hi jan --

i saw that i wrote my last message too soon and that you had posted
the patches to the list, so i gave them a shot -- applied all three
and built a new kernel, compiled fine, runs with no trouble.

i pulled down what i assume (?) is the most current version of coda from cvs --

cvs co -P coda

and built that; just --

autoconf
cp ../coda-6.1.2/config.h.in
   (seemed to need one, and i figured this might do the trick)
./configure ; make ; make client-install

then i run venus and i get --

Fatal Signal (6)

which is incidentally the same thing that happened when i tried to use
coda-6.1.2 venus with the single kernel tweak that you suggested
earlier in this thread --

>  mnt->dev = *dev;

i cranked up the debug level to 100 and didn't really get anything in the log --

[ X(00) : 0000 : 22:11:06 ] Coda Venus, version 6.9.0
[ X(00) : 0000 : 22:11:06 ] Logfile initialized with LogLevel = 100 at

[ T(01) : 0000 : 22:11:07 ] RegisterDaemon:

i attached gdb to it and got this data -- hope it might be useful?

any thoughts? this is running on

wildflower.diablonet.net> uname -a

not sure if this is something i'm doing incorrectly, or if venus is
not quite ready yet, or perhaps something else entirely :|
