Is this string sent by a program loaded via insmod and busybox? I had a problem with drivers loaded as modules when using busybox. The wrong strings would be sent when I did printk. It drove me nuts for days. I installed the true version of insmod and all worked fine.
Maybe it helps, Chuck >>> <Dmitriy.Zavin at infineon.com> 03/26/03 04:11PM >>> Wolfgang, What I mean by "not random" is this: I write a string to /dev/tts/1, which will cause another string to be printed on the remote console. If I repeat this 50 times, the same messed up string will appear. Thanks. I hope that answers the question. --Dima >In message ><FD90897E35ABD311AE0E0008C7E6404A07192EDE at ca02exch4.sjc.infineo >n.com> you wrote: >> >> I compiled the 2.4.7 kernel (from TimeSYS) with SCC2 and >SCC3 enabled for IO.
