(this is the second try - because somehow my first try did not reach
the list - so please don't wonder if it appears twice)
i've now finally also reached the FreeBSD/alpha land :-)
i have an 164LX (533) with an S3V graphics card - installation of
3.3 went absolutely fine but after discovering some compiler
optimization bugs i decided to move to -current earlier than
i was planning before (i first wanted to build XFree86 on 3.3
and make it available) ... ok - also installation of the last
snapshot was working fine - also XFree86 from the ports compiled
fine (i only changed the optimizer flags from -O to nothing
after the optimizer problems with 3.3) - even KDE built fine
but now to the other part :-) ... XFree86 even runs fine - btw.
on a
vga-pci0: <S3 ViRGE DX/GX graphics accelerator> irq 3 at device 9.0 on pci0
most of the time - only if i switch from X to a console then some
time later the machine crashes with:
Nov 25 07:57:38 miranda /kernel: unexpected machine check:

Nov 25 07:57:38 miranda /kernel: giving up on 6 buffers
its absolutely reproducable - but the machine is working absolutely
stable otherwise (lots of parallel compiles etc. without problems)
does anyone have any idea what to do about this ?
are there any other patches required for XFree86 to build fine
on the alpha ? (i used the ports tree from 3.3 btw. - but i think
this does not make a difference)
the XFree86 sources include a file <sys/pci_ioctl.h> which is
usually not in /usr/include/sys (but copying it from /sys/pci
there makes it happy) - is there any clean way to solve this
for the future ?
a lot of thanks in advance
