I'm trying to port a mainly-working but not merged 2.4 kernel to 2.6 (yes, it's the dreaded AmigaOne). Lots of things wrong with it, but at the moment I'm lost on how to find a way closer to where this particular breakage occurs:
if I run `less' in a console (TERM=linux) everything is fine until I try to page-up. Then the keyboard seems to be dead. The 'command line' shows ESC[5~ I can sync, umount and boot with the magic-sysrq tree [ but not get help on magic-sysrq ]. If I'm loggied in over ssh, the system is still up (e.g. running top), and the less process shows it is in DW state, but trying to do anything interesting in the ssh session, even 'man lsof', locks. Strangely, less works fine in an xterm - correcting the garbled screen after leaving X can wait for the moment ;-) I know this isn't a kernel development list, but I figured I might as well ask here first for pointers. So far, all I can tell from strace on a working 2.4 kernel is that it sends escape sequences to stdout. Vim seems to work correctly, but I think symlinking less to view isn't really the right sort of fix. Any ideas ?
