[comp.os.minix] Porting to a Packard Bell

36_5130@uwovax.uwo.ca (Kinch) (09/26/88)

Hi me again:
            I got my copy and I read some, an dfelt I was ready to
boot up MINIX 1.1   but  what should happen but  the following:

The menu came up fine but wheboot up MINIX I get an

Unexpected trap: vector <16
pc=0x362A    text+data+bss= 0x9a00

And when I try any of the other menu selections I get :

Bad magic numbetr in super block
fatal

This seems serious to me!  I have a Packard Bell 80286 with cga and
1Mb (expanded and extended, I think, but truth be known I dont know
what those terms really mean).  Is there any person out there who has
ported MINIX to such a machine?  Or perhaps these errors are fixable
(I think that I could use another computer running MINIX to edit if
necessary/possible) and someone else knows the meaning?  I would
appreciate any help. 

BTW due to mail problems I have now made it possible to mail me at 
Kinch@uwovax.uwo.ca
This should clear up most problems I think, If I didnt reply to you
last time you mailed me it was because I never received your mail,
sorry!
