Hi,

The scorecard:

all systems seem to be working right now except:

 1: systems booting off of (E)IDE disks.

 2: >2 CPU systems.

 3: frequent sig11/12 faults on all systems.

Please confirm/refute items 1 & 2 ASAP!

Status:

 1: I think that I broke something when I merged the global used
    for INTerrupt masking by the 8259s (imen) and the global
    used by the APIC_IO code (IOApicMask).  But I am clueless as to what.
    I just rebuilt a non APIC_IO kernel that works well.  But I have
    no IDE disk so I have no way of testing that aspect of it.

 2: Peter commited a fix for this today but we haven't heard back from
    any >2 CPU testers yet.

 3: we really want to get on this one, honest, I swear, no kidding...
    get those success/failure reports in so we can feel comfortable
    proceeding!
