|I had some more problems upgrading St-minix to 1.5.10.4:

|The file other/syslib.c is broken, it wil give a lot of compilation error's
|I patched it by removing the include of <minix/type.h>, this is already done
|in <lib.h> and the type sighandler_t is'nt defined anywhere so I uncommented
|the old parameter declaration:

I agree, but minix/type.h should contain:
#ifndef _TYPE_H
#define _TYPE_H
...
#endif

|There are also problems with stprint.c in the kernel directory!
|Because there is no define of DEV_WRITE anywhere in the system, I simply
|removed one line from stprint.c to make it work.

Better idea would be to define it minix/com.h as #define DEV_WRITE TTY_WRITE

...stiff deleted...

|I still have problems with the system I build with C68, after mounting
1my two Minix partitions I get a kernel panic 'trap via vector 2'....
|(this is still in the /etc/rc script, before you are asked to input
|the date).
|I do have a running 1.5.10.3 kernel compiled with C68 so wonder what
|could have changed that makes this difference (should I look in one
1of the assembly files, or is it because I'm currently using c68 patchevel 3
|instead of patchlevel 2??.
|My systems is: St1040, with root FS on hd3, no Ram-disk and 126k cache!

Me too, the problem seems to be in dmp.c. When I use stdmp.c instead everthing
works fine...
