I am new to aux, unix, and X. I have been trying to install aux and X on a MaxIIfx with a 3rd party Maxtor 200 mb hard disk. I have tried partitioning the disk with Silverlining 1.26 and with a beta copy of the manufacturer's software. The partitioning seems to be OK, but whenever I finally get X11 session running I get "can't load /dev/kmem" and Xload won't work. A few sessions later, X11 hangs, and when I reboot I cannot get access to aux: I get the message "panic: kernal memory error". The next time I reboot, I don't even get this far. I use fsck and esch and all these disk error messages appear. Kaput. What's the deal? So far my eschtology partions have been 3 and 4 mb, swap 18-20mb, mac os 60 mb, and the rest aux root&usr. Any help would be tremendously appreciated. David McCormick MIT-EAPS Bldg 54-1016 Cambridge, MA 02139 dmac@athena.mit.edu
