[comp.os.minix] Another hard disk problem

eric@unmvax.UUCP (04/24/87)

I recently obtained MINIX and am in the process of working with it.  I got
it to work OK with the IBM PC AT, but not with my HP vectra.  After putting
in the boot floppy, and after asking for the root floppy I get the message

Winchester taks got message from -1
Unexpected trap = vector >=16 This may be due to accidentally including 
a non-Minix library routine that is tring to make a system call.

pc=0x155 text+data+bss=0x9A00.

Questions I have are as follows:
1.	I looked inside the vectra, and apparently the disk and controller
	card are made by HP.  Can anyone confirm or deny this.

2.  	Has any seen a simular problem?

3.  	If yes on 2, has anyone a fix, prior to my hacking on the code?
