| |
I had jumped from slackware 3.0 (1.2.13 / 1.3.8 kernel) to the new 2.0 version of Linux. I am currently running kernel version 2.0.20.
I have gone through the documentation on how to upgrade from 1.2.xx versions of the linux kernel to the latest and greatest 2.0.xx version. This is the document found inside the kernel source archive (linux-2.0.20.tar.gz) when expanded, the pathname I have it at is /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes.
Since I had upgraded from a Slackware 3.0 install, the document stated that everything should be okay if I get the new versions of the programs listed in the document.
If I am running a procps package less than 1.01, I am supposed to get Floating Point Exceptions on some 'ps' options... I upgraded my procps package to the latest 1.01 distribution but I am getting Floating Point Exceptions whenever I do a 'ps -uax' command. Using 'ps -ax' or just 'ps' works just fine to this date... Here is the exact screen dump of when I run the command 'ps -uax':
river:/ # ps -uax USER PID %CPU %MEM SIZE RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND Floating point exception river:/ #
When I run 'top', it has no problem displaying the user PID, user, PRI, NI, etc... fields - only a problem when 'ps' tried to display the user field.
If any other information is needed, like some kernel-booting messages or other various pieces, please let me know. I would appreciate any 'constructive' opinions/solutions for this problem, since I try to use 'ps -uax' a lot.
Thanks a bunch!
