Better. Much better, but maybe you want to share in:
1. When booting, serial driver as a module, no insmod, so kernled works:
/dev/cua%d: No such device... displays numbers 0-31!
All real serial devices work (only cua{0,1,2} :-)
2. Also when booting, a single complaint about char-major-4 missing.
Bjorn, in endless patience taught me that it needs /etc/conf.modules
alias. The major char device is ttyS. Is this what I need? Where do I
find this list? Must be a kernel table someplace that associates majors,
minors and device names (A'la SVR4 /etc/conf/mdevice).
3. apmd[332] no apm_bios driver in /proc/devices. However, running it a few
minutes later is successful.
4. The middle button of my Logitech mouse disappeared. If you see it, tell
it to call home please. Was last seen prior to booting 1.3.95. Confirmed
three times. None of the old tricks (ctl-alt-f1 and back, unplug and
re-plug) work.
More Serious Ones:
4. I see 4 consecutive processes doing:
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/11.3.95/fs/nfs.o
I do not think they are children of kerneld as kerneld is pid 277 or so
and they are 94-97 or so. I do insmod early in rc, but in a different
syntax, and only one in one script.
What is strange is that they are just stuck there. Removing them brings
no immediate disaster.
5. After few hours of oeration the system goes googoo; first nfs mounts
time out although the server gets the request and sends back the syslog
notification. Then cat /proc/foo hangs while cat/proc/bar does not.
PS never returns. Then Proc Table Overflow. ctl-alt-del will not
shutdown; no more processes in init level 6 and cannot load command
interpreter. No way to shutdown. No way to see who breeds uncontrollaly.
I suspect nfs, only because it misbehaves and there is a mount -a on
another machine that re-tries all the time.
