From: Epstein@DOCKMASTER.NCSC.MIL Subject: BUGS in linux-0.96a Date: Thu, 28 May 1992 00:53:55 GMT
Just compiled using gcc-2.11a linux-0.96a with digest210 patch1
digest216 sys.c and digest222 keyboard.c
Tried to use XC, it displayed phone number when did a dial but modem
didn't dial. CTRL-C did not help.
Did a ps -U and then ps -axl and killed two processes with wchan
"read_chan".
Tried again. Same result. [didn't report that /usr/spool/uucp still
contained LCK..ttys2 from first try.
Tried with 0.96 bootimage --- same result
Powered modem off/on 0.96 bootimage reports lock file.
I tried to do ps -U with 0.96 bootimage --- of course it failed as
/usr/src/linux is 0.96a and need to mv /usr/src/linux to
/usr/src/linux-0.96a and restore /usr/src/linux-0.96 to /usr/src/linux
to have valid ps -U
IMHO: Not to nice to have to keep old kernels around. I probably will
write script to save old psdatabase when do ps -U.
Anyway, linux-0.96a had problems with XC and modem.
Sorry about side-track on ps -U, I would abort sending this message if
the system I'm on allowed.
