Hello Mike, Thursday, December 02, 1999, 19:14:26 noAuth, you wrote: >> It was suggested to me that I should post my config file along with >> the exact commands I issue to build my kernel so here they are. >> # device npx0 at isa? port IO_NPX irq 13 >> device npx0 at isa? port IO_NPX MS> Why did you do this?

I changed with that line because that's the last thing that shows during a boot of a new kernel and I figured that it must be misallocating or misreading something to do with the npx. dmesg contains: npx0 on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface ...why is IRQ set to 13 on the npx0 line? Maybe I should change the 13 to a 16? (Or actually a 15 .. IIRC IRQ's go from 0-15 or 0x0-0xf.) The next thing that happens when booting with the GENERIC kernel is it installs the pentium f00f hack. I put the pty's back in and reverted the npx line to the original way it was and I'm building the kernel again now. I got a different Instruction Pointer at the crash which translates to: bash-2.03$ nm /kernel | grep -i "c019d4" c019d418 T cninit_finish c019d474 t cnuninit c019d4cc t sysctl_kern_consmute bash-2.03$ In order to build this kernel I edited the DELTA_9 file: Changed ident to "DELTA_9.1" Reverted the npx0 line to its original form Removed the line for pn1 Uncommented the pty line More help please! I don't understand why this machine is being recalcitrant about compiling the kernel. I've compiled kernels on my AMD K6/350 and a P][/233 without any of this kind of trouble.
