Hi, I build a new kernel for one of my machines that don't have a screen or keyboard this weekend. It panic during scattach inside one of the bcopy's. This didn't happen with a kernel build about six weeks ago. I don't build kernels for that machine very often so I only picked it up this weekend. What I actualy want to know is, shouldn't the scprobe routine determine if there is a screen? At the moment the probe will never fail. It will print a message if it has problems with the keyboard, but even then it will not fail. At the moment for a workaround I just fail the scprobe routine if the keyboard probe fails. -- John Hay -- jhay@mikom.csir.co.za
