Hi,
I have just installed the sio drivers in my kernel, but have
encountered a couple of problems. I have 2 serial ports
configured, one of which is a mouse (still works fine) and the
other is connected to a PC which can be used as a dumb terminal.
The problems start when I try to log in from the PC: after I
enter a login name the line hangs, I don't get a password prompt,
and I am left with a login process sitting there. (The setup I
have worked perfectly - apart from silo overflows - with the old
com drivers.)
Any help would be appreciated.
Here are a few lines from certain files:
--- kernel config :
device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr
device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr
--- /etc/ttys:
ttya "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" vt102 on #secure
(/dev/ttya is major 28, minor 0)
---- /etc/gettytab (standard, just std.19200 added)
g|std.19200|19200-baud:\
:sp#19200:
Geoff.
