Hello again,
Well, i don't think I am starting two timesync, ps a shows only one:
cpu% ps a |grep timesync
bootes 77 0:00 0:00 92K Pread timesync
I also can not write to /dev/rtc, so the timesync part of cpurc fails, this
part in particular
=========snip
if(! ps|grep -s timesync) {
aux/timesync -n pool.ntp.org
if (test -e '#r/rtc') @ {
sleep 10 # let timesync correct the time
awk '{print $1}' /dev/time >'#r/rtc' # fix hw clock
} &
}
=============
awk: i/o error occurred while closing /dev/stdout
input record /dev/time:1
source line 1
I have also tried to compile the kernel by doing:
cpu% fcp /n/sources/contrib/rminnich/lguest/lg25.tgz $home/src; cd $home/src;
tar xzf lg25.tgz;
cpu% mkdir src/boot
cpu% mkdir src/ip
cpu% mkdir src/pc
cpu% mkdir src/port
cpu% rc bin/rc/lguest
cpu% mk 'conf=lguestcpu'
.....
8c -FTVw lgkbd.c
../port/portdat.h:536 dat.h:130 lgkbd.c:4 syntax error, last name: Tval
mk: 8c -FTVw lgkbd.c : exit status=rc 887: 8c 889: error
Any help would be appreciated, this timesync problem is causing me quite some
headaches :-)
Thanks
John
