OK 2.4.11 with gcc-2.96-85, kgcc and gcc 3.0.0 all exhibit this behaviour. I
updated to 2.4.13-pre1 and (with gcc-2.96-85, which I always use because I'm
too forgetful to edit the Makefile :-) it still does the same. 2.4.9 is fine.
Now this isn't some supa-dupa weirdo non-standard machine. It's an IDE
workstation/toy server with an Asus K7V motherboard.
I can't seem to get the machine to drop into KDB. Pressing what I think is
pause on my keyboard prints ^]]P. (I've put kdb=on in the append section.
Pointers to dumb idiots guide to installing KDB and using it appreciated :-)
If I comment out (!) the mount -a -t nonfs,smbfs,ncpfs line in rc.sysinit,
the machine carries on past where it would have hung (albeit without var
...). If I add a line like 'action $"Echo pointless crap: " /bin/true'
straight after the mount point it gets echo'd. But somewhere (either the
mount itself) or one of the trivial 'rm' s that happen afterwards cause the
machine to sit there quietly doing nothing, so the second swapon never gets
reached.
(I don't have quotacheck, quotaon, accton, .unconfigured, etc).
I've read the Changes file, and everything seems to be the right version, or
newer.
The only thing I can think is that I've hit a stupid cvs bug and I'm not
getting the right version of one of the files (Like I'm really going to check
that..) since others can run and build fine.
