I think it's a little late to mess with sysinstall to that extent for 6.1. Sounds like the kind of thing that could sit in -CURRENT for months, but hardly anyone would actually be using it. It seems that the main problem with sysinstall is that hardly any of our developers use it. On to the question: how often does an SMP kernel fail to boot where a UP one might work? I remember that this used to be a problem, but if it's still "too often", can we have just the bits that probe for an mptable (or however we determine that there is more that one processor) in the UP kernel without suffering that instability? What I'm basically asking is how much of the SMP code is really required just to detect MP hardware? Ceri --=20 That must be wonderful! I don't understand it at all. -- Moliere --df+09Je9rNq3P+GE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFD2KGiocfcwTS3JF8RAqG0AJ9ssx0b1fWijd5K+f3EyZ3CKDFs5wCZAbhL zi3VxDfE1pzGw4kAKbyboZo= =Ad2X -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --df+09Je9rNq3P+GE--
