I have found a patch that stops it | from panicing at | http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2003-December/016587.html . | | I have just spent 2 days trying to get a patched 5.2.1 kernel on the mini | install CD, I finally got one working (make release was broken) by copying | all the files from the cd and using mkisofs to remake the ISO but with a | new kernel + modules. To my suprise it didn't panic anymore and I actually | got to the installer screen (well, in safe mode anyway.. normal acpi and | stuff is an entirely different issue!) | | It would be really great if this patch could be in 5.3 or something. It | looks to me like the line is supposed to have been put there anyway, but | someone just forgot or something? | | Thanks very much! Oh, not sure if it matters but I didn't use patch to apply this patch, I just typed the line into agp_ali.c myself :o) | | | _______________________________________________ | freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list | http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current | To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
