OK, other users on users-jp@jp.FreeBSD.org (a japanese list) found that sysinstall doesn't stall if VM configuration has no ATAPI CD-ROM. When I change my VM config to have SCSI CD-ROM instead, sysinstall doesn't stall, happily shows the first installation menu. I know that Mar/30/2002's 4-stable goes fine, since I've checked that it works before committing src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/devices.c rev 1.139. However, Apr/15/2002's 4-stable does not. Anybody knos what's the difference? *** P.S.: Speaking about atomic_cmpset_int mentioned by iedowse, my problem is not related to this, since 4-stable's GENERIC kernel already defines I386_CPU. -- - Makoto `MAR' Matsushita To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
