Greetings,
I've seen threads discussing this here in the past, but nothing seems to have come out of it. So here goes...
The problem: On exit from a kdb session in linux (with the "go" command), the kernel is resumed (acpid works - i.e. the power button is the only interface left!), but the console seems to be locked in some way. _Sometimes_, hitting the enter key brigs up the shell prompt, but most of the time, nothing. I don't have another machine to use kdb on a serial console. Just tried kdb 2.1 with linux 2.4.17: still hangs. I've heard that stopping and starting gpm in the background is a workaround, but obviously, it doesn't fix anything.
I'd be grateful if anyone could provide a real fix or tell me how I should go about the kernel's tty code to find the root of this problem.
Thanks in advance.
