Try doing it again. Signall 11 usually means you have bad ram in your computer and usually fails randomly, so if you type make install it might progress further. If you still cannot complete, try replacing ram with known good ram. On Mon, 10 Jul 2000, Frederik Meerwaldt wrote: >Hi all, > >I'

why it's not possible to suspend SCSI drives like the ATA/IDE ones ? I'm not talking about camcontrol suspend feature. if you have a mounted filesystem, and access a file onto that filesystem while the drive is suspended in this manner, the system gives up. and it is not so good (at all :) to do

Restating the question. Is there a way to force PXE to 1) not probe for a console 2) use a serial port as the default com port I know I can put set console="comconsole" in /boot/loader.rc. Normally, this is set in the boot blocks, but we don't have these in pxeboot. Thanks, -- Alan Edmonds
