I have a machine that was cvsupp'd from 4.0-RELASE to 4-STABLE with the latest cvsup on May 21st: FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE #0: Mon May 21 09:22:22 PDT 2001 Till that cvsup, the serial console on sio0 was working well. Neither the boot-up redirection (-h) nor the tty on the serial port works after that cvsup. I'm seeing similar behaviour on another machine cvsupp'd on that date. I have the following in my kernel: device sio0 at isa? port IO_COM1 flags 0x10 irq 4 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html says it should be: device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty flags 0x10 irq 4 however the "tty" bit isn't in LINT nor documented anywhere, plus config doesn't like it. Furthermore, I have the following in /etc/ttys (unchanged from 4.0-RELEASE): ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure and I see that the getty is running on bootup: 790 ?? I 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyd0 however connecting to COM0 on the machine no longer produces a login prompt. Hints? Ideas? what changed?
