[comp.unix.xenix.sco] configure / node name

mark@siva.UUCP (Mark Marsh) (09/24/90)

I have RTFM on system configuration. It was not illuminating. ;-(
I am running SCO Xenix 2.3.2 on a Unisys 386. I tried running configure
to change the kernel node name and ran into errors.  space.asm  won't
compile because of of an out of range value.

This is the error:

0048 FF 00 _node db NODE,00H
space.asm(113): error A2050: value out of range

Before configure in space.inc NODE is defined as:

NODE equ 0

and after configure NODE is defined as:

NODE equ "siva"

The section in space.asm that is concerned with NODE goes like:

	PUBLIC _node
_node db NODE, 00H
	db (8)dup(0)
	ALIGN 4

Does the dup(0) need to change to reflect the length of the nodename? 
Has anyone else run into this problem? Any clues you can point my way? 
I make no claims to speaking Intel assembly.
