Wong) Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1993 05:56:03 GMT Sender: news@latcs1.lat.oz.au (news) Organization: Comp Sci, La Trobe Uni, Australia Nntp-Posting-Host: ipc4.lat.oz.au Lines: 29 I have my COM3 nd COM4 firstly configured on IRQ5 and IRQ2, and rebuilding the kernel, and it works all fine. Until I realized that I have actually installed Chris' COM driver for IRQ sharing for COM1/COM3, and COM2/COM4. So I reedit my config file and change the IRQ of COM3 back to IRQ2 and COM4 back to IRQ 3, and recompiled my kernel. This time when rebooted, here are the 2 different cases that happen : 1) It starts up all of the daemons, and hangs at the date and time line (the last line seen before login prompt get printed) for a few seconds and reboot itself again! The login prompt has never been able to see the light of the day. 2) After 1 happens, the system reboots itself, this time fixing up some of the filesystem inconistencies, and reboot again (normal). When it boots up aain this time, again it hangs at the line reporting the current date and time, without the login prompt ever appear again (as in 1). I tried rebulding the kernel for a few times, and try out the reboot procedures, and it all happens as what have been outlned above. So I have got not choice to put myself back to the old kernel. I wonder can anyone help out please ? Many many thanks in advance and email replies appreciated. -- - wongm@latcs1.lat.oz.au
