Sender: owner-freebsd-ia64@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Ok, I've got ski up and running, and the kernel panics very early in boot because it tries to initialize a mutex for a zalloc zone far too early. The problem is due to pmap_bootstrap() using a zbootinit()'d zone. Now, I could just hack around this if we need that zalloc zone, but pmap_bootstrap has this comment above the code in question: /* * We need some PVs to cope with pmap_kenter() calls prior to * pmap_init(). This is all a bit flaky and needs to be * rethought, probably by avoiding the zone allocator * entirely. */ so I'm wondering if it might not be better to try and fix it as the comment suggests instead? -- John Baldwin -- 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 freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message
