But, alas, it seems this whole thing was rushed horribly. The first thing I noticed was the panic I got, in atkbd_isa_intr, which has since been fixed. But once I got my system booted, I noticed that it didn't detect my PnP modem (a quick check revealed that the PnP code was #if 0'd out). So, I tried my external modem, which worked. But in the process of downloading email, I got about 5 sio overflows. I've left my box up for a few days and rebuilt world while downloading stuff, and only gotten around one or two overflows. I looked at un #ifdef'n the PnP code, but some things seem to have changed substantially. Where is there any documentation on how to un-butcher drivers or even "properly" fix them? Sure it looks like the pcm driver works and works with the PnP code but it uses the "shims". - alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
