[comp.sys.apollo] problem with psk5

i91@nikhefh.nikhef.nl (Fons Rademakers) (10/16/90)

Hi,

After installing psk5 I get during booting (Loading Init) the following
message:
Undefined global "display_$uid" in "/lib/awslib"

After the booting is completed, I see, after logging in, that the Xapollo
server has died with the message (in X0msg):

Tue Oct 16 11:45:17 1990
Fatal server bug!
Bad status from aws_$init == 6090001

What is wrong here? I don't believe they ship a psk with such a bug.
Sould the awslib be loaded at a different moment (change in sys.conf)?
Please can somebody help me.

Thanks in advance, Fons Rademakers.

I don;t know what's wrong (beyond the obvious), but I loaded psk5 on my
DN3000 (and also on DN3500s, DN4000s, DN4500s, and our DN10000) with
no problem.  Here's my (DN3000) sys.conf file.  I don't remember needing to
make any changes, but....

    lib kslib, global
    lib trait_type_lib, global
    lib streams, global

I have a DN3500 (SR10.2.0.6) with PSK-5 installed. I also get the 
"Undefined global" message when booting. My Xapollo server, however,
seems to run just fine. I haven't been able to find any indication
of a problem related to the boot message, so I've ignored it.
My sys.conf file has awslib defined so that's not the problem. In fact,
I've never modified sys.conf.

Anyone else?

To quote the realease notes for PSK5, 

"section 2.2 Error Message When Booting

After you install PSK5, you will see an error message when you boot
the node, and anytime that you boot.  The error shown below is harless
to the operation of PSK5

Undefined Global "display_$uid" in "lib/awslib"
"

RTFRS!! :-) :-)

   (Release Notes)

<stern fatherly mode on>
I know, many of you don't get the hardcopy release notes with the
cartridge.  For PSKs though, you should probably at least read the
release notes that are on online, as you may be stomping out something
you consider a feature, and HPollo considers a bug, or visa versa.  In
General, DON'T INSTALL A "PATCH" UNLESS YOU NOW WHAT IT IS *SUPPOSED*
TO DO!  (who knows what undocumented "features" will crop up)

You can ignore this.  It is documented in the PSK5 release notes.

(I don't have an answer for your other question, sorry.)
