Hey, all. I'm trying to broaden my horizons, so I've taken one of my infra- structure machines that was running NetBSD and I've installed Woody on it.
One thing I notice right off the bat is that things are a good bit more sluggish in terms of user interaction. I don't yet know why this is, but I notice things like my cursor in X freezing under what should be fairly moderate load. But, since the box mostly serves NFS and only rarely gets used as an X console, I can live with that. Another thing I note is that I don't see my sound hardware showing up. This isn't a huge issue for the reasons stated above, but I'm curious about it. Is there no support for SUN4M sound hardware? Or, must I install something that didn't get added by default? The only thing that strikes me as potentially worrisome is this: Why do I get a bunch of "Unimplemented SPARC system call" errors at startup, and what does this indicate? An excerpt from my dmesg: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. init[1]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 69 Adding Swap: 196600k swap-space (priority -1) eth0: Carrier Lost, trying TPE portmap[109]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 87 cp[135]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 69 mv[159]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 69 inetd[225]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 53 lpd[229]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 69 sunmouse: Successfully adjusted to 1200 baud. Installing knfsd (copyright (C) 1996 [EMAIL PROTECTED]) My box is a plain-vanilla SPARCstation 5 with a cgsix in it. Here's some of what /proc/cpuinfo says about my processor: cpu : Fujitsu MB86904 fpu : Lsi Logic/Meiko L64804 or compatible promlib : Version 3 Revision 2 prom : 2.15 type : sun4m Everything seems to be working as expected, but I am curious nonetheless. Thanks in advance for clues. Apologies in advance if I'm slow in replying, as I'll be away from my keyboard for a week or so starting tomorrow afternoon. I will read everything that crosses the list on getting back. -- Mason Loring Bliss [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ewige Blumenkraft! https://www.deadsexy.org/ awake ? sleep : random() & 2 ? dream : sleep;
