OK It's not a bug. Works fine under the real RH6.2. "Never mind..." |
The pilot-xfer program fails with the following message: [mjs@yankee ~]: pilot-xfer --backup . Unable to bind to port '/dev/pilot'. (Please see 'man pilot-xfer' or 'pilot-xfer --help' for information on setting the port). This occurs when running with a kernel compiled from 2.2.14-1.5.0 sources. The problem does *not* occur when running with the stock 6.1 kernel-2.2.12-20. /dev/pilot is a symbolic link to /dev/ttyS2, which is in turn crw------- 1 mjs tty 4, 66 Mar 14 16:42 /dev/ttyS2 The problem also occurs when /dev/pilot is a device in its own right with the same configuration. The userid running pilot-xfer is mjs. Note that both the kernel and the pilot-link-0.9.3-2 RPM were rebuilt on a stock (updated) RH6.1 system. In particular, I have stock RH6.1 libraries, including glibc-2.1.2-11, and egcs-1.1.2-24. The problem also occurs with the stock RH6.1 pilot-link RPM, which is why I tried the upgrade.
