Date: Sun, 01 Sep 1996 18:53:57 -0700 Organization: Next Level Communications / General Instrument Lines: 25 Message-ID: <322A3E35.41C67EA6@nlc.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: d153.pm4.sonic.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE i386) CC: ejr@nlc.com Hi all! I just upgraded from 2.1 -> 2.1.5 (from CDROM). I used the "upgrade" feature, which went smoothly, merged my /etc changes, then rebooted (still with the GENERIC kernel); all was well (I upgraded only the binaries, docs and kernel source). I then rebuilt my kernel using my 2.1 config file (which, is essentially GENERIC without some drivers and with the psm driver enabled). This time, after what appeared to be a normal re-boot, the keyboard was dead.I didn't have the ability to remotely log in to see if the OS was still running, but there were no messages in /var/log/messages to believe it wasn't. When I disabled the psm driver, everything worked again (fortunately, I still had an old serial mouse lying around :). psm worked fine for me in 2.1 (like I said, I used the same config file for 2.1.5), but appears to hang the keyboard under 2.1.5. any ideas? thanks, -eric (ejr@nlc.com)
