greetings,
hmm, I've done futher tests on other computers and my situation changed a
little bit.
My current situation is:
I've installed Debian 2.2r5 on a few computers. The root file system is
mounted via NFS. I'm using the S3 XServer of the XFree 3.3.6 package. I've
generated a user called 'an' who has no password an who has a shell which
starts the XServer. Everything is ok.
But this isn't exactly what I wanted to do. I want to start the Xserver with
a runlevel link. So I linked the an's shell program to the second runlevel.
I rebooted the computer an everything behaved normal. The computer connected
during the bootprocess to the kdm server and I was able to login. So I
switched the computer of - I didn't make a shutdown. These clients are going
to be installed for newbies and they aren't able to shut it down. The NFS
root shouldn't brake, because there is no writing or reading after the
WindowManager logout. - But after the second boot, therse is no keyboard
available, but I can move the mouse without any problem. The keyboard is
dead. I couldn't switch to another console er even switch the Num Lock on or
off, but this isn't a hardware problem, because I have had keyboard access
durning the boot process.
Theory:
There is some keyboard init routine, writing something on the Harddisk, which
causes the problem.
But: I use no swap
If kill the runlevellink the the XServer by using the user an, everything
will behave normal.
Any ideas?
_--------------------------------------_
//star.c
//start the XServer
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
setuid(0);
system("/usr/bin/X11/X -query 192.168.1.46 -bpp 16 -ac"); //For the user
// system("/usr/bin/X11/X -query 192.168.1.46 -bpp 16 -ac &"); runlevel
return (0);
}
The whole root file system is avialable at:

Keep smiling
