   Hi Matt!  Welcome to the wonderful world of porting Linux to the Amiga.
You can find out more information by joining the mailing list, and suscribing
to the 680x0 channel.  (See other posts on how to join the mailing list)

   The reason that the amiga directory is protected under the amigaftp 
group is that we are trying to limit how far it travels.  The only people
so far that have access to the directory are those people actively doing
work on the kernel.  Right now, the 0.00 release is a bootloader and a 
serial test code.  There's no task switcher, there's no keyboard driver,
there's no console display, etc.  That stuff is being written.  The 680x0
channel is there for people who want to influence the design of the amiga
kernel as it starts up.  Join in!

   We'll release the amiga directory when we put together a more interesting
kernel, never fear.

I've had the same problem.
My solution:

1. create Linux partition as mentioned in README (eg /dev/hda2)
2. additional create a swap partition (eg /dev/hda3)
   change type to 82 (Linux Swap)
   I created a 4MB swap partition
3. reboot
4. mkswap /dev/hda3 BLOCKS
5. swapon /dev/hda3
6. mkfs /dev/hda2 BLOCKS
7. doinstall /dev/hda2

Don't forget to add the following swap entry to /etc/fstab after booting from HD:
/dev/hda3	none	swap

This worked for me.
Hope this helps

I have also found a bug in the open call.  If you do an open, but do not give
read or write flags, subsequent reads or writes fail with EBADF.  Example code
is:

int fd;

fd=open("/tmp/testing", O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666);
write(fd, "  ", 2);
perror("this is it");

According to SVID, O_TRUNC implies O_WRITE.  Indeed, it still implies write
even if the file is created, and the mode is 0000.

Erm, i'm having a few problems getting talk to work on my

I've now got talk to get as far as "Checking for invitation on caller's

see if eventually does anything)

Anyone got any ideas ?

talk	dgram	udp	wait	root	/usr/etc/inet/talkd	talkd

/usr/etc/services (also in ...)
talk	517/udp

I have a similar problem, only my third serial line at ttys2 is
displayed, but all three work fine.  Could it be a problem with the chip
detection?

I also saw (while looking at some code) that lp.c is designed to catch
"out of paper" errors, but it doesn't.  That is however no new problem.
I know that I must have different printer port than the author, because
once there were problems with detection giving a different code too.
Later the detection condition was changed so that it worked.  Does
anybody else have that problem?

Subject: Strange problem with LPmud and Linux 0.98.4
Organization: UCLA, Computer Science Department

	Hello out there!  I'm having some strange problems getting
the latest version of CD-LPmud and CD-lib to work under Linux 0.98.4.
I've got the driver to compile fine, thats not the problem.  It seems
to run fine, but if I check memory usage by using free in another VC,
I find that the memory being used steadily goes up at the rate of
about 8k a minute, even when noones on the MUD!  This is rather
strange behavior, to say the least.  In 0.98.3, I'd get the bug that
accept() ran out of memory because of a failure to properly free inodes.
Could this be the same problem manifesting itself in a different way?
Or perhaps it is a problem with the smalloc.c that comes with it.

I am using the latest versions of both of the above, I ftp
ed them from ftp.cd.chalmers.se.

Can someone please give me some advice? I am pretty lost here..

Also,  not related, but I've been having considerable difficulty
getting some of the examples that come with the lib to work correctly.
The shop doesn't work at all, and the pub won't give me anything,
regardless of how much money I give myself in the money maker room.

Thanks.

	That is the nature of the beast.  If you use the standard scsi code
that comes with the kernel in 0.98.3, it is going to be slow.

	We are working on a new version of the scsi code which has
dramatically faster I/O (600-800 Kb/s measured with iozone).  It is currently
in alpha testing and once we get a few more of the known problems cleaned up,
there will be a more public release.

My experience suggests this is a problem in the X server.

System: 486/33 33MHz
        AMI BIOS
        8Mb RAM
        ET4000 1Mb

Symptom:
  When running 1024x768 X modes cursor movement and window/icon 
movement causes random "speckles" on the display to varying extents. 
Eventually the system locks up. This is not a problem at 800x600. Also after 
exiting X the VGA fonts appear trashed - something like half the characters 
appear as vertical bars.

Fix (sort of?):
  Going in to the extended CMOS set up and disabling caching of the CXXX 
area (VGA ROM?) solved the speckling problem. Disabling shadowing of the VGA 
ROM area solved the trashed font problem. The spare RAM above 640k *is* 
relocated. Changing this had no effect at any time.

Guesswork: :-)
  I'd guess there is an off-by-one error in the server code that causes 
writes to happen outside of the VGA page area. This corrupts the RAM image 
of the VGA ROM (the VGA ROM isn't used except for the fonts?). The shadowing 
is handled by the SIS chipset (I *think* it's SIS off hand). The cache does 
not seem to handle writes to shadowed areas correctly (why should it :-) ) 
causing them to corrupt memory - mainly in the display page but also 
elsewhere causing the lockups?

  Not exactly an in depth study of the problem but it works for me :-)

You think the price is too high?  Undersell them.  Communism in action

What exactly would be a fair price? Who gets to decide it? As far as I

This doesn't guarantee fairness, but it should avoid too obvious

I have a Digicom Scout Plus ($269 + $10 shipping) from a comp.dcom.modems

fax, comes with WinFaxLite and DosFax software.

I couldn't be more pleased...only thing it doesn't like is a PEP
tone as the 1st tone when calling a WorldBlazer (who does ?).

1300 cps downloading compressed news under Linux from a Telebit Trailblazer.

The only thing I haven't tried yet under Linux is incoming calls with
uugetty.  It *does* work fine with incoming calls under DOS Waffle.

You could try the byacc. It is available at least at tsx-11 in the same

Subject: From olvwm to bison to the kernel...
Summary: One problem leads to another :-)
Date: 9 Nov 92 14:03:42 GMT


I started to compile up olvwm 3.2 on my linux system. I know its been
done, but I wanted to fix the DIRMENU problem and the source code
from tsx-11 didn't seem to include everything, so...

I got the source from export, patched it up and off I went. Mostly
minor ports, locale stuff, signal bits etc. Then it tried 'yacc
olvwmrc.y".

Of course, everyone knows that bison -y is the same, but this gave a
"Too many open files error" in the makefile. Trying it from the
command line give a "No more processes error".

Question 1: Is the problem with bison and olvwmrc.y (version 1.3)?

Anyway, knowing that the number of processes is likely to be
configurable I rummaged around in the kernel (0.98pl1) and found
NR_TASKS with a comment that said I could change it, so I doubled it
from 64 to 128 and recompiled - no problem.

BUT this kernel will not boot for me using LILO 0.6. Luckily I kept
the old one and I have gone back to that.

Question 2: Is it safe to change NR_TASKS to anything I like?

Well, any comments and advice would be appreciated (via email - unless
you think everyone wants to know). My last resort is to use yacc on a
workstation here at work, but I would hate to think there was something
SunOS could do that Linux couldn't :-)

Because I where so stupid (but why should I give up, if all seems so

After taking unix-gcc.mak as Makefile it worked well, only one thing

What have I to write to the Makefile to make it use shared-libs,

Err, and before I forget: ghostview I compiled after some nice person gave
me the hint to uncomment the definition of sys_errlist in any *.c-file
the compiler complained about (2 or 3).

It worked like a champ then..

a 486 DX 33 MHz,256 Kb cache?

The price difference is 500 guilders (about 285 US dollars) 
in favour of the 386/387 combination.

I could spend the money saved in a bigger hard disk:
a Maxtor LXT340 in stead of the Maxtor MS7213A.

Thanks in advance,

Erminio

I have a Compaq Deskpro 33 and want to run linux.  I also need to
continue with DOS on the disk.  I need to know where and what I have
to get.  Including some kind of boot strap that will allow me to
have DOS as the default and linux on demand.  I also want to be able
to run X and have ethernet support.  Does all of this exist for linux?

Thanks for the help.
