SCO XENIX 2.3.2 and 16 Megabytes of memory
in 25MHz machines
A problem exists with 16MB in 25MHz machines where the top 128KB should
be made inaccessible but can in fact be addressed by the operating system. This can cause
random core dumping of programs and corruption of programs and data in memory.
A patch is available for SCO XENIX 2.3.2 which restricts access to the
top 128KB, and is as follows -
|
cp xenix xenix.patch |
|
adb -w xenix.patch |
|
ranges+0x14 |
|
/w0xfe0 |
|
$q |
|
mv xenix xeinix.prior |
|
ln xenix.patch xenix |
Once the kernel has been patched you must reboot your system.
| N.B. |
You will need to install this patch again if you reconfigure your
kernel at any time. |
