Re: ONINIT ERROR - shared memory

Hi Peter, The parametrs in the release notes are the number with which the software has been tested. Naturally, it will not sufice for all possible configurations. Minimize your onconfig parameters to small values, especially use a small number of BUFFERS, LOCKS, DS_TOTAL_MEMORY and use 0 as the value for SHMTOTAL. Check carefully the release notes, in some ports there are 2 lists on system parameters. Regards, Roy Gvirtsman, Snr.
