I'd really like to | try -current on this box as it's a dual proc PPro 200. You'll probably need to use DEVFS to get booted. I can't boot -current from ahc using a standard /dev/ (or couldn't around the time DEVFS switched from being default disabled, to default enabled, so I've been running DEVFS ever since). This from either a 2940UW, or from dual onboard 7895's. So if you can get it installed, try building a new kernel with DEVFS enabled. I can't run SMP with ahc either, the machine locks up and I get messages about interrupts being off for too long (it was a while ago, but, I try an SMP build every month or so, and it still locks up (don't get to see the messages in X though)). Somtimes I do get more than 2-3 mins of uptime before it locks, and I can see that /dev/smb0 is no longer 'configured' (lmmon et. al. stop working). So if you do get it booted, be prepared for some torrid times d8) -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| | Andrew Milton The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | | ACN: 082 081 472 ABN: 83 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 | Carpe Daemon PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068 |akm@theinternet.com.au| To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
