Date: Wed, 25 Nov 92 23:38:43 GMT Lines: 20 Hai, Just a few days ago I bought a fpu (IIT 387) and installed it. When BSD (0.1) boots, it recognises the fpu as npx0 atoxf0 irq 13... So far so good. When running a raytracer, I can see the result of the fpu, but when I try to run ps -waxu, ps dies with an floating exception error and the raytracer, which ran in the background, dies as well with the same error. I also get annpxintr panic every now and then. Has anyone expereinced similar behaviour and if so, is there a patch r so... Edv -- Edvard Tuinder etuinder@nyx.cs.du.edu
