The latest is > alpha-sys-diff-200898.gz. I managed to do this last night, modulo an edit to ioconf.c that was necessary to get it to compile (several tables were double-defined), and was well chuffed to see my very first alpha kernel compile and link! Then it blew up before probing the ISA devices, like the one you sent me. :-) I've finally got a suitable cable for a serial console - does all of that work the same way on the ALPHA? And how do you get the thing to drop into gdb-remote mode when it falls over this quickly? There's no chance to get into the debugger pre-emptively to type "gdb" for the next trap. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
