[comp.os.minix] Virtual Console problems with 1.5.10

kemp@convex.com (Phil Kemp) (08/12/90)

I applied Gordon Irlam's 1.0 Virtual Console Patches to the 1.5.10
kernel. Followed the instructions, all the crcs checked out and made the
new boot image. First off I couldn't get init to read the ttys file with
character strings for the tty names. Changed to just the number and rebooted.

I get "login:" on the four virtual consoles and I can cycle through each one.

The problem though is that I cannot get logged in on any of the v-consoles.
I get no character echos, nothing....

I'm running Minix 1.5.10 on a 386SX, with 4 Meg memory: half dedicated
to the ram disk and the rest for process memory. Minix comes up in
protected mode.

Does anyone have an idea of how to get things going?

Thanks...
PK
