Hi!
---
I today updated my second machine with -current by doing a make reinstall.
I then compiled a new kernel and while rebooting found the following
strange behaviour of syscons:
While booting it shows up with the following:
FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT #0: Wed Oct 30 17:09:54 MET 1996
root@deadline.snafu.de:/usr/src/sys/compile/CENOTAPH
Calibrating clock(s) relative to mc146818A clock ... i8254 clock: 1193194 Hz
CPU: i486DX (486-class CPU)
real memory = 8388608 (8192K bytes)
avail memory = 6922240 (6760K bytes)
Probing for devices on the ISA bus:
sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard
But then nothing more happens on the console display, although the machine
completes to boot (As I find rather fast) and everything seems to work fine.
Only the console display remains unchanged still showing the above sc0 message.
A dmesg on this machine shows the following:
FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT #0: Wed Oct 30 17:09:54 MET 1996
root@deadline.snafu.de:/usr/src/sys/compile/CENOTAPH

avail memory = 6922240 (6760K bytes)

fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in
npx0 on motherboard
npx0: 387 emulator
Same kernel compiled with PCVT instead of syscons does not do this, but causes
me some other problems on this machine.
The machine runs a Tseng ET4000 ISA graphics board with an IBM PS2 monochrome
VGA display.
Neither does my other machine which runs an ELSA Winner 1000 board on a Sony
color graphics display show such a behaviour, nor did this machine with
FreeBSD kernels before 06/25/96.
Did someone else perhaps observe a similar behaviour? Are there any suggestions
which could change this to working again?
Any help appreciated.
Regards, Mickey
