----------
First the problem - during kernel build phase of "doconfig" procedure, I get
the error:
Fatal error in: /usr/lib/cmplrs/cc/uopt Segmentation fault - core dumped
*** Error code 1
Stop.
This occurs during an out-of-the-box Advanced Installation of Ultrix 4.0 on a
DS3100. The only optional kernel parameter that I set is "PACKETFILTER", and
removing this option doesn't seem to help. I had a long talk with the people at
Customer Support in Atlanta, but they weren't able to come up with anything.
Any suggestions from this group? Could it be a very bizzare hardware problem
that went undetected while running 3.1 on the same system? I have successfully
installed the same 4.0 tapes on both another 3100 and on a 5000/200PX with no
difficulty.
Second, the question: are there significant differences between the Ultrix 4.0
"pre-release" tapes and the final released versions? My pre-release tapeset is
made up of:
AQ-MM11C-BE 000MUB8610 ULTRIX/UWS V4.0 (RISC) SUPPORTED SUBSETS VOLUME 1
AQ-PBJRB-BE 000MUB8544 ULTRIX/UWS V4.0 (RISC) SUPPORTED SUBSETS VOLUME 2
AQ-PDBTA-XE 000MUB8987 ULTRIX/UWS V4.0 (RISC) PRERELEASE MANDATORY UPGRADE
AQ-MM12B-BE 000MUB8494 ULTRIX/UWS V4.0 (RISC) UNSUPPORTED SUBSETS
while the newer "release" tapes are labaled:
AQ-MM11C-BE 000MUI5350 ULTRIX/UWS V4.0 (RISC) SUPPORTED SUBSETS VOLUME 1
AQ-PBJRB-BE 000MUB8660 ULTRIX/UWS V4.0 (RISC) SUPPORTED SUBSETS VOLUME 2
AQ-PCV6A-BE 000MUB9508 ULTRIX/UWS V4.0 (RISC) MANDATORY UPGRADE
AQ-MM12B-BE 000MUB8486 ULTRIX/UWS V4.0 (RISC) UNSUPPORTED SUBSETS
My guess is that the tapesets are identical, with the exception of the upgrade
tapes, but since I don't know the meaning of the second "magic number" (perhaps
a serial number of some sort?), I'm not certain. If the upgrade tapes are, in
fact, the only differences, is it possible (and/or advisable) to install the
second upgrade tape on to a system that was previously installed from the "pre-
release" tapes? If it is advisable/necessary to install the new release, I'd
like to do so without having to rebuild the entire system (if possible), since
I have a number of customizations in place that would be disturbed.
