Re: A3000T: Kernel 2.4.0-test9 working?

[Reinhard N. <rn...@gm...>]

Hi,

let's start with the good news: CVPPC console works after the recent changes
from cvs if you use the new (current) bootstrap programme.

But for any reason, the console isn't cleared properly or not at all (e. g.
when in vi and pressing Ctrl+L). Has anyone experienced such problems like
overtyping characters on console when you edit a commandline?

Internally, the typed characters were properly inserted. A Ctrl+L shows them
on screen then. If I delete characters from the line, I don't see any change
on screen. A Ctrl+L updates the screen, but 'old' characters remain on screen.
To make it clear, see the following example:

The line consists of

	abcdefghijk

Then you delete 'def' and you see on screen

	abcdefghijk

After pressing Ctrl+L you see

	abcghijkijk

While compiling the kernel, I've seen, that usually empty areas on console
show word fragments, that were output some time ago, e. g. at boot time.

After that, I've tried PCI support again. But the kernel fails booting. See
attached dmesg.txt. Am I right, that a recent X server needs PCI support?

Bye.
