[comp.os.minix] 1.3d upgrades: I have a headache.

WHAM, WHAM, WHAM... Uugh!
WHAM, WHAM, WHAM... Ouch!
WHAM, WHAM, WHAM... *&^%$&^$!

O.K.  I guess that I am now tired of hitting my head against the wall.  

I have a 10MHz AT clone w/ 1.5M RAM and a 65Mb rll hard disk with four 
partitions.

I have had ver 1.2 running for months now.  (Congrats to Dr. T. et. al.)
I have been trying to upgrade to 1.3d using the files off the Mars Hotel
BBS with no success.

I have compiled the files in the lib and command directories without any
trouble.  I can compile everything in the fs, mm, kernel and tools dirs as
well.  I have also built a new boot disk without getting any error messages.
When I try to reboot using 1.3d, the '=' key gets me to the 1.3 notice,
the ram disk gets loaded with the contents of /dev/hd3, /etc/message shows
up, login asks for login and password, I get a '#' prompt and then.....


NOTHING!  No new '#' if I hit return, no F1 report, no F2 report, etc.

I must assume that this is not normal.

I would be most gratefull for a crc listing of the modules that make up
the OS.  I have checked the crc's for all the source code.  So I would
like to see if the objects that make up the OS are the right size.

I have also had limited success creating a libc.a, but I am going to try
dono's lib order to see if that helps.


Many thanks,
