I'm still struggling to get back to be able to help yet- I lost all of my 5.0 alpha -current systems during the office move (two dead disk drives, if you can believe that!)- but please check in as much as you can and that gives us all something to work from to fix things- we *do* expect this all to be (barely) working for a while- that's part of the SMP effort. -matt On Thu, 5 Oct 2000, John Baldwin wrote: > > On 05-Oct-00 John Baldwin wrote: > > jhb 2000/10/05 16:09:58 PDT > > > > Log: > > - Heavyweight interrupt threads on the alpha for device I/O interrupts. > > - Make softinterrupts (SWI's) almost completely MI, and divorce them > > completely from the x86 hardware interrupt code. > > - The ihandlers array is now gone.
