Unfortunately they involve fixing the locking in teh clock code and I've only done i386 and alpha so far, but the same changes need to be replicated into all the otehr arch's. Alternatively, we should have MI devices for the RTC and i8254 timers so that this code wouldn't be duplicated all over the place. *sigh* If this is a UP box you should be able to just continue from this for now. -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
