"VE7IHL (Lane)" <<yhaej.vvnhqbab@sporknet.cz>
had the following problem:
<color><param>7F00,0000,0000</param>> I have a system running the following:
> Slackware 3.4
> Kernel updated to 2.0.35
> Intel Pentium-133 (not MMX) and 32MB ram
> ax25-utils-2.1.42a
> net-tools-1.33
>
> We are running both XFBB and TNOS on the same machine.
> We are also running the node software too.
>
> We are getting some callsigns that the ax.25 kernel support seems to be
> ignoring. When I log onto the the node, and type a 'link' command, it
> shows these callsigns as 'Disconnected' (this stays like this forever) and
> the 'Rcv-Q' set at -180. This seems quite strange to me. (-180?) What does
> 'disconnected' mean. (other than the obvious)
>
> We have also had problems running XFBB where some callsigns cause it to
> crash rightaway.
>
> I have another system running on a Pentium-150, using Slackware 3.3 (also
> same kernel 2.0.35, and other stuff) and I am not seeing any of these
> problems at all. (i.e. almost the exact same software)

<color><param>7F00,0000,0000</param>> We have changed the dram read/write timing in the machine's cmos setup to

</color>At this time, I am using an older Slackwar version with an updated
GCC, but as
<color><param>0000,0000,8000</param>Akinori AIZAWA <<hedooxk.luvpmtyx@netmogi.com.br>
</color>reports, there are problems with the C compiler included in
Slackware 3.4:
>The Slackware 3.4.0's gcc has bug.
>So, you should replace the Slack gcc with
<underline><color><param>0000,8000,0000</param>>ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/libc/gcc-2.7.2.3.bin.tar.gz
</underline>If you compiled your AX.25 programs under Slackware 3.4 as well,
you might be affected by this bug. Maybe the other GCC version
helps.
