I am having zip drive problems again which I can't seem
to explain.
Yesterday, I used the stock 1.3 GENERICSBC kernel, mounted
my zip drive
mount /dev/sd2g /zip
put the NetBSD source on it, added Paul Goyettes SLOTMAN stuff
to it and made myself a slotman kernel with sbc instead of
ncrscsi (because ncrscsi did not work in the past with the zip).
Everything seemed fine, I could boot the new kernel and run fine.
The problem was with the zip. In single user mode, I could
do stuff like
fsck /dev/sd2g
and
mount /dev/sd2g /zip
cd /zip
{do file operations successfully here}
cd /
umount /zip
and everything was fine. BUT, if I go ahead and boot all the way
to multi user mode (I use xdm these days) and try
su
mount /dev/sd2g /zip
ls /zip
I get a kernel panic. I tried to back up and use the GENERICSBC
kernel I used last night (I think its the same one) and I get the
same results (ok under single user, panic under multiuser with X).
The panic is:
panic: pmap_alloc_pv: pgi_nfree inconsistent
stopped at _Debugger
db>t
_Debugger
_panic
_pmap_alloc_pv
_pmap_enter
_vm_fault
_trap
faultstkadj
db>
My machine is a IIci, 20MB
I _know_ it worked last night with GENERICSBC because I put
all the source on the zip and complied in the zip. I don't
believe I'm doing anything different today.
Anyone else see this problem?
