Does anyone know how to reset the tick rate for a SparcStation running SunOS 4.0.3 with a binary only distribution? I have attempted to change the rate by changing HZ in param.c and rebuilding the kernel. However when I boot the modified kernel I get the following output: . Feb 3 23:02:22 orac vmunix: bwtwo0 at SBus slot 3 0x0 pri 7 Feb 3 23:02:22 orac vmunix: panic: startrtclock Feb 3 23:02:22 orac vmunix: rebooting... This happens whether I set the rate up or down, so I presume that there is a check in a kernel module that does not use hz. Matthew Barry
