Is there anything else? : :Alan I think that's all the items on my hotlist. Except ( unrelated to Alan ) I still do not like the fact that a 'flags 0x40' must be specified for the ppc to disable the extra probes that cause people's machines to crash. Even though the flag is set in GENERIC, there will be a lot of people upgrading who have their own custom kernels and will almost certainly forget to add the flag. I would much prefer if the *default* were to disable the extra probes and the flag enabled them. I just don't see the point of intentionally destroying backwards compatibility ( especially when it could lockup someone's machine ) when it is so easy to simply reverse the sense of the flag. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
