The patch does not work for me (Intel SCB2 motherboard, SMP, 2xP3Xeon). It stops in much the same place as before, but apparently gives "Privileged instruction fault" this time (I do not have console access to this machine, so I have to ask someone to look at the screen when it fails to boot). Reverting to 1.385.2.25 gives a working kernel. > Also suggestions for better solution would be welcome. > I'll commit equivalent fix to CURRENT within couple of days, then MFC > another couple of days later. Perhaps you should back out the 1.135.2.26 commit to -stable until the problem is fixed. > Index: machdep.c > =================================================================== > RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/sys/i386/i386/machdep.c,v > retrieving revision 1.385.2.26 > diff -u -r1.385.2.26 machdep.c > --- machdep.c 2 Nov 2002 05:07:18 -0000 1.385.2.26 > +++ machdep.c 8 Nov 2002 15:30:06 -0000 >......
