I hooked up a serial console and ran kdb over the
serial console. That worked fine. I could get into kdb
and return after typing "go".
But, once I entered the kdb on the serial line, the
keyboard on my NetVista locked up and the NetVista
wouldn't return until I restarted gpm from the serial
console. The keyboard lights that flash when in the
kdb stay lit once "go" is typed on the serial console.
I also tried changing keyboards. Normally I use a
Microsoft ergonomic keyboard, but I did try out a
standard keyboard.
Where is the problem occurring? Maybe I can play with
it a bit to get it to work correctly.
Thank you for your assistance.
