I have a new Pentium 90 system with a PCI EIDE controller on the
system board, and an IDE drive, running BSDI 2.0.1.
The problem is weird things happen, like:
- While installing OS updates the shell will sometimes report
that it cannot find "[". Rerunning the update will usually
work.
- The compiler sometimes core dumps, even when rebuilding the
kernel
I've tried turning off PCI EIDE features like 32 bit mode, but
the problem continues.
Any ideas?
