- We recently upgraded from Ultrix 4.2A to Ultrix 4.3 on our DECstations.
- No problems with new kernels and devices on 3100's, 2100's, 500/125's,
- but on the 5000/25's ...
-
- We boot and everything looks great, everything starts, X comes up
- (we're running MIT X11R5 xdm and binaries with the Ultrix R4 Xws
- Server), but the keyboard and mouse are locked. No response.
-
- We think the problem is either with the kernel config, or dev's.
- If someone out there has a similar workigng configuration, we'd like to
- get a copy of the kernel config file so we can check our options.
- We're also unclear about exactly what command line arguments should
- be given to MAKEDEV to generate an appropriate set of devices for the
- 5000/25's. Apparently we need something extra, as compared to the
- other machines we manage.
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated.
