I upgraded one of our machines to slink from hamm. The upgrade went
well. But after the upgrade I keep getting segmentation violations when
I run minicom. We use minicom to talk to another local machine through
the serial port. It was working fine before the upgrade. I am running
kernal 2.0.34.
When I start up minicom, it is fine until I give it one keystroke, upon
which it segfaults. Any help will be much appreciated. Will a kernel
upgrade be helpful. If so what kernel should I upgrade to?
Here is the relevant kernel messages cut and pasted from dmesg:
