The mcpcia and dwlpx PCI chipsets are not confirmed to work. It does work ok on the Miata here that I have to test on though. There is still some bogusness in the alpha interrupt code where it grabs Giant when it probably shouldn't be. Also, at least one person on the -alpha list has reported that his SCSI bus isn't probing succesfully with this, but I figure the chances of getting this fixed are increased with the code under more eyes. Also, having this in the tree should make keeping the ia64 tree in sync easier as well as the ia64 port borrows heavily from the alpha port atm. -- 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 cvs-all" in the body of the message
