Hi all,
I have been give the task of adding a gui console to a DEC
3000-400s. This machine formerly had just a vt220 attached to the serial
port. I have installed a PMAGB-B card in tc1 and have done the necessary
set console command to use the keyboard and screen. When I boot with the
standard kernel I am told the following:
Error: unable to install generic console.
Error: kernel not configured for graphics console
Attempting to switch to alternate console...
At this point it goes back to the vt220. Figuring that this was a kernel
config problem (pretty obvious, no?) I booted with genvmunix. Problem
solved...almost. The system worked with the graphics console in text
mode. I picked this out of the messages file:
Sep 16 14:05:13 psycho vmunix: fb0 at tc0 slot 1
So, I added the following to the /sys/conf/HOSTNAME file:
controller fb0 at tc0 slot 1 vector fbint
When I rebuilt the kernel I had the following problem:
*** WARNING ***
An error has occurred during system configuration. A partial listing
of the error log file (./errs) follows:
Error: Undefined:
lk201_keyboard
vsxxx_mouse
vsxxx_mouse_closure

nmon_types
monitor_type
ws_define_screen

wsopen
wsclose
wsioctl
wsstop
wsselect
*** Exit 1 (ignored)
chmod 755 a.out
chmod: a.out: No such file or directory
*** Exit 4
Stop.
Any ideas? I will summerize.
