Subject: Problems with ide drive on a very old machine
Date: Fri, 16 Feb 1996 18:02:00 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19960216230200.k-83E84PqvAe_NBUDW4JD7JAI2nqTT5B6h3RWV2F_0Q@z> (raw)
I am trying to use as an authentification server an old 386sx16. With the
kernel installed by the installation procedure, the disk hanged and could
not be accessed before a reset (but the machine booted via il).
After applying the updates (and the forsyth's patch found in 9fans to
unlock the keyboard), I can boot 9pcdisk on the local disk if I set
the root on the file server. At boot time, I have:
session...fs...kfs init 6: can't read #H/hd0fs
and the boot proceeds. Strangely enough, the hd0* files appear in /dev.
Once I have a rc running:
term$ disk/kfs -f /dev/hd0fs
kfs init 67: can't read /dev/hd0fs
term$ disk/kfs -f /dev/hd0fs
term$ mount /srv/kfs /mnt
term$ cd /mnt; cat readme
I.e: the first kfs seems to fail, the second succeeds.
Before plunging in devata.c, has anyone an idea? Does the problem
most likely comes from the controller or from the disk?
