> Does what is stated below affect FreeBSD? now that vx has became tx with > DMA? vx has become xl (as previously noted). The issues outlined in the Sun announcement are quite valid; note that the only chipsets that are listed as having problems are the '430LX and early '450GX sets. The former are quite rare (only found on very old Pentium boards), and the latter even more so (mostly only found on very old, expensive Pentium Pro boards). There are a substantial number of chipsets *not* listed in the Sun announcement, (anything not from Intel, 430VX, 430TX, 440LX, 440BX, etc.) however I don't believe that the problem is likely to resurface. Unless you posess one of these extremely old and mouldy boards, don't worry about it. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
