Stupid question, but have you tried remaking the device node?

Subject: bad /dev/cuaa1??



 This is rather bizarre.  I have two virtually identical USR modems;
 I also have vitually identical ppp and tip and cu setup--I just
 copied over tarballs from this system to sage.thought.org.

 According to ppp:

   Warning: deflink: /dev/cuaa1: Bad file descriptor

 tip and cu (cu -pport1 dir) indicate that something is amiss with
 /dev/cuaa1.  The LED's are on my older modem are not what they
 were some months ago.  If I remember correctly the switches in
 back were fine so I shouldn't have to change anything.

 Can anybody figure out how to get this second link working?

 thanks much,

 gary

Re: AMD K6-2 / 550

2000-07-03 Thread Greg Work

Hey Steve...

do you mean loader as in BootEasy  (or whatever it is called) or just prior
to the "twirling baton" stage?

if the latter - how can you bypass it?

Cheers

 Hi,

 A possibility (only). I have two AMD K6-2 boxes currently both of
which
 work fine. BUT on one of them if I use the loader then I get crashes,
 unrecoverable disc errors and all sorts of nasty things. Booting straight
into
 the kernel is fine, I can run forever under heavy load. On the other
machine I
 have no problems at all with or without loader.

 See if not using the loader makes any difference, if so there may
be
 something trackable.

2000-07-03 Thread Greg Work

 I don't know if this applies but I have a k6-2 400mhz that was getting
 signal 11's frequently during compiling or cpu extensive functions. And
 simply adding heat sink compound between cpu and fan solved it.

 Dave


That easy huh??

hmm...i may have to see if i can scam some thermal grease.

(i will bury my head in the sand for a while if this turns out to be the
solution :)  - im currently using the frag tape that came attached to the
bottom of the heatsink )

Re: AMD K6-2 / 550

2000-07-01 Thread Greg Work

  Just a quick question - *exactly* what was the symptoms of your problem?
 
  ive just turned a K6-2 300 into a BSD box, and make world fails with
  SIG's 10, 11 and 12 randomly.  I know its not the memory - i have
  been thrashing that memory for 12 mths now - never skipped a beat.

 You mean it never discovered a problem?  What software were you
 running?

Was running win98 - and used to dual boot 3.0 -- 3.2-STABLE with 98

It got retired to a straight win98 box (ducks objects thrown at him) when i
got a second machine


  The CPU / Motherboard / Memory used to run BSD in the 2.2.8 - 3.2
  days no problems.  Now - no luck :( - i get random panics, SIG 10's
  to 12's and core dumps - unfortunately - i have no idea how to debug
  them :(

 If they're hardware related, there's probably not much to see except
 that things will be different each time.

 I suspect that a large number of crashes on Microsoft machines are in
 fact due to flaky hardware.  Despite my low opinion of Microsoft, I
 have not had an unexpected crash of a Microsoft system in years (it
 helps, of course, if you don't use them much :-).

the funny thing was that it never skipped a beat under M$ after a bios flash
(it didnt like my vid card - but thats another issue :)  )

/me is intregued
