I just installed 1.0 release yesterday and ran into some weird
problems...
1) Characters are missing from the screen. Ie. there are empty spaces
instead of characters, and the places change randomly if screen is
refreshed with CTRL-L. Same thing happens with GENERICAHA and my
custom kernel.
2) The machine won't reboot from NetBSD. /sbin/reboot just halts the
machine but won't reboot even though it claims to do so. This is a
real problem because the machine is remote to me and it's a pain if
it has to be rebooted in place. Even now it's down - reason unknown -
because it won't reboot by itself.
Machine configuration is:
GREEN 486DX motherboard (ALI chipset) with 486DX2/50 CPU / 256k cache
16M RAM
SMC Elite Ultra (BNC) ethernet
E-IDE VLB Multi-I/O card
Orchid Designer 8-bit VGA
Adaptec 1542C SCSI host adapter
IBM DSAA-3540 E-IDE disk
Seagate 41200N SCSI disk
Seagate 3096N SCSI disk
Any ideas?
