SMC2 causes failure?

Howdy...
I'm experimenting getting SMC2 up and running as my console.
Interestingly enough, when the machine boots, it gets locked
into a page fault loop.
Has anyone else experienced this?  Has it been solved
elsewhere?
I'm using the most simple form of the SMC's, configured on
port B.

Matt

The SMC2 isn't a very good choice for a console if you intend to use
it beyond some simple boot up messages.  It is one of the first
peripherals confiscated by other CPM functions, either by the assignment
of the I/O pins to some other use or the use of the parameter ram.

Are you loading a microcode relocation patch (or was one loaded and not
removed properly) without proper driver modifications?

Since the console is the first thing used by the kernel in the IMMR space,
do you have that mapped properly?

Hi,

I'm having problems getting libraryopt doing something.
(http://libraryopt.sourceforge.net)
Is there anybody out there that have used this utility
successfully?

I have created one directory under target/usr/lib/optinfo
containing a path, index and build file. However, it doesn't
seem to get run. Enabling the debug output, it resolvs a
lot of libraries, but the build file is never executed.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
jon-erling
