[comp.os.minix] Problems adding tasks in MINIX

efreeman@silver.bacs.indiana.edu (Eric T. Freeman) (11/11/89)

I am trying to add a task to minix (v1.3).  I've made the appropriate 
changes to ../h/const.h, table.c and ../h/com.h.  After this I re-compiled 
the kernel, mm and fs.   The system is up and running fine and the task seems 
to be working , however, I have noticed some anomalies.  For one, a process 15 
shows up from time to time when I hit F1 and F2.  This process uses no
memory, stack space etc.  This process never shows up on the system
without the new task added.  This makes me think that something is not
quite right.

Has anyone had similar experiences or has anyone written up any kind of
HOWTO for adding tasks?

Thanks,

Eric Freeman
