Like I expected, all has not gone smoothly. I used to have a very stable 2 drive kernel, and things were good. Now, with NetBSD-0.9, I get the error "wdc0: extra interrupt" when fsck tries to check the filesystems on wd1. This crashes init. If I take the references to wd1 out of /etc/fstab, then the system comes up fine, and I can become root and fsck/mount wd1a, wd1e and wd1f manually. I still get the error on the first time I access wd1, but at least it doesn't crash the machine. I traced the error to a line in wdintr() in wd.c that checks that the controller is active, or something like that. I tried taking this check out and recompiling the kernel, but then the kernel panics right away. I doubt I am the first person to have this problem, anyone know of a good fix? I checked the FAQ's and no mention of it, though. I would prefer to do a minor fix, and get my system operational again, as opposed to go to NetBSD-current right now (I could already hear that response coming). Once I get my house in order, I will try to make that move. My setup is a 486DX2/50 with Local Bus IDE controller and a Western Digital 340MB drive as wd0, a Conner CFS420A 420MB drive as wd1. Also, I find that the XS3 server written by Amancio Hasty for NetBSD-0.8 doesn't work anymore. I suppose I will go to XFree-2.1. I was going to do that anyway though. That was one of the main reasons I decided to do the upgrade even though I had a very nice and stable system under 0.8. thanks. alan -- alan pearson alanp@cory.eecs.berkeley.edu UC Berkeley EECS
