- Hi, I would like to thank you all for helping me figure out this
- TCP/IP stuff as well as the (root@eagles) part. I'm not sure I've
- got TCP/IP working properly, as ftp and telnet don't work; maybe because
- I'm not on a network, right? Anyway, I got both working by
- actually upgrading the kernel. That's what I did actually when I asked
- everyone, but like me, being stupid and dumb, I kinda skipped the
- part where I need to do a 'make Image' or 'cat Image > /dev/fd0' or
- whatever, and so, nothing stayed.
-
- Well, that's all done, and I've got my new kernel working, with the
- correct display and my /etc/inet/rc.net doesn't choke anymore.
-
- HOWEVER, problems do exist. Specifically, the keyboard, the display
- mode and 'ps'.
-
- 1) The keyboard's punctuation -,',,,<,>,/,?,"...etc are ALL
- screwed up. When I press the - key, a + pops up. The pipe (|)
- no longer exists(well, I can't seem to find it right now. The
- key THAT'S supposed to output |, now outputs '*' (when I want
- the pipe) and ' when I want the backslash....
-
- What on earth is going on???
-
- 2) I remembered someone saying about this topic a week or so ago,
- or even longer. When the system boots, and I press return
- to see the SVGA modes available, it chucks me directly into
- a fixed mode, instead of listing the modes available. How
- can I correct this minor annoyance?
-
- 3) The ps command does not work properly. I'm getting errors
- when I execute a 'ps -a'. I get the following error after
- it displays the usual ps header.
-
- PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
- error reading kmem (offset = 0x4010000)
-
- The permission for /dev/kmem is (now) correct, but it still
- gives me that error. What have I done wrong? After compiling
- the new kernel, and booted it, I compiled getty_ps source
- again, just to make sure. But it screwed up. Anyone got
- any ideas? Well besides giving up, or jumping off the nearest
- bridge.. :)
-
- Thanks again, for all the help everyone has given me...
