slow serial console 5.2.1
This is really odd. I setup a 5.2.1 machine and used the serial port for console. I see it booting up just fine until it gets to the part where it checks the hard drive for fragmentationthen it SLOWS to a crawl it get's past the hard drive and then each part of the boot is word by word as if someone is typing it Once the machine is up, the network side of it FLIES and all is well...but the serial console cannot be used at all...nothing happens. Like it's jammed or stuck for example. This is on a compaq deskpro EN SFF with dual COM ports and I built a kernel that detects as much as I can on this machine. I have other FreeBSD machines that do not exhibit this and was wondering if anyone else came across this before and what they did? Thanks. -- J.D.

Do the serial settings change at all on the port? -- -- Skylar Thompson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar/ pgpwyZQ6d4Anr.pgp Description: PGP signature

Its something specific to this machine, as if I take the hard drive and toss it into an IBM machine (just for a test) it boots right up. -- J.D.
