No. This is the TLB problem we all keep talking about. Bosko had some code that might have worked around the problem (as opposed to fixing it). Ask if he'll send you the patches (you must be running -current). I just got the most recent IA-32 manuals from Intel in the mail, and they still don't seem to be aware of the issue. Without actually recreating a copy of the GPD (it's just 8K, anyway), you really can't fix the problem; you have to do strange things to CR3 and CR4 to fix it, since there is a chicken-and-egg problem once you are in protected mode. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
