Message-ID: <1993Mar8.095115.2969@netcom.com> Date: 8 Mar 93 09:51:15 GMT Organization: Netcom - Online Communication Services (408 241-9760 guest) Lines: 24 I just tried to install the new patchkit up to patch 110 + Chris's com driver + lpr without success - the system reboots immediately upon trying to load via Julian's boot blocks (where the NO DDB SYMBOLS message might appear). All the patches took okay (except one: in the 00099 set, which I think modifies /dev/MKDEV). I ran dbsym on the kernel, but this makes no difference. The new patch kit was installed by first deleting /usr/src and /usr/include and then restoring these from the bin01 and src01 distrbutions. The AHATEST kernel compiled without a hitch using gcc 1.39. I am currently running at patch level 58 + Julian's SCSI + Chris's com driver + X without problem. My system: 386PC/40 (Taiwanese) w/ 16 MB RAM + Cyrix 387/40. 1542B SCSI controller SMC8003 EP Ethernet adapter 16550AFN Serial card Diamond 24 (ET4000) video card Any and all suggestions are welcomed. Thanks. -Andrew Moore <alm@netcom.com>
