Hello,
It seems that my serial console stops transmitting data to
my terminal program.
I am using minicom to communicate with the freebsd box
through a serial cable.
The system is FreeBSD 4.7, dual 233Mhz CPU with 128Meg RAM.
I can boot the machine and see the data come up on the
serial console and then user the serial console. However
sometimes, like today I was uisng ping6 it ping the ip address 4
times then stopped and the serial console was 'seemingly'
unresponsive.
As it turns out the data that I type in the serial console
is geting transmitted to the server, but the data is not showing
up in my serial program.
If I log out and log back in I can ssh to the machine and
cat the auth.log and see that the serial console login went
though okay, but I cannot see what I am typing on the serial
console.
First has anyone else see this behavior? Second, if so how
did you resolve it or did you?
Oh and someone once mentioned using echo Control-O and that
did not work. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Joe
