Kernin) Subject: NetBSD 1.0 reboots... Message-ID: <Cz9IE7.Ewo@acsu.buffalo.edu> News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.50AXP Sender: visnurpk@ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu (Richard P. Kernin) Nntp-Posting-Host: ubvmsa.cc.buffalo.edu Organization: University at Buffalo Date: Mon, 14 Nov 1994 14:47:00 GMT Lines: 28 Hello, I've recently posted about using an EISA system with a Bustek controller and having the darn thing reboot w/o warning. I was using NetBSD 1.0, and switched to FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 and everything works perfect. Since on recommendation I changed much of the EISA/SCSI setup I figured that might have been the problem, but after getting FreeBSD to work I put the cache and other defaults back in, and it still works fine. Then tryed to install NetBSD (since I did have to change the Bustek IRQ from 11 to 12) on the system (on another disk though ;-) and it went fine until unpacking the base10 system. First it just bombed out, with tar not recognizing the archive after finishing most of /bin, then I manually did the extraction and the machine flashed some panic/fault error, and rebooted. Now any attempt to install NetBSD on the machine causes a reboot (message, if any, is flashed so quickly I cannot find it). I've not tryed FreeBSD 2.0, but plan on doing so today if I get a free moment. Anyone run into this weirdness? Been running NetBSD 0.9 since around when it came out, but that is on a VLB system with IDE drives, and 16MB of memory. Take care, -Rich --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard P.
