Please report your findings with send-pr. Ad-Hoc testing is unlikely to find problems; if you are expecting a certain class of problems, it's best to treat them, up front. There are a number of systems right now with "broken" INT 0x12 implementations which will not boot at all right now (they panic almost immediately). I think you are going to end up with a lot of bug reports not related to the problems you are trying to prevent/address. 8-(. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
