Weird startup message in 3.1.3rc1
Hello,
I'm new in using Minix. I recently installed 3.1.2a. I upgraded to
3.1.3rc1 yesterday. Now I got a weird startup message:
-----------------------------------------------------
....
Multiuser startup
....
....
....
Local packages (start): done.
PM: ion no_sys, call nr 83 from 35612
Warning: TTY got illegal request 100 from 35611
sizeup ioctl: invalid argument
used fstat instead
mkfs: this device can't hold a filesystem.
....
....
...
minix login: _
-------------------------------------------------------------
All I found out is; call nr 83 does not exist in the header file
callnr.h
It seems to me as a harmless "bug". I do not recognize any other
trouble, when I use the system.
What do you think that could be?
greetings

Did you recompile and re-install all binaries?
83 used to be ALLOCMEM.

That was it. Done. The faulty Monk was turned out into the desert where it
could believe what it liked, including the idea that it had been hard done
by. It was allowed to keep its horse, since horses were so cheap to make.

There were no additional packages installed as I upgraded from 3.1.2a
to 3.1.3rc1. I just changed /usr/src (which means 3.1.2a) to be
/usr/src (now 3.1.3rc1). Then I made a "make world". That was all. Did
I forgot something?

Strange. I guess I have to try it sometime to see what goes wrong.

I found the problem. /etc/rc calls /etc/rc.rescue, and /etc/rc.rescue tries
to start the rescue driver which is no longer part of the distribution.
The easiest solution is to delete the call to /etc/rc.rescue in /etc/rc or
to remove /etc/rc.rescue or /sbin/rescue.
