I posted a note about some "Kernel panic" error message I got when I tried to boot the MINIX Ver 1.2. (bought from Prentice-Hall around October last year). Mr. Michael Schmitz who is in our CS department helped me solved this problem, and we found that the problem may come from an error in the source file "xt_wini.c". The first "define" line in the source file on the disk appears as follows: #define AU TO_BIOS TRUE/* TRUE: use Western's autoconfig BIOS */ Because of this definition, whatever is expected to be done for AUTO_BIOS to be TRUE is not performed, and some error may appear. I hope the distribution disks are not built from this source file, and hope this information may help to solve some other problems. Kuang-Chien Chen kchen@p.cs.uiuc.edu
