Almost every day I csup from RELENG_x and build. The traces of RELENG_8 =
are gone, so no, unfortunately I cannot give you a uname -a from those =
days.
However, I have a build log file, and I see that I moved from RELENG_8 =
to RELENG_9 on Friday, Dec 23, 2011. I csup'd at 12:24:26 MST and =
discovered the failure at 15:41 MST.
This "nooptions NEW_PCIB" fix does seem rather tenuous if it is not =
documented. Wouldn't a better route be something like
if (ACPI < 2.0)
oldCode();
else
newCodeForNewACPI();
so that it will always work for everyone without having to build a =
special kernel? After all, I went from a working system to a hung =
system which is not the best upgrade path... ;-)
