[comp.unix.i386] Fasy & Lockups

tron1@tronsbox.UUCP (HIM) (02/12/90)

Hello all ...


I am running a system with:

     Logitech Bus Mouse
     VGA 
     8 Port intelligent Serial card
     com1: and com2: with a 16550A on com2:
     Telebit T2500
     Zoom 2400
     SCSI tape and 80mg HD
     Perstore with a 146mg and a 76mg HD

     ISC 2.0.2 with all x* updates


      Ever since I installed the FASY serial driver (patch 1) into the
system to control the 16550A I have had the following..


      At random times, the system will appear to lock up! I cannot use the
console keyboard (but it WILL take the CTRL-SYSRQ-F1 sequence! and change
VT's) .....  my local terminal is dead at these times , as is I/O to the
modems.

      The system/kernal is runningt because cron jobs will execute during
these intervals, so it is just something with the tty I/O system.

      Anyone else have a similar problem ?? I like the driver otherwise..

I'm running with the 2.05 FASY drivers here at nstar without problems.  Are
you running the drivers with the X5 ISC drivers?  I had problems with BOTH
of them in the kernel - and since replacing the X5 with the FASY - everything
is working like a charm (in all honesty, I don't use the dumb ports on
a regular basis - and neither dumb port has a 16550).

I am NOt using the X5 set , and after playing with /etc/gettydefs in an
unrelated project the problem went away !
