What does your inittab like look like? Serial console should be well off with a simpler getty too. We're using the following (from getty_ps package, though) and it works fine: S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS0 DT38400 vt102 You are right. getty_ps works fine. BUT mgetty did not work: S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -p "TILLBUEBCK" -r -x 9 -s 9600 ttyS0 However, also agetty and getty_ps worked fine: S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS0 9600 ansi -or- S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS0 DT9600 ansi I recompiled mgetty from scratch and did not made a success. So I assume, that mgetty itself is broken and that this is no RHAT bug. +-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | | dr. tilmann bubeck think@work it consulting | | | professional services | | think | cell.: +49 172 8842972 widmaierstrasse 58 | | @work | fax : +49 711 7227734 70567 stuttgart | | | email: bubeck http://www.think-at-work.de | +-------+ -------------------------------------------------------------+ could you please test the newest version from ftp://wallace.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS again and report your results ? If you don't want to upgrade your system you may also just recompile the src.rpm and try that. I would try the new package, but I could not log into the server you've given: [root@localhost ~bubeck/download]# ftp wallace.redhat.com Connected to wallace.redhat.com. 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection ftp> bye [root@localhost ~bubeck/download]# Should I try mgetty-1.1.26-3.src.rpm from a rawhide mirror instead? Why couldn't I use rawhide directly? It's asking for a password. Where can I get one? I tried the unchanged mgetty-1.1.25-2 of RH 7.1 and also mgetty-1.1.26-3 of rawhide, and.... both worked! There was no problem at all, everything worked fine. Thanks for any help! Till |
