I will really appraciate any kind of hints/help to find out what is wrong.
I have installed the SLS .98p5 and upgraded the kernel image to 0.99p1, so
I boot with a floppy made by 'make disk' of this version. I have also
upgraded the X of SLS to XFree1.1 and installed XView3L2. To upgrade the
kernel I have only recompiled the kernel 0.99p1 and replaced the boot image
with it. I hope this has been enough (I don't know much about operating
systems!).
Now the problem:
1) When I reboot the computer or turn it on, I get the message
ioctl: Invalid argument
2) I compile an application which I have written using XView, and
then I try to run it in an xterm with bash.
What happens is that the application returns immediately without
anything happening. Just like running a null application.
3) I try to run the application in xxgdb. First I get the message:
[ioctl TIOCSPGRP failed in terminal-inferior: Not a typewriter]
in the window of xxgdb, and then the application runs as it should.
Now my question is:
1) Is this problem arised from upgrading the system in a wrong way?
2) or is the problem source the fail somewhere when starting the
system where I get the message: 'ioctl: Invalid argument'?
3) or ?
4) When upgrading the kernel, is it enough to replace the old Image
with the one built by recompiling the new kernel source. Or are
there any other things which are dependent on the new version of
the kernel?
I would really love to have a usable system. I hope some Linux/? experts can
help me to find the source of the problem.
Thanks in advance,
Ade'l
