I took a deep breath and installed 2.3.1 this afternoon. It went much
easier than I expected.
I had a look at what files were going to be installed. Mostly there
was nothing to worry about. The only files that I had to protect were
the Makefile, master and dfile.wini in /usr/linkkit/cf and the library
lib3 in /usr/linkkit and my current boot system, /system5.
Once the install was complete, I had only to integrate my modes to
Makefile, and to add my custom devices to master and dfile.wini. Then
I made a new kernal to use these custom devices and rebooted.
Nothing to it.
I've got only one problem with the new system. Getty will not start up
on my modem. I did have getty starting on ttyM0, but now it will not
come up. My /etc/inittab entry is
t0:23:respawn:/etc/getty ttyM0 1200R
getty is respawned over and over and over again. I am able to send data
out on this line, that is the line this news item was sent out on.
Getty is new.
I think I like the new console driver. It will take a bit of use before
I'm sure I like it, but I think it will be nice.
