I have a patch here that removes await/asleep from the kernel API. http://people.freebsd.org/~alfred/noasleep.diff Matt Dillon implemented alseep/await quite some time ago and the only thing that's using it is ata. In order to clean up some of the schduler and vm system I'm removing support for it. Peter Wemm and I suspect that ata doesn't need it. Right now I'm running several make -j128 buildworlds and buildkernels with this patch to catch any ata problems. Now would be a good time to test this delta for stability reasons. I plan on applying the delta within a few days. thanks, -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
