It could be some driver screwing up with makedev() though one would think we'd have hit that before now. It could be something really odd relating to the size of the kernel. It could be the maxuers change resulting in kernel memory being laid out differently. *shrug* I didn't see anything in that diff that would have broken this either. Does it happen w/o devfs? I'm updating my alpha to today's current, so perhaps I'll run into this here. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
