Is there anybody out there who can try to run a straight -current
on a _real_ i386 class CPU ?
Ie, not a i486, not a Cyrix, not an AMD but a genuine Intel i386DX
(SX would be but too suicidal to be informative).
I am also not interested in people running heavily modified source
trees, it is -current I am interested in. (It's OK to fiddle the
kernel config and hints of course.)
If somebody has the time and inclination, I have a number of questions
I would like answers to:
1. Does -current even boot on that vintage of hardware any more ?
2. Does it survive a kernel (GENERIC) build ?
2a. Does the clock track wall-clock time correctly while doing so ?
3. Does it survive a buildworld ?
3a. Does the clock track wall-clock time correctly while doing so ?
4. Can ntpd run against some random (but decent) NTP server steer
the clock ?
1) If the machine is idle
2) During buildworld.
Please notice if
a) ntpd resorts to clock steps
b) ntpd exits
c) ntpd core dumps
Thanks in advance!
