Hi!
From: David Evans <dfevans(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca>
cn 1 176540 344 5 cnrint cnxint
to the end of this line? Perhaps the autoconfig parser becomes confused
if there aren't any.
I don't think that's the problem in this case - the error that is
being printed out:
cn 1 csr 176540 vector 344 no address found for kl/dl-11
comes from what appears to be a missing entry (or an entry that
autoconfig can't find) in the /unix kernel symbol table. One way,
I think, this can happen is when booting an alternate kernel (/genunix
instead of /unix).
THe only suggestion I have at this point is to turn on debugging
in autoconfig. To do this go into /sys/autoconfig/main.c and
add a line that forces 'debug = 1;', then install (after saving the
original ;)) autoconfig into /etc and reboot. Hopefully useful
info about what autoconfig is doing will be printed.
Mine is at least correctly identified by autoconfig,
though I've never
attached a terminal to it to see whether the ports actually do anything.
The post that's vanished included my dhv line from /etc/dtab but, except
for the goofy CSR I used for some reason that I cannot now remember, it
If I find the time I'll power up the 11/73 and see what it says but
I've had a DHV11 on the system for years (it's how I got the RTS/CTS
flow control working).
My suspicion is that the DHV clone isn't behaving 100% like a DEC
DHV card.
BTW: Never
play with the SMD cables when the machine is running. Now I
get:
Is the disk write-inhibited?
Doing a 'reboot' (which performs a sync(2) call) will overwrite
what fsck has done - when the message about "reboot" comes out you
should use the front panel or ODT to simply halt the cpu and then
start the boot process cold.
