Have rebooted 18 times today. Looks like another is on the way. I've had the darndest problems with a pure elf kernel (first time I've tried that). It seems that when I'd do a "shutdown -r" as myself (a member of group "operator") that /etc/nologin was not being deleted. Proceeded to update /etc/rc* for proper /modules loading. That didn't help. Think when I changed out /etc/login.conf things got fixed. Am thinking as soon as "make buildworld" is fixed again it is time for a clean disk reinstall. BTW: not only is the above option not in GENERIC, its not in LINT either. Looked there (actually for other things) before posting. Grep just found it for me in /usr/src/sys/pci/ncr.c. You mean this is all there was to it and I've been without a blinking light all this time? You mean all they had to do was smack one tiny tiny little bit? Doesn't seem worth and ifdef. :-) Can only assume somebody knows more than I do and this is really important to keep from breaking something. #ifdef SCSI_NCR_SYMBIOS_COMPAT if (!(np->rv_gpcntl & 0x01)) np->features |= FE_LED0; #if 0 /* Not safe enough without NVRAM support or user settable option */ if (!(INB(nc_gpreg) & 0x08)) np->features |= FE_DIFF; #endif #endif /* SCSI_NCR_SYMBIOS_COMPAT */ -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
