I compiled a driver (gcc 2.95.3) and booted the system. It displayed: .000041.0000 done R At this point, nothing was shown in minicom. Then, I accidentally hit some miscellaneous keys on the client keyboard. The result was that it started to display the rest of the information on the screen (and in minicom) as follows: .000041.0000 done ROM segment 0x0800 length 0x8000 reloc 0x00020000 I was able to observe the following: 1) Even the non-serial debugging version displayed this behavior. 2) If I hit the (return) enter key it displayed the text 2 letters at a time. 3) If I hit the number keypad enter key it displayed the text 4 letters at a time. 4) It would start to beep after hitting the key a number of times. 5) It froze after it finished displaying that first line. (Or at least did not display anything else in either minicom of on the screen. I am not sure if any of this information is useful, but I guess it is more than we knew earlier. Tim |
