Its a bit like doing make -j 16 buildworld in the background :( [guppy 11:39] /usr/src/sys > grep Index: /tmp/kernel-0904-1304.diff | wc -l 110 Bleh! :( 132k of diff's between the last time I updated my kernel. There where changes to SMP code during that time, so I guess thats it.. I'll try and find a date closer to which its broken (ie checkout different kernel sources) --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
