- I've probably missed a patch somewhere along the way, and would
- appreciate it if someone could help me out.
-
- I just finished installing the latest SLS (the one currently on TSX-11)
- on my system. Having done this, I decided I wanted to be on 0.99.2, so
- I grabbed the sources for that, ran configure, and built it. Being a
- clever duck, I decided not to overwrite the 0.99 linux image, and
- installed a new LILO entry for the new kernel. Boy was I glad.
-
- The 0.99.2 kernel comes up, but keyboard input is totally ignored. Can't
- log in or nuttin!
-
- It has to be something I did, since the bootable rootdisk versions of
- 0.99.2 work fine.
-
- I'm on a 486/25 portable with IDE drive.
-
- The autoconf file contains:
-
- CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD 1
- CONFIG_TCPIP 1
- CONFIG_MAX_16M 1
- CONFIG_M486 1
- CONFIG_MINIX_FS 1
- CONFIG_EXT_FS 1
- CONFIG_MSDOS_FS 1
- CONFIG_PROC_FS 1
- CONFIG_AUTO_IRQ 1
- CONFIG_PSMOUSE 1
-
- I also edited three lines in the Makefile:
-
- ROOT_DEV = /dev/hda1
- KEYBOARD = -DKBD_US -DKBDFLAGS=0
- SVGA_MODE= -DSVGA_MODE=NORMAL_VGA
-
- Otherwise, it's the out-of-the-box 0.99.2 tar image.
-
- Any help would be appreciated.
