I have a PC164 at 500MHz with an xl Netcard, 3 sym controllers (2x810a 1x895) and an ide disk. Of course several scsi disks and one cdrom. Seriel console at 9600. It has 256M RAM - I tested both 4x64M and 8x32M SIMMs as I had the chance to exchange it during the test phase. AFAIK Christian has at least one sym controller and is using vga console. I don't know anything else about it. What I will try next is plugging a keyboard in and I will setting up an IDE only kernel to see if any of these make a difference. > > <...> > > > > Use the latest source. > > John had commited something related WITNESS today. > > > I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean. > > Do you have everything up to and including rev 1.108 of > src/sys/kern/kern_synch.c? And do you still panic on boot? No I have 1.105 which was the latest this morning. What I wanted to say is that 1.108 might run and it's not worth compiling with an older version. I hadn't the time to check 1.108. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
