I used to have a Wyse pc386 running Wyse's own version of SCO (SCO generic manuals, a couple pages about Wyse's version) - I sold the Wyse pc (it was a 16 MHz 386) and moved up to a 386-33. I did NOT sell the Xenix 386 v 2.3.2...now I get: kernel panic: *** Wyse SCO/Xenix will not run on non-Wyse machines *** Great! Now what? I have another Unix box that can mount Xenix disks - any ideas on how to modify my boot disk (copy, of course) to eliminate these proprietary craziness? If not, I guess Xenix goes out the window and hello to ISC or Esix. (Wyse was no help - "What is the serial number of the Wyse machine you are running Xenix on...") -Nathan Lane nlane@well.sf.ca.us

I believe that message is coming from /boot, not the kernel. To find out, replace your Wyse /boot file with a copy of a vanilla SCO /boot file on your N1 diskette. This assumes, of course, that you can get your hands on a set of vanilla SCO sfwr. :-) -- @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@ Jeffrey J.
