Well, I ran into one that's got me stumped. Last nite, I powered my machine (Tandy 5000, a PS2 Mod 80 clone) off for the first time in about 4 weeks. I added a second IBM Dual Async board to the system, bringing the total number of serial boards in my machine to 5 (1 on the motherboard and 2 each on 2 Async boards). I rebooted SCO ODT (1.0.1, I don't beleive that SCO has v1.1 available yet for Microchannel) and came up fine in single user. The hardware report now says that I have 1 serial devices, 1 with 1 port and the other with 4 ports. When I try to take it multiuser, it rattles the disk for a second or two and then hangs. The console will echo characters, but no processing occurs. The only way out that I've discovered is a power off reboot. At first, I suspected that init was getting hung up on the new serial board, so I pulled out all the serial devices but /dev/tty1a - still no luck. Another strange thing also happened, my system name has been changed back to 'scosysv', and uname -S doesn't seem to 'stick' accross a reboot. Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated. I'm gonna try pulling the extra board out tonite and see if that solves the problem at least temporarily. -- Clay Jackson - N7QNM US WEST NewVector Group, Inc clayj@cjsysv.wa.com | ...uunet!uswnvg!cjackso
