The symtoms are: The hard disk access light is on, but I can't hear the noise it usually makes when it is being accessed. I can warm boot the machine. Until this morning a [ctrl]-[alt]-[del] fixed it. This morning I had to RESET four times before [ctrl]-[alt]-[del] did it's job. My /etc/rc file is the one that is distributed with cgd's dist.fs. I assume that is the same as the one that was released with 0.1.0 (not that it is the problem - I don't think.) 2) I also get the following errors relating to 0.1.44 (cgd's dist.fs) savecore: /386bsd: _dumpdev not in name list symorder: /386bsd: stripped: inappropriate file type or format I assume they are both because the kernel has had it's symbol table stripped. I don't have the disk-space to hold, let alone recompile, the kernel sources. Is there anywhere I can get hold of the un-stripped kernel? When replacing a kernel is it just a matter of copying it to /386bsd? If it is all I need is a compressed [tar|cpio] format of the kernel. My machine config: AMI BIOS (04/09/90) 33MHz 386 (no co-processor) fd0: 3.5 in fd1: 5.25 in RAM: 4 Meg wd0: Maxtor 7040 AT (40 Meg) wd1: Maxtor 7040 AT (40 Meg) Can anyone help please? If so would you please email me, because our news feed in is not working. I will summarize. (I will only know if my news feed out is workin if I get a reply :-)) Colin ------ colin@cs.curtin.edu.au
