- Thanks to all who helped me with advice on how to recover from my
- sysgen disaster. I got a fresh copy and managed to repair one of the
- damaged disks. Now, backed up to the gills, I am trying to get things
- to run.
-
- Two questions:
-
- F77:
- Can anyone tell me what "Error 2 -- Task initialization failure" means
- in rsx-11 v4.0 (it occurs in response to trying to run a .tsk file
- made with TKB from a Fortran 77 program) ? I have tried a number
- of trivial correct f77 programs (at least on several other f77
- compilers they work), and the fortran compiler and tkb both run
- without any error messages, no mention of anything wrong that I can
- see in the .lst and .map files, but I get the above error every time I
- try to run the resulting tasks? I have most of the manual set, but cannot
- find this error documented anywhere.
-
-
- KERMIT:
- I have a 1200 baud modem connected to an ACT Quadrasync card
- (emulates four DL11's), and I have been running kermit just fine under
- RT-11 using this setup. Now, under rsx-11 I'd like to do the same thing.
-
- Here is the voodoo that I have tried before running kermit, based on
- the information in k11ins.doc (the modem is connected to TT2:)
-
- set /slave=tt2:
- set /typeahead=tt2: (my version of rsx-11 won't accept a numeric arg here)
- set /ebc=tt2:
- set /lower=tt2:
- set /buf=tt2:255.
- all tt2:
- ins [100,10]kermit/task=...ker
- ker
-
- Once in kermit-11, I
-
- set line tt2:
-
- Then, when I try to set the speed to 1200, I get a message that the
- receive buffer is too small. (but I have no idea how to make it
- bigger). If I go ahead and connect anyway, things seem to work for an
- indeterminate period of time (I can send commands to the modem, dial
- up, connect, log in to a remote system, etc) then the whole system
- crashes, halting with 002522 in the display register on the cpu. I get
- a dump on the console with CRASH -- CONT WITH SCRATCH MEDIA ON DM0 at
- the bottom (even if I am running from the RL drives with DM0 turned _off_)
- If I use kermit to download files from a PC connected as the console of the
- pdp-11 (set line ti: instead of tt2:) things work fine.
-
- Any idea what I am doing wrong?
