I have two Xenix machines running side by side that behave slightly different on certain occasions. Here's what I've got. 80386/33 SCO Xenix 386 2.2.3 80386/25 SCO Xenix 386 2.3.3 I am being told by my accounting software vendor that I need to increase my NFILES, NINODE, and NFLOCKS counts in my kernel to a large number (300, 300, and 400 respectively). I can increase SOME of these but if ALL of them are increased it appears that I increase kernel size too much. I realize that these settings take up part of user memory. Both machines have 8 MB of RAM and LOTS of cards and drivers in them. When I increase the counts, relink the kernel, and re-boot the machine, it cycles after the Boot : prompt and never boots the kernel. This, in the past, has been remedied by replacing the /boot program with a new boot routine with proper delays. This doesn't appear to be the case. Does anyone have a clue as to what this might be? I notice that when I change these parameters on the 2.3.2 machine the kernel's total size increases (>640K to start). When on 2.2.3 it appears that the kernel size remains the same. Am I hitting a limit in this version of Xenix or is there something that might be amuck?
