Hi *,
1.) I have just increased the kernel buffer size in /usr/include/sys/msgbuf.h
as I was advised by Joerg Wunsch.
It works great. Now I can see all kernel start messages when invoking
dmesg. Since I have 14 devices attached to 2 Adaptec 2940 this was not
possible before.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to increase this number in general, let's say
to 8k, in 2.2 and in current?
2.) In function Disk_Names, which resides in /usr/src/lib/libdisk/disk.c,
the maximum number of disks probed is limited to 10 for each device
type wd* or sd*. This means, that my disks sd10 to sd14 won't get
recognized by Disk_Names and therefore by sysinstall. Even
if you haven't got this number of disks, sd10 can be reached quickly,
by wiring down targets 0-6 at scbus 0 to sd0-6 and targets 0-6 at scbus 1
to sd8-14 as I am doing it at the moment.
Maybe it makes sence to increase this number too. My suggestion would be
16 or 32 at the moment.
Thanks
Andre
