From: Poul-Henning Kamp Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 23:13:18 +0100 Message-ID: <29201.1046297598@critter.freebsd.dk> Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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! -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
