I was recently loading some new communications s/w onto one of our Tower 32/650s for the first time. When the update had been loaded and the kernel was being relinked etc a message came up saying that the dimension table had overflowed processing a particular header file (I think it was sys/io.h). This system has quite a lot of comms software loaded so I expect this has something to do with it. Anyway I increased the -Sd,2000 in the CFLAGS to -Sd,3000 and tried again. It worked okay. Any comments on this ? i.e. is it an indication that we are putting too much into the kernel or is it just a matter of 2000 being the normal default for most users. Also I would not expect the 2000 to 3000 change to have made any difference to the resultant kernel i.e. size wise, would it ? -- <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Nigel Harwood >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Post: Coles Myer Ltd, PO Box 2000 Tooronga 3146, Australia >> << Phone: +61 3 829 6090 E-mail: nigel%cmsfl@labtam.oz.au >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

No. Just an indication that the compiler was not set up to handle such a large program as the default. > Also I would not expect the 2000 to 3000 change to have made any > difference to the resultant kernel i.e. size wise, would it ? No effect on kernel size, just the compiler. -- -Mike Wescott mike.wescott@ncrcae.Columbia.NCR.COM
