Date: 4 May 1993 00:04:24 GMT Organization: University of California; Santa Cruz Lines: 17 Distribution: world Message-ID: <1s4bu8INN8cp@darkstar.UCSC.EDU> NNTP-Posting-Host: hobbes.ucsc.edu Summary: High-speed serial connections cause silo overflow on com0 Keywords: buffers, high speed, com1, com0, silo overflow Hello, all you 386bsd users. I am currently trying to bootstrap my 386sx with 386bsd. Unfortunately, when I try to down-load the floppy installation files into /tmp through the serial port at any speed above 2400, I get the message: "com0: silo overflow" and the data is garbaged with rz. Is this a problem on all 386bsd kernels? What do I need to do to fix the problem? -thanks P..S. Please send mail to buhrow@cats.ucsc.edu, if possible, as I might not have time to read all of the responses in the news group -- my connection is tenuous. -Brian <buhrow@cats.ucs.edu>
