I have a problem while trying to enable the serial console. I just change the line: ([mhettwer@ares] <~>)$ cat /etc/ttys |grep ttyd0 ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure from "off" to "on" and issue a "kill -HUP 1" to initalise the serial console. After doing the SIGHUP I get a hardlock. Unfortunatly the Kernel doesn't break into the debugger... it's just frozen ... no input possible, and of course, no serial console available either. Some info's about the System I use: ([mhettwer@ares] <~>)$ uname -a FreeBSD ares.meganet.local 5.3-BETA3 FreeBSD 5.3-BETA3 #0: Mon Sep 6 14:58:58 CEST 2004 mhettwer@ares.meganet.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Of course, GENERIC runs with all debugging options, nothing changed by myself. The only way to boot my laptop (Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook C-1020) is with acpi, and it looks good. See my dmesg output at http://www.unixoid.de/freebsd/dmesg-5.3-BETA3.txt Same problem occurs when doing a "tip com1" as root. Hardlock, no debugging prompt :-/ Well, is there any way to get more information ? By the way: The rest of 5.3-BETA3 is doing a great job. No problems in daily work yet. Unluckily I desperatly need my serial port. Any help greatly appreciated! Best Regards and keep up the good work, Marian
