still the same problems - since the mid 2.3.4x kernels i cant
log into my decstation 5000 - It seems the pseudo tty code
is non functional.

An telnet or "ssh" causes the connection to close if requesting a tty.

I can confirm this on my DDB 5074. Does it work on SGI boxes? If yes, it may
be
an endianness problem (both DS 5000 and DDB 5074 are little endian).

Same here on my 5k/260 but it seems to be neither an endianness nor a semaphore
problem.

I haven't nailed it down yet but with some hacks I am able to boot 2.3.99-pre2
on my 5k/133. To my surprise I *can* telnet into this box, hmmm...

On the other hand, a kernel for the /260 compiled without CONFIG_CPU_HAS_LLSB
(i.e. using the R3000 semaphore code) does not work as well.
