Are these IDE drives?  A couple of years ago, I had setup a Swan 386SX
w/an IDE drive for a client and under DOS would intermittently get
Error reading from drive c: messages.  I talked to Swan t.s. and they
suggested disabling the disk cache (I believe it was SMARTDRV I was
using).  Sure 'nuff, the problem went away.

Not sure what this means, but I though I'd pass it along.  BTW, I've
seen a HD-reset _once_ on a 486/33 w/8MB (under Pl 4 I believe).
Haven't seen it on my system (396/16 w/5MB).

More importantly, if you have to write to /dev/kmem, you derive *no*
speed advantage over writing to /dev/tty.  Trying to write to the
virtual console's memory is just a bad idea.

Also, as Drew already pointed out, such a program wouldn't work over MGR
or X11; and most people will probably end up running X11, or possible
MGR, so it wouldn't be a very useful terminal program.

Speaking of which, why do you want to write your own terminal program?  
What's wrong with kermit that you want to re-invent your own wheel?

Organization: Sophomore, Chemistry, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA

Hello,

Until now, I have never had any problems upgrading kernels.  I am
currently running 0.97pl4 (upgraded originally from 0.97.2 MCC), and
when I applied patch 5, everything looked ok.  But when I make'ed it,
make choked:  in init/main.c, mem_init had the wrong number of
parameters!  It wanted two, and it had three:
(low_memory_start,memory_start,memory_end) or something like that.  

I took out the first parameter, and tried to make again.
I also tried downloading the sources again and starting from scratch
(linux-0.97.5.tar.Z), but the mem_init and the following problem was
still there.

This is what came out after I removed the part from mem_init in init/main.c:

gcc -DKERNEL -Wall -O6 -fomit-frame-pointer -DPROFILE_SHIFT=2
-fno-omit-frame-pointer -c sched.c
sched.c: In function `count_active_tasks':
sched.c:380: `FIXED_1' undeclared (first use this function)
sched.c:380: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
sched.c:380: for each function it appears in.)
sched.c: In function `calc_load':
sched.c:387: `LOAD_FREQ' undeclared (first use this function)
sched.c:393: warning: implicit declaration of function `CALC_LOAD'
sched.c:393: `EXP_1' undeclared (first use this function)
sched.c:394: `EXP_5' undeclared (first use this function)
sched.c:395: `EXP_15' undeclared (first use this function)
make[1]: *** [sched.o] Error 1
make: *** [linuxsubdirs] Error 1


This exact thing happened when I tried to make from the 0.97.5 sources.

Am I missing some files or anything?  Incorrect libs/headers?  I did ln
-fs the include directories (and the asm dirs).  I haven't seen anyone
else having these problems!  I know that a new version will be out
shortly, but I would really like to figure this out.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Chris

I ran into this too. The problem is that the libraries define __setjmp,
not _setjmp. According to ANSI, apparently. Read <setjmp.h> for more.
Run nm on tcsh.a and libc.a for even more info.

Apparently tcsh.a was compiled with a different library?

My initial thought for a solution was to write a stub setjmp and have
it do the right thing. First I tried writing a stub _setjmp, at which
point I found out that the version of gcc I have (2.2.2d) doesn't grok
-mno-underscore (or whatever the option is). So I switched to try a
stub setjmp, figuring the underscore would get added, which it did.
If you try to do this, be sure to #undef setjmp before declaring your
routine, if you include <setjmp.h>, as it is a macro in that header.

So I linked 'em together, and tcsh ran, sort of. My hacked version did
things like hang, use up all my memory, run out of swap, and cause
kernel panics. Oh, and hose my filesystem a bit. So I deleted my
hacked version, figuring to download source later.

ps is broke, as of this patch level.  Linus describes the problems in a
previous (and recent) article.  He describes the problems as pretty
minor.  I'm sure the maintainer will provide fixes soon, though you may
want to look at it yourself, as an "exercise for the student."  [grin] 
Otherwise, not to worry, I'm sure help is on the way.

I also noticed that clock.exe is very limited in the number of clock
frequency it finds: Clock.exe found 4 freqencies out of 16. Luckily 
X is very intelligent and work out those clocks itself: Just comment (#)
out the Clocks line in Xconfig and give X a try: startx 2> logfile.
After rebooting (assuming that the Xconfig still is useless) you'll
have in logfile a complete list of clocks.

> (BTW, do I round these????? and why????)

I did, but I don't know why. I recently read in c.o.l that the actual
value you write in Xconfig is not important at all: it is the place
in the list that counts.

Just a little bit off (video.tutorial is hardly explanatory, try to
get XConfig.Notes instead) may lead to rubbish: I speak out of experience.
Just keep trying.

I've been thinking about getting a 387 - mainly for running stuff under Linux but
also to speed up some DOS applications. Will any old 387 (Intel, Cyrix etc) do?
Or is there a significant difference between them?

BTW I have also had problems with math calculations under Linux - code that compiles
and runs under Sun-OS and Linux do not give the same results.

From QIC, the QIC-40/80 specs. are the recording formats.
QIC-107 is the basic interface for Flexible-disk-controller-compatible 1/4"
mini data cartridge tape drives.
QIC-115 is the basic interface for PS/2 controllers, and
QIC-117 is the common command set interface specification for
flexible disk controller based mini data cartridge tape drives.

So....  if a vendor (CMS ?) manufactures their drives to be truly
QIC-compatible, then getting (I belive) 117 should be what's necessary
to begin serious work on a driver, though 107 would probably also be
necessary.  QIC will send you the standards you require for free via
first-class mail (that's how I got my QIC-02 and QIC-36, anyhow...  THANKS!).

However, the vendor has most likely implemented some sort of proprietary
intelligent interface that they would be loathe to give out.  Who knows.  IDK.
Getting the specs should give you a leap in the right direction to hacking out
a driver, though.  If someone sends me a drive and a tape or two, I'll work on
it!  <grin>
