Lines: 22 We built a kernel with the listed patches (bare bonez 1.3PH [Prentice Hall] except for the patches). After dealing with complaints from "patch" that the cdiff file was malformed (it is -- something is not dealing correctly with the long comment lines. Marty, did you create that with Minix cdiff, or something else?) we got it to compile and make an image. The image booted and read the disk on the Zenith 286 that we originally built it on, and on an (allegedly 8MHz) IBM/AT that had been giving us problems upto now. On the AT, we ran "dd if=/dev/hd0 of=/dev/null", and it read fine for a long time but eventually crapped out with an IO error, which may have been a genuine bad block. We need to explore further.
