[comp.os.minix] Trouble to acces AT disk

jmp@.UUCP (Jean.Marc Pigeon) (10/31/87)

	I am trying to port MINIX 1.1 from XT configuration to
	AT configuration.

	- The AT is 512K, 8Mhz ,30 Mega-bytes, (real blue).

	- I recompiled "kernel" with at_wini.c as wini.c,
	-   build a new "image" with the new "kernel",
	-   defined a 240 cylinders partition (# 10 Mega-bytes),
	    (this partition will be dedicated to MINIX)
	-   made a mkfs for 2000 blocks on this partition,
	    (For test purpose, I prefere to be on safe side).

	Everything run fine, except ( :-} ), after around 15 (or 30?)
	seconds, I got   "Winchester wouldn't reset, drive error",
	during hard disk acces, once I got that; all acces to rigide
	generate the same message.  If I reboot, I am able to see (copy)
	and acces all the files on the disk (at least for a short
	while :-}} ).

	I wonder if the trouble could be cause by the controler which
	could be differente on this AT version, or by the clock (8 Mhz),
	or by anything else ?????.

	If somebody on netland, has already resolve this probleme, please
	help me.


	By the way, I seen, few month ago, all the "diff files" between 
	MINIX 1.1 and MINIX 1.2, what is the way to receive that again?
	

	Many thanks.
	
PS:	Sorry if the answer is obvious, I just had MINIX few days ago.
