This problem sounds like that posted by "cox%v70nl.decnet@nusc.arpa" in <4675@louie.udel.EDU>. I finally got a src whose crc's matched those posted by ast. Rebuilt it. Tried to boot. Booting MINIX 1.3 Read error. - Automatic reboot with the read error repeating till I reset. After much fumbling around, and repeated checks of the crc's just to be sure, I spotted the one main diffence between the 1.3 beta and 1.3 I was now running. I had two serial lines and this kernel was only configured for one. I changed tty.h to allow for the other line and all is now well. Can't really see why not configuring for the extra line should cause this problems. Hope this note helps others avoid these problems. PS: For what its worth I've now defined LINEWRAP in tty.h as I heartily recommend to you all.
