Subject:   Deadlock/Disk wedge on yesterday's SMP

  I have been trying to complete a make world on yesterday's current
with a smp kernel.  The machine seems to wedge on disk activity.
It compiles for 10-20 minutes and then no longer touches the disks.  The
machine is still ping-able and you can switch vty's and a "top" is still
running on one vty.  The top program still responds to keystrokes but I
can't login on another vty or over the network.

  I have completed two make worlds on friday's current with a unikernel and
had wanted to try the worldstone on a smp kernel for benchmarking.  So I
beleive the new hardware is fine.  The hardware is a Tyan Tomcat IV with
two identical stepping P5-200 MMX's and 32 MB EDO with / and /usr on a NEC 1.7
GB IDE disk on wdc0,wd0 DMA 32 bit multiblock 16 and /usr/obj symlinked to
/spare on a WDC 850 MB disk on wdc1,wd2 32bit multiblock 16 mounted
sync,noatime.  Additional hardware, one floppy, one diamond stealth trio64
card and a torisan/sanyo atapi cdrom mounted as slave with the WDC 850 drive
on the
secondary ide controller and finally an ed1 ethernet card.  The config file is
basically SMP-GENERIC with all the scsi and other nonpresent hardware 
ripped out.

  I do have DDB compiled in but don't know how to break into it from the
keyboard.  The running "top" shows  top as running, two make's in select
and everything else in wait.
