Subject:   Kernel Panic at boot with -CURRENT (last 2-3 days)
Message-ID:  <37BC369D.EB996B5F@rtci.com>

Background:
-----------
Work recently assigned me a Gateway GP7-500 (PIII-500mhz, 96M RAM) to
replace my older 333mhz PII that's been running FreeBSD 3.2.. Of course,
as my testing machine, I wanted to run FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT on it, and
installed the 19990806 snapshot without a problem, and then cvsupped it
to -CURRENT. 

Problem:
--------
This was on 17AUG, my kernel panic'd, I just assumed I left something
out, but then I saw that GENERIC panic'd as well, and has panic'd since
17AUG, and continues to do so with the -CURRENT snapshot of an hour
ago.  However, GENERIC from 19990806 works just fine. I decided that
after 3 days of kernel panics that it's a real problem and not just some
little -CURRENT breakage. 

I decided yesterday that maybe I need to make world first, so I did. No
dice there. And an hour ago, I also rm -Rf'd /usr/src, cvsupped to
-CURRENT, made world again, and attempted to rebuild the kernel. 

Boot Sequence: 
--------------
If you want to see dmesg.boot from the 4.0-19990806-CURRENT snapshot,
it's at http://haloblack.org/misc/dmesg.boot
