Another thing is getty running on /dev/ttyS0, I think I removed it from inittab and it appeared again. RD mode is disabled. Does this cause higher power consumption or is harmless?

I was thinking that perhaps I missed something and prelink in not that useful or something. Should I bother to create bugzilla entry for this? That's not necessary, it will most definitely be fixed in next release. Also there are other issues with the firmware.

I don't have this file. Another thing is getty running on /dev/ttyS0, I think I removed it from inittab and it appeared again. RD mode is disabled. Does this cause higher power consumption or is harmless? Nor getty. So, might be because of something you installed... - Eero ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Are you building your own kernel which is newer than the one coming with the latest release?I heard that with some of the newer versions /etc/init.d/ttyusb0 could start getty and the script needs to be updated for newer kernel. - Eero ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Own kernel from bora 3.1 repository with mmc patches from http://intr.overt.org/n800-sdhc-kernel/ and some small (non-invasive) custom hacks. The mmc patches are fairly invasive but just to the mmc layer. I don't have the device now but I'll check details. I definitely remember about having to disable it in inittab more times but that may be because I have more copies of rootfs (1 in flash + 3 on mmc) so it is sometimes hard to track changes :-) But still, getty over ttyS0 should not be enabled at all. I never played with various flasher flags on my N800 yet. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
