[comp.os.minix] Running MINIX on Kapro PC.

xinye@studsys.mu.edu (ye) (11/11/87)

I don't what version of MINIX that i should have, or

what modification i need to do with my MINIX code to

make it run on my Kapro PC.


The problem i am having is that i can boot from MINIX, 

but after I logged in, I can not see the video-output

properly (for example, doing a ls -l command).


Thank you in advance for the help.

I am having a similiar problem.  About every 40th line, the screen will go
blank from that line on.  You must hit return until the line that the screen
began going blank on hits the top of the screen in which the whole screen is
refreshed.  I am not running on a Kaypro PC however, rather an IBM PC/AT with
a Video 7 card.
