First, my fossil+venti system gives me an "error 2" every time I boot
the machine (the message is about the arena being more recent than the
last write time). The machine boots fine after that but the message is
annoying and I am afraid it can indicate something more serious. Any
advice on how to get rid of it is greatly appreciated.
Are you also getting some error like
ndb/dns: cannot read my ip address
printed at boot? I had the same issue - venti stopped complaining when I
managed to get the machine resolve ip addresses :) (does it do some
timesync'ing?). To do that, I needed to comment out some if tests for
network in termrc, so that my termrc simply was running:
ip/ipconfig >/dev/null >[2=1]
ndb/dns -rf $NDBFILE
(see details in some mails a few weeks ago). You'll of course need to
configure your network properly.
