I finally got a game transferred to my 7300 using Umodem. I started the game (Klondike) and clicked on a card. The computer started making weird beeps and spit out a ton of garbage characters to the screen. It was hard locked up and I had to reboot it.I think I pushed the reset button in the back.
Now the computer starts up, detects the hard drive, goes about 20-30 seconds more in the boot process and then hangs with "panic: init died". I put in my diagnostics floppy and ran the CPU, memory and hard disk tests all successfully. Anyone here haveideas on how I can further troubleshoot?
Thanks in advance,I could not figure out how to fix the panic init without doing a fresh install. I initialized the hard disk and did a surface scan for bad blocks. It found about 8 more before completing. I then re-installed the OS (version 3.0) from a set of

I had a thought that maybe klondike was corrupted in the transfer. I use the built-in
umodem program on the Unix PC and minicom on my Linux laptop. Minicom comes with the
xmodem protocol configured and I read that xmodem and umodem are compatible.
In article <92053a43-af18-4c02...@googlegroups.com>,I don't see cksum but there is a sum program. I used it in the form "sum -r <filename>" and the sums matched between the laptop on PC7300. So, doesn't look like any corruption occurred in the file transfer.

The general advice is to look for Kermit and try to use that to transfer the file.
Or to set up and use UUCP over the serial line between the Unix PC and Linux.
Glad I was able to help with the '@' character.

I don't see cksum but there is a sum program. I used it in the form
I got the source and binary from here: http://unixpc.org/3b1/osu/games/klondke.cpio.Z

I got the source and binary from here: http://unixpc.org/3b1/osu/games/klondke.cpio.ZFWIW -- the copy I have sitting on a unix system (but compiled
for the 3b1) gives the following -- with or without the "-r" option:
======================================================================Thank you Don for the checksums. Neither the sum nor checksum results match mine for klondike. I suspect we got the binary and sources from differing places.
35518 52 ======================================================================
cksum (on the sun) gives:
====================================================================== 3247982539 52472 ./3B1-recovery-images/rfp002/rfp002.files/usr/games/klondike ======================================================================
I don't remember whether I ever ran it on the 3B1.
If you compiled it locally, then the checksum will likely be
different from what I got. I forget where I downloaded that file tree
from.
If you downloaded it in already compiled form from somewhere
else, perhaps it was corrupted in that transfer.
Good Luck,
DoN.
