>Release: FreeBSD 2.2.6-BETA-0310 i386
>Environment:
-Stable system with 586 CPU.
>Description:
Ever since it was introduced, the f00f hack fix in -Stable has produced
compile time warnings. This is just plain silly. Warnings like this cause unecessary
stress for inexperienced users, especially when related to bug fixes for security
problems.
I realize that there is some dissension as to what the "right" fix for the
f00f hack problem is, however since that issue is not likely to be resolved between
now and 2.2.6-Release, can we at least eliminate the warnings?
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile a -Stable kernel for a 586 machine without the "no f00f hack"
option.
>Fix:
Apply the following patch. This is from -Current, the diff between 1.288 and
1.289 of /sys/i386/i386/machdep.c by Eivind. A -Stable kernel with this patch
compiles and runs with no problem
Thanks,
Doug
