Hi,
I usually compile my own kernels and some binaries. So far
I had no problems with that, but recently I seem to have a slight
problem:
ps doesn't work with my newer kernels anymore it reports the
following:
ps: proc size mismatch (got 13846 total, kinfo_proc: 560)
compiling a new ps results in nothing... no error, no output??
Also ls -l doesn't seem to work either when compiled under a new
kernel
here is what it produced till todays kernel

here is what it produced with todays kernel(10.Apr.1994) (ls recompiled)
root@atze(48)$ ls -l
total 0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
then I do gdb -c ls.core and get:
root@atze(50)$ gdb -c ls.core
"/home/bin/ls/ls.core" is not a core dump: File truncated
(gdb)
Any clues?
Also there is a problem with the floppy:
when I do a newfs /dev/rfd0 I get the following:
root@atze(2)$ newfs /dev/rfd0
/dev/rfd0: 1760 sectors in 80 cylinders of 2 tracks, 11 sectors
0.9MB in 5 cyl groups (16 c/g, 0.18MB/g, 64 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
32, 400, 736, 1104, 1440,
newfs: ioctl (WDINFO): Invalid argument
newfs: /dev/rfd0: can't rewrite disk label
The disk can still be mounted and I can write to it and read from it.
(I haven't verified if the info I write to it is valid, I'll do that
later)
after unmounting and remounting the disk I got a mmufault and the
system died on me :(
The system can distinguish on startup between HD and DD floppies, but
when doing a newfs it treats them all as DD.
Can anyone help? At least with the ps problem please.
Thanks.
Arthur.
