All:
With an svn update to the latest head (of yesterday 2/10 am), I added
JC's patch for the rge fix (which I committed yesterday).. and then I
started a buildworld over NFS and headed off to work.
JC had mentioned a panic way into the buildworld that he saw, I did
NOT see it.. basically my buildworld completed yesterday at about
2pm Pacific :-) [not to bad about 7 hours for a buildworld single
core].. YEAH!!!
Now I am not sure if JC's panic was something that has been fixed and
he missed it.. or still looming. (JC please do an svn update and retry
to see if you can independently recreate my result). If it panics
on you again I will have to work on trying to recreate it.
I am going to consider RMI stable at this point (unless JC cannot
reproduce my results).. and now move on to my to-do list:
- SMP (Neel has a great start here so hopefully we can use
some of his great work and jump RMI to at least 8 core
pretty quickly .. I will leave threads off until I can
figure out a nice way to fix the pcpu issue).
- Drivers yet to work
o PCI
o USB
- n64..
So basically I am going to move on and see if I can break it now that
I have it stable.. I will try to only break things inside #ifdef SMP
though ;-)
