I'm still having SILO overflows. I have applied all the patches in the
patchkit on agate. I am not using an 8250, I am using an internal modem,
with its own buffers. Is this not a good idea? It is a 2400-V.42 modem
that does MNP-5 et. al... It fails about every 5 minutes, whether I'm
just reading text or downloading. It also gives me "last message repeated
3 times" alot.
On a similar note, I have applied all the patches and initx/startx complain
that my kernel does not have X support. I 'config GENERICISA'ed it, and
then 'make depend' 'make'd it, then I copied it to /386bsd. The new
^^ not sure about that.
kernel is about 40-60k larger. Still no luck. Am I missing something?
I know some of the patches applied, 'cause my variable block SCSI tape is
fixed. Please don't tell me to read the 2nd page of the submitted bsd
manuals in nova.cc.purdue.edu 'cause I don't have a PS printer, and I can't
run ghostscript for obvious reasons (IOTTMCOO).
Thanks, and reply by news if this is another FAQ (I read the FAQ, tnx)
