The new 2.2 now supports diskless workstations and also (supposedly!) has a number of bug fixes. Now the bad news: I was told that Ultrix 2.2 will require a FULL install. (Oh no! Here we go again!) Another chance to back up the system, install the new stuff, and then try to figure out what I have to restore from the saved files. Wheee!

We have the misfortune of having a MicroVax II running Ultrix 2.2.
We often see two effects.
1. Racing getty's - this seems to be due to induction
in the terminal lines, but if anyone knows of a bug
in Ultrix that causes this, we'd like to know.
2. Machine crashes as the load average hits about 7. Often
this is in conjunction with 1, so the effect could be caused
by a bug in init.
If anyone can shed any light or better still a bug fix, I'd be very pleased
to hear from you.
