I would like to hear from someone running microport 386
with greater than 8 megs of RAM.
We are using a Wedge Tech 386 with 10-1/2 megs RAM. Neither
version 2.2L nor 3.0e will boot with more than 8 megs. I had to go
under 8 to do the installation, modify the value of NBUF in kdef.h,
re-build the kernel, and re-install the memory.
Just after booting, I get a kernel trap type 0x02. The same
kernel will boot fine with < 8megs installed. QAPLUS diagnostics
ran repeated memory test for 36 hours with no errors. I built
kernels with NBUF = 4000, 3000, 2000, 1000, 500, 100, 50. All kernel
trap except 50. The kernel with NBUF = 50 runs. But 50k buffers
is really slow.
So If you are running microport 386 with more than 8 megs RAM, I
would really like to hear from you.
thanks,
