I am trying to find following problem for more then 15 days.
I am running 2.0.5 with boca16 card for a while. Kernel has been
compiled for sio4 to sio19.
All the ttyd* device for sio4(ttyd4) to sio14(ttyde) works fine.
I needed to add more modem so I added the following entry in the
"/etc/ttys" file and made the "ttydf" and "ttydg" devices.
ttydf "/usr/libexec/getty tp.57600" vt100 on secure
ttydg "/usr/libexec/getty tp.57600" vt100 on secure
After that I did kill -1 1.
For all the ports that are working I get following when I do
ps -ax | grep ttyd
18285 ?? IW 0:00.04 /usr/libexec/getty tp.57600 ttydd (This works fine)
20460 ?? I 0:00.04 /usr/libexec/getty tp.57600 ttyd7 (This works fine)
18744 da Ss+ 1:49.51 /usr/sbin/ppp -direct ttyda(Works fine currently in use)
Following doesnot work and they appear to be in use by somebody. It does not
have the "??" entry as all the other port which are waiting for the incomming
connection. When I try to log in on these ports whole system just hangs.
170 df IWs+ 0:00.05 /usr/libexec/getty tp.57600 ttydf
^^^
171 dg IWs+ 0:00.06 /usr/libexec/getty tp.57600 ttydg
^^^^
Why this ports have "df" and "dg" instead of "??" even when they are
not being used? This device are at same address as something else?
sio15 is at address 0x1d8 - 0x1df
sio16 is at address 0x1e0 - 0x1e7
Any suggestions?
