Hello,
I have had the exact same problem with a DEC PC 425se laptop. Its an
older machine (486) and I have tried the same things as you with the same
results. I am not all too famillar with the inner workings of init, but I
still can not figure out why the lines are reset on a reboot.
Anyone have an idea?
