Hey Unix Wizards:
I'm having a bit of trouble this morning with "my" kernel. I changed
a kernel debuging aid and got a:
panic: sys pt too small [ @ sys/vax/machdep.c ]
So I increase the system page table size from (20 + MAXUSERS)*NPTEPG
to (30 + MAXUSERS)*NPTEPG.
Now it stops in the boot phase after loading the data psect.
Ex:
:hp(0,0)vmunix.nfs
317188+146164
HALT INST EXECUTED
HALTED AT 00000001 [ Why Here ? ]
Could this be a problem with the boot?
Perhaps I should try 22 instead of 30?
The sizes if the kernel are:
text data bss dec hex
317188 146164 66340 529692 8151c
The reason it's so large is it includes:
NFS,
DoD Internet,
ISO Internet,
Chaos Net,
Kernel Tracing,
etc, etc, ...
So, do you think it the boot? Is it easy to change? [Probably not]
It probably easily avoided by not increasing the pt size so much,
but just in case it's not I thought it prudent to ask around.
