[comp.os.minix] ps problems

cy5@cunixa.cc.columbia.edu (Conway Yee) (03/29/91)

With PH Minix 1.5 running on a homebrew '386, I get the error :

"Can't get fs proc table from /dev/mem: Bad file number"

when I do a ps.  Any ideas what needs to be done?

might be that there are wrong file-nods at /dev/mem. You can check
them using ls -l /dev/mem. If they're not 1,1 , I suggest deleting
that file and creating a new one using mknod.
much luck!  Joerg Conradt     UUCP: jac@unlisys.in-berlin.de
