It seems to happen regardless of the "X Hz differs from default of Y Hz by more than 1%" messages that I get every now and then on boot. - Fix PCI bus probing - The first time I boot FreeBSD it fails to detect my PCI bus and hence my NCR SCSI card and hence my SCSI HDDs. On the second boot (which I have put into /etc/rc) it probes the PCI bus ALWAYS ! - Fix ATAPI cdrom driver - Didn't lock the machine at 2.1R - Used to find itself too... didn't have to make it STATIC. Prolly wasn't a LKM then though. -- ======================================================================== @ Work: Matthew.Thyer@dsto.defence.gov.au @ Play: thyerm@satech.net.au ======================================================================== "If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some larger space in which our Universe is imbedded. In answer to the question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time." E. P.
