PC164, 5.0-CURRENT. For any other kernel than GENERIC, the syscons console will not quite work right. If I copy the GENERIC configuration file to another name, say TEST, and build that kernel, it suffers from the problem, too. Sic. Symptoms: - Immediately visible: when control passes from the boot loader to the kernel, SRM's blue background remains instead of changing to black. - A getty comes up on ttyv0 (console), but you can't login there. - ttyv0 (console) keeps a blue background forever. - When the system is up, and you switch from a different ttyvX back to ttyv0, the last output is "sc0: <System console> on isa0". New kernel and syslog messages can appear, but switching to another ttyvX and back will always restore the display to the final "sc0: ..." line. - When messages go to the console, fragments with blue background show up on the current ttyvX. /me scratches head -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
