Our crashes haven't abated, but many responses have increased my awareness of the nature of our problem. Let me summarize: We have an 11/70, and are a brand new 2.9 site. That is, we got the 2.9BSD tape, followed the installation guide, recompiled a local kernel, and have applied no patches of any kind to the distributed source files. Our changes to localopts.h were trivial; 2 DH's, etc. No changes in subtle (to me) things like stack size. It appears like there's been a lot of 2.9 analysis and debugging, but because I'm new on the net (through this vax account), I've not had the benefit of any previous interactions. Some people have sent me mail mentioning "segmentation code", xp and ht driver bugs (we use both drivers), and so on, and I've asked a few respondees for more info, but has anyone maintained a list of the key fixes I have to make to keep from crashing two or three times a day? Thanks for helping me on this! -- Jeff Percival ...!uwvax!uwmacc!jwp
