AFAIK, there's no way to turn caching completely off in Linux. You can

Easiest is probably through /etc/sysctl.conf and running sysctl as
part of the boot process. Once you know what you need in there.

Yes, there is, but the question is: why would you want to? The bootmap

You cannot move binaries from DOS to Linux especially on different hardware platforms.
You need to rebuild from source.

If it is a PC executable, it probably won't run. You need to obtain the

the MP3000 uses.

In my continuing efforts to build a 64-bit version of Slack/390, I'm running

interruption code messages that get generated. Is there a pointer to a
document that contains explanations for these that anyone knows about?

You've probably already seen this, but just in case... there's a
tiny bit in

I was trying to _not_ do that, since what I'm really looking for is
documentation that I can use to figure it out myself. But, here it is:
User process fault: interruption code 0x6
CPU:0Not tainted
Process nm (pid: 3273, task: 00c44000, ksp: 00c47e80)
User PSW :
interruption code 0x6 = specification exception (which is why the invalid PSW message
is there - the user PSW has an odd address which is invalid)
Where is the 0x40001 or 0x020001 error you refer to?

Hi, Mark
Slack may be giving you the fullword at 0x8c, consisting of two-byte ILC
and two-byte code. The instruction length code will be the number of
bytes in the faulting instruction: 2, 4, or 6. The code will be the
0x0001 part of the examples you gave, Operation Exception for code
0x0001.
