Yokota-san,

I am experiencing a problem with syscons and init when I have a=20
certain line in my kernel configuration file, and am hoping that
you can fix the bug.  My system is a recent 4-STABLE, although
the problem also showed up in an April 24 4-STABLE.  I do not=20
have a -CURRENT box. =20

Here is a diff between a working kernel configuration file (GEN)
and a non-working one (GEN.not):

-options                SC_HISTORY_SIZE=3D8000
+#options               SC_HISTORY_SIZE=3D8000

I have not tested with other SC_HISTORY_SIZE values.

When I boot with a kernel compiled with the SC_HISTORY_SIZE=3D8000
option, I observe the following:

1. No gettys are spawned.  If I ssh in, I can manually start=20
gettys.=20

2. Processes remain in zombie state after exiting.  This occurs
whether they exit normally, or are killed with any signal.

These two symptoms lead me to believe that init(8) is being
adversely affected by the syscons history size option. =20

If I can be of assistance in tracking down this problem, please
let me know. =20

Regards,

Greg
