Hi, I have a wired problem today. I have used the 2.5.62-ac1 kernel until today, and decided to give 2.5.70 a go.
When I booted the 2.5.70 kernel, I can no longer start up an xterm, or rxvt. I am using the latest sin/unstabled distribution (upgraded fully just a while ago). Everything else works fine for me. The 2.5.62-ac1 was compiled by me manually with make dep && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install && make install With 2.5.70 I used make-kpkg from kernel-package 8.038 I compiled it on a different machine, but that other machine is also a fully upgraded today to sid/unstable. In http://www.miernik.ctnet.pl/linux/ I have put .config files for both kernel compiles, their diff and some info from reportbug on the machine that xterm fails to start (but I did NOT file a bug with it, I want to hear some comments first, maybe it's just my mistake somewhere). There are no messages in /var/log/xdm.log or XFree86.0.log when staring an xterm, and when starting a rxvt there is a Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory) in /var/log/xdm/XFree86.0.log I've done "mknod /dev/apm_bios c 10 134" but it didn't help (the Open APM failed message is still in the log). This is all on a Sony Vaio PCG-C1X notebook, and I use ACPI instead of APM. I didn't compile apm modules, but I didn't have them in 2.5.62-ac1 too, and xterm worked OK. Now when I boot the 2.5.62-ac1 kernel again, xterm works fine. When I boot 2.5.70 when I run xterm nothing happens, when I run rxvt, there is just a quick white flash on the screen, and nothing more. My windowmanager is ion-devel 0.0.20030327-2. I have tried xterm 4.2.1-6 and rxvt-beta 2.7.8-5. I am using devfs. thanks, -- Miernik [EMAIL PROTECTED]
