/etc/system/config/nophoton gets deleted

Running 6.0.2 SE.

I have touched /etc/system/config/nophoton so that I won’t boot into
photon.

I’m working on a network driver and every now and then things get
screwed up. When they do, the next time I boot the system tried to go
into photon. Not only that but i’ve also noticed that the crttrap
file get screwed up because it prompts me to select a graphics mode.
I.E. it looses the previously set grphics mode.

What might be clobbering these files?
Nothing I’m doing is even looking at /etc/system/config/nophoton
let alone has any code to delete/unlink/remove it.

When you selected graphics mode, I believe there was check box on that window “Always boot into
graphical mode” or something like. If you didn’t uncheck it, it deleted your nophoton file.

I believe that you only get that prompt on the initial graphics setup screen.
I.E. When RTP is first installed.

Does anyone else want to take a stab at
WHO OR WHAT IS DELETING MY /etc/system/config/nophoton ?

Just shooting in the dark:
is that file made on a Nonvolatile Real Disk (not a ramdisk)

i believe that you get that prompt if there is no file /etc/system/config/graphics-modes.
you could delete that file somehow, or just launch ‘crttrap clear’ and right after that ‘ph’.

Yes. Not a RAM disk.

It does stay across boots most of the time. It only goes away when
my io-net driver crashes.

The good news is that I am done making changes to io-net, for now.
