Subject: [BUG] serial ioctl not returning with 2.4.3
Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 14:25:38 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010411142538.A27290@hapablap.dyn.dhs.org> (raw)

When I try to start "agetty" on my serial line, agetty hangs in an
ioctl; according to strace, this ioctl is "SNDCTL_TMR_STOP".  This
doesn't sound right, but that ioctl is defined as _IO('T', 3) if that
makes any more sense.

The reason that this must be a kernel bug is because agetty works
flawlessly in an identically-configured 2.4.2 kernel, and even a 2.4.3
kernel with the debugging tokens defined.  I'd be glad to give any help
that I could.
