This fix is only temporary however. The clock code on the alpha needs to be restructured somewhat (most of the clock initialization moved from cpu_initclocks() to clock_attach() and using the cpu clock interrupt to trigger hardclock() during the device probe) and then this change can be un-reverted. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- 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-alpha" in the body of the message
