I can't reproduce it with ttyconfig either. But here is how to reproduce it reliably with menuconfig:
make mrproper rm .config rm config.out make menuconfig down down right right [Now in cpu selection have a Y next to M686.] down to M586TSC y msg: M686=n (deduced from M586TSC) enter to dismis msg up [now at M586] y msg: M586TSC=n (deduced from M586) enter to dismis msg down [now back at M586TSC] y msg: M586=n (deduced from M586TSC) enter to dismis msg [now have a Y for both M586TSC and M686] y [nothing happens, as it is already 'y' it's expected] down [now notice colouring: M586TSC is green while M686 is grey like the rest] down [now at M686 which has the second y but is grey] y [nothing happens, as it is 'y' it's expected, but it shouldn't be 'y'] down [now at MPENTIUMIII] y msg: M586TSC=n (deduced from MPENTIUMIII) M686=n (deduced from MPENTIUMIII) enter to dismis msg [only one Y left at expected position MPENTIUMIII]
I cannot reproduce any of this using make ttyconfig I am afraid...
The above in/output was with CML2 1.1.2.
There must be something... Can you reproduce this? I gave you all keypresses I used. I can reproduce it every time.
If I press 'x' after the two 'Y' have appeared at the same time and look at the generated .config it says:
# Intel and compatible 80x86 processor types # # CONFIG_M386 is not set # CONFIG_M486 is not set # CONFIG_M586 is not set CONFIG_M586TSC=y # CONFIG_M586MMX is not set CONFIG_M686=y # CONFIG_MPENTIUMIII is not set # CONFIG_MPENTIUM4 is not set # CONFIG_MK6 is not set # CONFIG_MK7 is not set # CONFIG_MCRUSOE is not set # CONFIG_MWINCHIPC6 is not set # CONFIG_MWINCHIP2 is not set # CONFIG_MWINCHIP3D is not set # CONFIG_MCYRIXIII is not set
And config.out contains:
# Intel and compatible 80x86 processor types # CONFIG_M386=n CONFIG_M486=n CONFIG_M586=n CONFIG_M586TSC=y CONFIG_M586MMX=n CONFIG_M686=y CONFIG_MPENTIUMIII=n CONFIG_MPENTIUM4=n CONFIG_MK6=n CONFIG_MK7=n CONFIG_MCRUSOE=n CONFIG_MWINCHIPC6=n CONFIG_MWINCHIP2=n CONFIG_MWINCHIP3D=n CONFIG_MCYRIXIII=n
This shows quite cleary that the state really is messed up indeed.
Let me know if you cannot reproduce this stil...
If there is anything I can help to narrow this down let me know (I don't know any Python I am afraid). Once I have my permanent netconnection back to home (will take a few days) I can give you a ssh shell account on this system if it would be helpful. At the moment the only interaction with the world is using a floppy disk or my Windows box and the modem in my Nokia 7110... )-:
Best regards,
