I had NetBSD 4.0 running on my SS5 with no trouble, but I couldn't resist trying a shiny new version. 5.0 installed and boots without trouble, but it locks up shortly after I log in. The lockups seem to have to do with console output that includes longlines (not necessarily exceeding the number of columns) and an embedded newline. Usually the long line after the newline is truncated (but its terminating newline still scrolls), I get a shell prompt, and that's it.No panic, no messages of any sort, no response to anything but Stop-A. The machine is a pretty standard 170 MHz model, with a CG6 console.
I have a machine like that, and I have several CG6, one of them in the SS20 - I have never seen this problem. There was a problem with the cg6 driver a while ago which would result in kernel memory being scribbled over during palette changes which would later on panic the machine but that has been fixed.
Do you have a short and reliable way to reproduce this? have fun Michael -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) iQEVAwUBSm3rHcpnzkX8Yg2nAQI1Wwf9GgH1H3GPf7nyfQKdqpqNaE4aZ6BpvZqR 9EYpronlOUgpv6kOSP+DkGsu1m4didx669mms+7oP40VT0yKS4gsTcKziAgJg5Rr v+hA76F3KjoZFQdNYxmXCsRdyEXBzieLurv8iEMKyKYPAsK07+l6lHMugaGYlI6n NYvvtvdJugVbKtcIq7OujTGJ6rwYLa98oFKBqnGcFPJr3MOWmwPAVQFiN4j8CJkO iPoV7liSxJUxL3M9xFO8Iv6Z/QF1st501wWbL8fRfahAN0yncYnUbAC5zVrr8HZE DiVKRlsOX2c8fcMMbiXE9n0d7K/hpjMcfCMCVbfjQDwRsvyLexQvZQ== =eKoL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
