Hello net, I'm running NetBSD with a kernel that says 386bsd-0.1 and I'm having problems with it hanging. The machine runs quite nicely as long as the number of processe stays relatively low. When I try to do a huge build, however, I get no where and the machine hangs. You can ping it, but if you try to telnet to it, the connection is established, but goes no where from there. Before it dies, the load usually goes up to 3 or so and it begins swapping. My configration is: 386dx running at 25MHZ 4MB of memory, 32MB of swap, Aha1542a SCSI controller Ne2000 ethernet clone And, if someone cold enlighten me on the state of my kernel as to what I actually have, that would be useful. I down-loaded the NetBSD binary and distribution from agate.berkeley.edu and it booted with netBSD 0.8 But, when I re-built the sources, it says 386bsd-0.1 Do I have old sources or did someone just not update the version file? (I do have the conf file for cdg's NetBSD aha boot disk, so I thought it was new.) -thanks <Brian Buhrow> buhrow@cats.ucsc.edu
