I've got a partial patch yesterday, but since i nuked my src tree today on my way to CVS-current, i've lost this one. :-/ Basically, you need to re#define all the scXXXX entries to pcXXXX in case NSC == 0 && NVT > 0. Note that the resulting kernel still experienced the ``can login in the console VT only once'' symptom. I'm working on this, but don't have anything applicable yet. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
