AT&T UNIX AND AST SYSTEMS
|
|
|
|
|
|
PROBLEM: Cannot boot with AT&T UNIX System V/386 Release 4.0 Version
|
|
2.1.
|
|
|
|
CAUSE: AT&T UNIX interprets an SMC floppy controller as a 82077
|
|
controller when in fact it is a 37C65. This puts the 37C65
|
|
part into an invalid mode causing a "panic error".
|
|
|
|
SYSTEMS
|
|
AFFECTED: All systems using an SMC floppy controller.
|
|
|
|
SOLUTION: AT&T only supports AT&T machines with AT&T UNIX. Therefore,
|
|
AST cannot support the Operating System and recommends that
|
|
customers use SCO UNIX System version 3.2.4, Microport SVR4 or
|
|
other upcoming UNIX's which will support AST systems.
