I have a generic 386 box that I have installed Interactive's 386/ix V2.0 on. I have succesfully gotten /dev/tty00 to work even though the sysadm scripts that are used for ttymgmt are not working properly. I just had to make the appropriate entries in /etc/inittab and /etc/gettydefs. When I tried to do similar things for /dev/tty01 some funny things occur... No matter how quickly I make the settings, the login prompt appears on my terminal at about one character per second, that is, it types "login:" on my terminal very slowly... But then it hangs there without receiving input... The entries in /etc/inittab and /etc/gettydefs are identical except for the label tty01 vs. tty00. Any clues as to what is causing this type of behaviour? Thanx! Micky Liu arpa: micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu uucp: ...!rutgers!columbia!eastend!m-liu bitnet: malua@cuvmc

It sounds like the tty driver not receiving an interrupt and timimg out after awhile. -- Jon Zeeff zeeff@b-tech.ann-arbor.mi.us Ann Arbor, MI mailrus!b-tech!zeeff
