Hello,
I am running Esix Ref C. Everything ran fine, till i sold my VGA monitor
and hooked up a Sony CPD1402E multisync. Esix started up, ran. The next
day booting Esix didn't work any more. Init complained with
co: command respawning too rapidly: getty (or similar)
the same for all the virtual terminals. But all the error messages still
go to the console. Next thing i tried was too boot from the boot floppy and do
a 'quick recovery'. That copied Unix, passwd, et al. to xx.SAV and copied
the defaults from the floppy. That didn't help either. What can be wrong?
Maybe the getty is broken, or the VGA console device driver. What can
i do? I have valuable software (not backed up, of course) in my account.
The hardware is: 386/25Mhz+cache, 150MB ESDI+UltraStore Controller,
VGA wonder VGA card with 512k - The Gateway 2000 system.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks
Martin
