Hi, I've just installed 2.11BSD on one of my PDPs, from a TK50 tape I just re-discovered in the trunk of my car. And now I'm in the process of applying patches. When I installed patch 412 and started to rebuild the kernel, ld complains with a "ld: too big for type 431". Does this means that I have to rearrange stuff between the BASE and the various OV entries? How can I find out which overlay is too big? I've tried to do a: 138% root--> size unix.o text data bss dec hex 52352 6928 37622 96902 17a86 total text: 115520 overlays: 7680,7232,7808,7744,4864,8576,4736,6848,7680 How big is too big? And also if none of the overlays above are too big, I guess it must be the BASE that is too big? Is there some sort of documentation anywhere that describe this voodoo stuff and black magic a bit? Btw, I've put my makefile is at http://spektr.eu.org/~jp/Makefile.LOKE. Any suggestions on what .o file I should move to what overlay?
