Will be greatly appreciated any suggestions/answers to the following
problems/questions. Thank you.
1° Running certain applications (X, open) causes an oops. Somebody already
reported the same problem related to the function init_dev in tty_io.c.
2° A start-up script initialising serial ports gets a message saying
'/dev/ttySx: Operation not supported by device'.
3° When I reboot or shut down, I see now the message :
swapoff: /dev/xxx: Invalid argument
although at boot, the partition seems to be normally recognized.
Shouldn't they (2°, 3°) work as before ?
4° How do I have to operate with block devices ? The partitions mounted at
boot appear as /devfs/hdax ( I have one IDE hd installed.). I can at
least unmount one of them, using /devfs/hdax. As to removable mdedia
such as cdroms, ide floppy disks for which I compiled drivers as module,
I seem to have to use those new long names. Or are there more smart ways ?
