Summary: filesystem strangeness using fully patched NetBSD1.0
Keywords: SCSI SiS DX2 NetBSD1.0
Hi,
We are having considerable troubles getting NetBSD 1.0 on a DX2/66
co-existing with DOS. All NetBSD related software has been ftp'ed from
netbsd.rmit.edu.au. Patches 0->5 applied & installed soon after
OS install.
Machine configuration:
BT-445S SCSI controller
150mb archive viper scsi tape drive
SiS motherboard with 3 VESA slots, bt controller in slot #2,
#9 GXE in slave slot
DX2/66
1.05Gb Conner SCSI2 drive (CFP1060S)
SMC Elite16 ISA ethernet card
Symptoms:
- random crashes of programs. Programs like vi, vipw, csh, sh,
more and ldconfig have all crashed at completely
unpredictable times. Very unusual since I use (and have used)
NetBSD since 0.8 with very few problems (thanks... :) on
an IDE based system
- we tried getting XFree86-3.1.1 to work, and it once
complained of a syntax error in the XF86Config file. A reboot
made the syntax error disappear. X now starts correctly,
provided the above programs dont fail...
Is this symptomatic of a geometry problem or something more
sinister (we tried using the same geometry settings as DOS rather
than what the GENERICBT kernel prints when it starts).
Attached is the kernel config file we are currently using and
some layout information which might help. TIA,
Andrew Cassin
