- I've just installed patches 2 through 5 on my SLS distribution; let
- me give a quick run down on my hardware:
-
- Tandy 4800HD (80486sx -20 mhz) laptop, 50 mb hard drive linux partition,
- 10 mb dos 5.0 partition, 4 mb ram (within a week, will be at 8 mb).
-
- I'm seeing the following items now happening:
-
- 1) upon boot with LILO, I'm not being asked if I'd like to select any
- svga modes, but yet the 4 options are displayed and then quickly passed
- over. (i.e. no pausing to select the svga mode, but it does display the
- four offered).
-
- 2) when I do a man of anything (and this also follows with some of the
- other commands/programs), I'm being warned about an old copy of stat()
- being used, and that I should recompile...but it still continues on
- with the execution (this is bothersome).
-
- 3) when i try to issue a 'w' command, I get the following:
- 'lseek kmem: Unknown error 127469004'
- this also happens when I try the ps command.
-
- 4) gnuchess gives a segmentation fault (running in normal mode; not in
- X386 mode).
-
- any ideas? i think I might have found one problem; the Makefile in the
- /usr/src/linux directory had two occurances for specifying the svga
- choice.
