Operating Systems SCO SCO unresponsive after root disk Post 302943362 by graysona on Thursday 7th of May 2015 03:33:09 PM
Old 05-07-2015
So after pulling the replacement controller out of stores it was DOA. vendor would not honor warranty So I was allowed to do more work, also I found a bevy of old PC parts I could use to start isolating the problem.

After swapping everything out then returning all to normal. I decided to build a frankenstien out of the spare parts, and attempt to restore the HD which had been formatted to try to see if I could get some better error codes.
moved original D into frankenstien then restored original image back onto it.
after having to make a minor mkdev graphics change. the system booted right up with no problems, until it tried to find boards required to run the system software.

moved HD back into original controller booted up then gave the following code
Open event driver failed.
Fatal server error:
Check mouse configuration.
turns out PS2 mouse had enough uph to limp in windows but failed in SCO unix.

The lock up occurs when the PS2 mouse fails.

ordering new P2 motherboard. just wanted to update on the root cause of all this and close this thread out.
thanks again for all your help.

mfontset_lookup(3m17n)						 The m17n Library					    mfontset_lookup(3m17n)

NAME
mfontset_lookup - Lookup a fontset. SYNOPSIS
MPlist * mfontset_lookup (MFontset * fontset, MSymbol script, MSymbol language, MSymbol charset) DESCRIPTION
Lookup a fontset. The mfontset_lookup() function lookups fontset and returns a plist that describes the contents of fontset corresponding to the specified script, language, and charset. If script is Mt, keys of the returned plist are script name symbols for which some fonts are specified and values are NULL. If script is a script name symbol, the returned plist is decided by language. o If language is Mt, keys of the plist are language name symbols for which some fonts are specified and values are NULL. A key may be Mt which means some fallback fonts are specified for the script. o If language is a language name symbol, the plist is a FONT-GROUP for the specified script and language. FONT-GROUP is a plist whose keys are FLT (FontLayoutTable) name symbols (Mt if no FLT is associated with the font) and values are pointers to MFont. o If language is Mnil, the plist is fallback FONT-GROUP for the script. If script is Mnil, the returned plist is decided as below. o If charset is Mt, keys of the returned plist are charset name symbols for which some fonts are specified and values are NULL. o If charset is a charset name symbol, the plist is a FONT-GROUP for the charset. o If charset is Mnil, the plist is a fallback FONT-GROUP. RETURN VALUE
It returns a plist describing the contents of a fontset. The plist should be freed by m17n_object_unref(). COPYRIGHT
