I almost had the '286 patches done and was compiling build & fsck when I received an 'out of memory' error on fsck.c It's 2 in the morning, If I am overlooking something, please forgive me otherwise, what next ?

I had no trouble compiling build and fsck after applying Bruce's diffs. Where did you get the error exactly? From asld, the compiler, or make? I've got the 1.2 compiler; I suppose those with the 1.1 compiler might have more trouble. I had a bit of trouble with the kernel patches because I had previously installed Bruce's replacement tty driver. It turns out that I had to back up to the vanilla 1.3d versions of clock.c, const.h and main.c, then apply the new diffs. Same for device.c and pipe.c in fs. Also, patch kept running out of memory trying to create the new file klib88.x (which Bruce sent as one big patch). This was with 600K+ free on /tmp. I ended up running it through sed, then hand editing to remove the diff header. You have to take care to correctly set up kernel/axmakefile; there are several possible options, you must uncomment the proper ones for your setup. Unfortunately, Bruce's rs232 io doesn't work for me yet (it didn't work before the pmode diffs, either). Specifically, when using term to talk to my external modem, I can see that it is sending chars just fine, and the modem is echoing chars back. But term never sees the echoed chars; it hangs on the first read from the tty port. Anyone seen a similar problem? Tty problems aside, it sure is wonderful to see the following on startup: Memory size = 2560K MINIX = 125k RAM disk = 720K Available = 1715K I think we owe Bruce Evans a standing ovation.

I have seen this problem under other O/S's when using a 16450 or 16550. The easiest thing to try is put : echo " " > /dev/tty1 echo " " > /dev/tty2 in your etc/rc file. It seems to "jump start" the UARTS. If you are using the 16550 then you might want to add a line at the end of rs232.c that outputs to port 3FA (for port 1) or 2FA (port 2) a 0xC7. This sets up the built in FIFO for an interupt level of 14 bytes. Speeds things up a bit. As a matter of fact, you should include these outputs anyway, because these ports are unwritable on 8250's and 16450's so they will just ignore it. This is what cleared up the problem on my end.

In message <589@sumax.UUCP>, it said he had some trouble about make fsck. The error message is "out of memory". I got the error message too. It happened in cem & cpp are running, even I use flag -F. I got the protected version by patching v1.3, not 1.3d. Is there any problem? Is there any one who can tell me where I can get the patches to 1.3d from 1.3. Thanks in advance. Tseng.
