https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D205458 --- Comment #15 from Mark Millard <markmi@dsl-only.net> --- (In reply to Justin Hibbits from comment #11) Context: PowerMac G5 so-called "Quad Core", full 16 GByte of RAM. (Not the most interesting but the only powerpc64 context I currently have access to.) I've had no problems with the classic boot hangups and crashes since I switched to your code (replacing my hack). That even includes during the kernel version bisection effort that eventually found recent locking changes in the kernel (after -r313266) lead to randomly occurring panics and hangups after booting. It is still unknown when I'll again get access to the other, older type of PowerMac G5 (a dual processor, single core per processor G5). --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
