Ok, this patch causes two problems for sparc64 (so far). - Booting to single-user mode leaves /dev/console with echo turned off, apparently no matter what the underlying console device is (happened on both a serial-port-console Ultra-10 and on an Ultra-60 with Creator-3D console which is syscons based). - The Ultra-60 with Creator-3D console panic's when starting the getty on the console at the end of the boot, message is simply "panic: foo" which I'm assuming means it's tripping over one of the "KASSERT(... "foo")" sections of the drivers. Looked like your patch removed a bunch and added a few... Are either of these known problems and being worked on? Do you need anything (more info, debugging help, ???)? Am I on my own? :-) Just let me know where we go from here, I'm flexible... -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
