Atari ST MINIX 1.6.25 upgrade
Klaus Georg Barthelmann
With the help of Frans Meulenbroeks, I finally managed to upgrade from PH 1.5 to
1.6.25. The tests, however, revealed a few problems:
1. A file /etc/uname is needed. The format can be found in commands/simple/uname.c.
2. ar has to be renamed to aal in sh1. The comment concerning different options
between the ibm and atari versions is probably wrong.
3. Test 8 causes a
Kernel panic, trap via vector 2
...
Push reset button
(By the way, reset does not work.)
4. The tests 9 and 35 fail. Test 9 gives
longj error
Abort - core dumped
(A longj error is also common when hitting the interrupt key.)
and test 35 gives
sig=11 to pid=... at ...
...
Memory fault - core dumped
5. Test 16 sometimes prints
Subtest 1, error ... errno=4 : Interrupted system call
where ... once ran through 23, 24, 25, 26 and another time through 19, 20.
6. Tests 28 and 29 print the message "test: not found".
