Hi,

I'm having a bit of trouble installing Xenix 286 r. 2.2.3 on a client's
286 AT compatible.  (HW details: DTK motherboard, 8 Mb RAM, EGA display,
5 1/4" floppy, Seagate 4096 (80 Mb) MFM drive, QIC-02/24 tape drive.)

The symptoms are that after performing a simple, full installation, Xenix's
clock runs without being initialized by the hardware clock.  Worse, lpsched
is not running, even after doing a "mkdev lp".  I can get the clock to work
ok by running the command "date `/etc/setclock`", but after I run
/usr/lib/lpsched, the scheduler is STILL NOT RUNNING.  Nowhere during the
installation or subsequent use of the system do I receive a single error
message!

What is really strange about this is that I have previously installed the
same release of Xenix (from the exact same release disks, no less) on this
machine with no problem.  As far as I can tell, I am performing the exact
same method of installation now as I did before.

Help!  What is going on???

(please respond by email, if possible, and use the address below.)
