From: jdowdal@wam.umd.edu (John Dowdal) Subject: Can't reboot with newest SLS Date: Sat, 1 May 1993 16:56:46 GMT
I just installed the SLS version from tsx-11 to play with 'term' a bit. I
got the kernel rebuilt so it could find my modem (com3, irq5), but I still
cannot reboot. Both shutdown -r now and <CAD> hang right when they should
reboot (they say sending all procs a SIGTERM, then sending all procs a
SIGKILL, then it just sits there). I have a Gateway 2000 486/33 machine
w/8 megs with an old (1.5 years) phoenix BIOS. Way back when Linux was
at version .1, I remember people could not get these gateway's to reboot,
but I forget how to fix it.
Also, when I rebuilt the kernel, the C compiler was "killed by fatal signal
11". I think this is because I ran out of memory (I don't have enough
free disk space to make a swapfile now). Simply typing 'make' again let
it continue building. Am I correct assuming that it simply ran out of
memory?
