Wieringa) Message-ID: <ktw.1s2k@tcsi.sol.net> Date: Mon, 1 Jan 96 23:25:59 CST Organization: A Demon of the Second Kind Lines: 26 Doing the 1.0 to 1.1 upgrade thing (i386) and have run into the following snags: 1) I haven't been able to get swapon (swapon -a) to recognize the second swap partition on sd1. Keep getting a "device not configured" error. The sd1b and rsd1b block special devices are freshly created ("MAKEDEV all") in /dev. 2) While I can load up XFree (3.1) ok, none of the xterms will load. redirecting startx stderr to a file shows that I'm getting a "Error 23, errno 25: Inappropriate ioctl for device" message. Again, all the ttyp*'s are there in /dev. 3) Brain Buhrow had a bi-directional serial patch I was using under 1.0. I notice the target source file (com.c) has moved in the source tree and it no longer "patches" cleanly with his old 1.0 patch file. Does anyone know if there is an updated 1.1 patch available? any pointers and suggestions are welcome. Even RTFM's, as long as you point me toward a FM to R. thanks, -ktw
