List of bugs discovered in 1.7.1. Please report more bugs to kjb@cs.vu.nl.
|
||||
|
||||
- The updates to the BIOS driver have only been tested on a few machines.
|
||||
If it doesn't work on your machine then type 'processor=86' to the
|
||||
Boot Monitor to force Minix into real mode.
|
||||
|
||||
- The XT and PS disk drivers do not work, use the BIOS driver instead.
|
||||
|
||||
- Disabling all WINI drivers in <minix/config.h> leads to a compilation
|
||||
error. (The definition of NR_TASKS in <minix/const.h> is wrong.)
|
||||
Leave at least one of the WINI drivers enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
- The AT disk driver uses a scratch buffer in its initialization
|
||||
routine that has not been initialized. This error is masked if the
|
||||
Adaptec SCSI driver is initialized first, because it will then
|
||||
initialize the scratch buffer for the AT driver. This is why the
|
||||
installation ROOT floppy works. A kernel with only the AT driver
|
||||
fails on an old AT disk, but an IDE disk will seemingly work. The
|
||||
bug will cause the driver to report wrong parameters to 'part'.
|
||||
A fix to this bug is found in fixes/fix-1.
