--==_Exmh_1402247248P Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi folks-- I've completed my changes to remove i386-isms from the supported hardware list from -CURRENT. The goal here is that every architecture's hardware list should only contain hardware that's explicitly supported for that platform; no entry should exist "by default". (Many of the NICs, SCSI controllers, etc. listed in the Alpha hardware list were left over from its i386 origins.) Source material for these changes were wilko's Alpha notes, the -alpha mailing list archives, and alpha kernel configurations I could find. I did a quick sanity check by building a (embryonic) ia64 hardware list. It's a little long for the mailing lists, so I've put a proposed diff, plus PDF and HTML renderings at: http://people.freebsd.org/~bmah/relnotes/alpha/ Comments appreciated. If there's no major problems, I should be able to get all of these (and related changes) MFC-ed in time for 4.5-RELEASE. Thanks, Bruce. --==_Exmh_1402247248P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.3.1+ 05/14/2001 iD8DBQE8GA9w2MoxcVugUsMRAoW9AKDdiLrh8Ux5F0yBElirJCnQZPbQvgCgoLdE 1K/R2Wl8Wics7XXW+cgbemE= =cjEl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1402247248P-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
