Well I "upgraded" my machine last night here at work and had LOTS of problems. Here is the list: 1) the upgrade said it was gonna copy the old files into /scratch/etc ( where I wanted them ) but after it finished, I found that the only files there were the new ones :-(. Good thing I did not trust the installtion and stored them elsewhere. 2) Big Problem with the ep driver. I have been running this system solidly for some time now. After the upgrade, whenever I am using the epdriver, the number of socknames and headers and data steadily increases until all network traffic ceases on the device and finally I start to get errors like this: ping: wrote gw.hq.ferg.com 64 chars, ret=-1 ping: sendto: No buffer space available If I: ifconfig ep0 down ; wait 60 ; ifconfig ep0 up I get about a minute of pings and then the buffers fill up again. To get this information, I used the systat program to see what was available. My configuration is: HP Vectra XM series with an adaptec 2740, a 3c509 and generic sound card. P120 with 32 megs of memory. 3) mountd hangs at startup. I did a ktrace of mountd and it seems to hang right as it reads resolv.conf. I read in todays mail about the issue of having non locally resolvable hostnames in /etc/resolv.conf ( Ie. ones normally resolved over the network ) and I will add them to the /etc/hosts file and fix /etc/hosts.conf to check that first and see if that solves the problem. I am rather frustrated and I have to have this machine working, so I am downgrading back to 2.1 until this issue is resolved. If anyone has any idears or suggestions, let me know. -branson -- ============================================================================= Branson Matheson | Ferguson Enterprises | If Pete and Repeat were System Administrator | W: (804) 874-7795 | sittin on a fence and Pete Unix, Perl, WWW | branson@widomaker.com | fell off, who is left?
