--bAmEntskrkuBymla Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Yokota-san, I am experiencing a problem with syscons and init when I have a=20 certain line in my kernel configuration file, and am hoping that you can fix the bug. My system is a recent 4-STABLE, although the problem also showed up in an April 24 4-STABLE.

When I boot with a kernel compiled with the SC_HISTORY_SIZE=3D8000 option, I observe the following: 1. No gettys are spawned. If I ssh in, I can manually start=20 gettys.=20 2. Processes remain in zombie state after exiting. This occurs whether they exit normally, or are killed with any signal. These two symptoms lead me to believe that init(8) is being adversely affected by the syscons history size option. =20 If I can be of assistance in tracking down this problem, please let me know. =20 Regards, Greg --=20 Gregory S.
