Hi,

following up, "make world" ran & completed without error using the new kernel
on the dual P5.  I rebuilt the kernel, restored the "star" screensaver, and  
rebooted.  The panic was gone.

Only other problems reported so far is one SuperMicro P6DOF having trouble
attaching to the 8254 timer via the new code.  I'm waiting for further
info on that problem...  Keep the reports coming!
