when I need them.
I just don't need them badly enough and don't see a big enough audience to
warrant putting any time into it.

Some general info: my entire Linux system is now on Xenix partitions
(so I can back them up to my Jumbo 250 tape drive - from Xenix -
kind of an expensive backup program I know :-).

Well, I can't speak for the MCC release, but I don't use any sort of
release engineering software of note - just use the previous release
as a base and add/modify it from there.  Probably not the most
efficient way to do things, but it gets the job done.  :)

Given the fact that DOS' fdisk is willing to create only one DOS
partition outside the extended partition, I must assume you created
those partitions with a Linux fdisk.  Among the options on that fdisk
program should be an option to change the type of a partition.  Try
changing it to DOS 16 bit FAT >= (or <=, as the case may be) 32 Mb.
If DOS still doesn't like that, *then* delete at least the DOS partition
and make that partition with DOS' fdisk.

Date: 19 Aug 92 05:07:40 GMT

Hi, me again.

I'm having more problems stemming from the installation of MGR on my system.
My problem now is that I was compiling and then for no apparent reason, the
nsystem decided to reboot.  Whenh I brought linux up again, I lost a
directory.  This what happened:

In my /etc/rc I execute a fsck -sav on all my file systems because I lost an
entire drive once and I'm in no mood to have it happen again.  Executing this
command gives me an error message saying that /usr/src/mgr/usr.lbin is no
longer a valid directiry because . isn't first and .. isn't second.  That's
all fine and dandy but now, I can't remove it from my drive.  rmdir says that
the directory is not empty and rm says -rf says that device 0304 (or 0403,
whichever it is) contains an invalid directory and won't remove it.

What do I do now?

(And I still haven't managed to extract files with names longer than 14
characters.  MGR don't like me... :-( ).

Boom.  You've just dirtied that page, and it is no longer 
shareable.  So, instead of having > 200K shared between all
of your shells, you have closer to 800K (Who has less than
4 shells running at a time).  Not a good thing (tm).

Also, if we ever unbreak Linux, writing to code space should trigger
a segmentation fault - it's like it is now because the estdio library 
was broken, and wrote to the code. 

IMHO, if you want speed, compile it to a .a, and link against the 
new shared library whenever it comes out.  You get shared libraries, 
can still upgrade easily, but don't take the minimal performance
hit incurred by jump tables.

I'm assuming that you're talking about NetFax.
NetFax requires TCP/IP code which I haven't got yet. I was
successfully able to assemble a program from NetFax that will send a

All I know is I have "fd0" and "fd1" and that they are autodetecting.
Autodetecting doesn't always work.  What do I do?  What is setfdparms?
I'm sure I'm not the only person still using the old device names.

Was this "phasing-out" of device names made public or was it a secret
plot against experienced Linux users?  I remember Linus saying to create
"fd0" and "fd1" but I don't remember anyone saying to get rid of or stop
using "at0" and "PS1".  What gives?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against change.  I changed COM1 from /dev/ttys1
to /dev/ttys0 after the serial device names were agreed upon.  I just find
it hard to believe that I could have missed an official announcement that
these devices were being phased out and telling how to use the autodetect
devices.

I've never tried it like that, but you might want to try it with
'mouse MouseSystems /dev/bm' or 'mouse BusMouse /dev/bm' although the
mouse program really isn't written to recognize bus mice.  I think I
patched it once to get it to work with BusMouse (the code was there,
just commented out).  And you might run into the 'Try Again' problem.
This is normal.  The mouse isn't meant to be read by normal programs.
You are supposed to read it 3 bytes at a time.

Ah, here's a problem.  Most mice are configured on IRQ5, and so
the mouse driver assumes that.  If you can recompile the kernel, you
can change this (it is trivial, but you must recompile the kernel).
I don't have any idea how to autodetect what IRQ the mouse is on.

Another {ossibility is that you have one of the newer bus mice that
are really hacked serial ports.  I don't know what to say about
this, except that using the setserial program may get you going.

Also, Xconfig must say that the mouse is mousesystems or busmouse.
microsoft and logitech won't work.

The fabled "one-line patch" seems somewhat elusive... I haven't seen it
anywhere.  Could you *please* include it with 0.97p2?  Considering that
patch will gracefully reject any already applied patches, that seems not
too worrisome.

I have an AMD386/40 and I have had some problems with the cache RAM. I think
it has something to do with some of the advanced setup options. I read some
of the followup articles, but I missed the original post. What was the
problem? Does anyone know anything about wait state settings and what
wrong settings will do?

Because of several system crashes my file system got so corrupted that I
had to start over. I was getting segmentation faults from a lot of the
frequently used binaries. One thing I didn't manage to save was minicom.
So I really need rawrite to get minicom back to my linux system. I found
it at tsx-11, but it's a symlink to rawrite in a directory that doesn't
exist. Could someone could tell me where to find it or mail it to me

Jim did some extra effort to compile some of the small binaries

>binary of 0.97.pl1 somewhere FTP-able.

It's a valid gripe, and I'll probably make a binary available when I
release patch2 (this weekend).  patch1 was a very hurried release: I
wouldn't have released it if it wasn't for the fact that I wanted to
hear comments about the speed-up (if any).  As it turned out, patch1 is
perfectly ok (especially after the 1-line patch), and doesn't have any
more problems than any other release, but I wasn't sure when I made it. 

There still seems to be some problems with 0.97.pl1: the buffer-cache
corruption is the worst one.  I haven't seen it myself, and it seems to
be a SCSI problem, but I'm not sure.  I'll probably try the test-program
somebody posted if I can find the disk-space for it.  I doubt the
problem will be fixed by patch2: especially if I'm unable to see it.

My attempt to build kernel 0.97 with gcc2.2.2 fails (at tools/build) because
the following files are missing::
     sys/types.h
     fcntl.h
     unistd.h

Specifically, they are not in /usr/include, that is, the directory that, as
far as I understand, should be used for tools/build. 

I have files with these names among the kernel files. I tried copying them
into /usr/include, which makes the make succeed. However, build then fails
with the message
  Can't stat root device
Indeed, it seems that stat() ALWAYS returns -1...?? 


Does anyone know where I might obtain the missing files? 

Out of curiosity: does anyone have an idea WHY the files are missing?
Or why stat() should return -1, no matter what the path,
"/usr/include", say?
