- Hello again,
-
- A bit more information on some problems that I saw with V1.0X and the Minix
- file system. First here is my hardware config,
-
- TT030 4ST + 16TT
- 1 Quantum lp105 (17M TOS, 25M TOS, 63M Minix) SCSI#0 on TT-SCSI bus.
- 1 Syquest 5510 (63M Minix, 25M TOS) SCSI#1 on TT-SCSI bus.
- 1 Insite Floptical (21M TOS) SCSI#4 on TT-SCSI bus.
-
- I built Mint 1.05, and booted with minix.xfs (0.55), and partition E (63M on
- the Quantum) was not recognized. A relogging of the connected HD's with the
- ADSCI control panel [from ICD] solves the problem. Now this problem goes away
- if I use the alpha version of minix.xfs (0.60 PL2), but another interesting
- problem pops up. With the new minix.xfs all HD behavior is as expected and
- read/write's to the partition work as expected. The only problem is when I
- launch a copy of Emacs (18.59) [this is a port that I did for MiNT and did not
- yet get out the door] I get a bus error at the tail end of the emacs
- load+execute cycle. This is odd since all other programs [bash included] have
- no problem running with the new minix.xfs file system installed?
-
- So for now I am back using v0.55 of minix.xfs and relogging the HD's at boot
- time for I cannot live without emacs? Any ideas as to what can be causing this
- behavior.
-
- Yesterday I reported this in much less detail and also mention some problems
- with messages of the form [data on drive E: may be damaged]. this problem went
- away when I rebuilt MiNT 1.05 without "-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer" and just
- "-O". It seems that GCC [in general, not just the atari port] for the 68K has
- some problems with "-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer", I have seen this problem when
- compiling other programs before.
-
-
- Cheers,
- Scott.
