Date: 22 Feb 1994 03:36:13 GMT Organization: Intel Lines: 21 Distribution: world Message-ID: <2kbujd$e5q@inews.intel.com> References: <baier.2.000933A6@risc1.ccso.cim.ch> Reply-To: mwilley@fiw206.intel.com (Mark Willey - PCD) NNTP-Posting-Host: fiw206.intel.com Keywords: syscons NetBSD 0.9 All, I've compiled a kernel for my NetBSD machine with the syscons 1.2 console driver in it. Unfortunatly, when I boot with it, the screen (I guess from the boot block) shows the different segments of the kernel (text, data, bss, dec, hex) and then, shows no more on the screen. It runs the disk for a while, like it is loading (just like loading, actually) and then suddenly reboots. I have the /etc/ttys /dev/* configs, etc correct. Does anyone think they know what might be happening? (BTW, the pccons kernel boots fine, same configuration...) Thanks! I thought it was that the console driver in the kernel takes over after it's loaded, and then is confused somehow, so it boots all the way to the login, but reboots when it can't get input from the console.
