I compiled serial handling as a module and have kerneld running to automatically load it when it's needed. Noww the probablem comes when I try to run minicom. The first time I run minicom It gives a /dev/cua3 no such file error and doesn't start up.
I checked /proc/modules and serial is loaded with autoclean on. I try to run minicom a second time and it boots up fine because serial is already loaded. Anyone know if this is a probablem with kerneld, or minicom, and if it is minicom would an upgrade fix it?
As a couple of side notes:
Anyone know why mcd would work but mcdx wouldn't in this setup. I have a old single speed Mitsumi CD-ROm, it's located at address 0x300, IRQ 11. Now if I use the 'mcd' mounting and cd playing works fine. But if I try to use mcdx and then try to mount I get an unable to load superblock or something similar. And if I try to run workbone the error is just I/O error. The 'Busy' light does come on for a sec in both cases.
Another probablem I'm having is in compiling dosemu. I got the newest version of dosemu. Now I got it to compile fine up until the linking process. In the linking processe iit seems unable to load any of the functions from the libslang libraries because I get a bunch of undefine function errors. I've tried both libslang elf and a.out format.ss. It should be using the elf format tho since I have an elf compiler. I've also successfully compiled the new version of procps for 2.0 with this linker so I kind of doubtful it's ld which I have version cygnus-2.6 (with BFD 2.6.0.14). gcc is version 2.7.0 ELF compiled in as the default.
I have know idea where the cause of these probablems come from so I have no idea where to start looking so any help would be very much appreciated.
