Do you have the verbose com flag enabled or drivers for nonexistent multiport serial cards? Normally only 2 lines of output per port are printed, but you can get about 10 lines per port in some misconfigurations :-). >I agree. I propose we do provide something similar to the "write out the >config" so that you can zap your kernel to support the boot flags you >want. I have a utility for this (written by Christoph Robitschko) but haven't found it very useful. Zapping the flags at boot time is more convenient. (Today I found a limitation in userconfig(). After zapping some interrupts from -1 to active, the interrupt handlers remained as 0 and caused a panic. userconfig() neither displays nor allows zapping the interrupt handlers.) Bruce
