Areas requiring immediate testing
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Issue | Status | Responsible | Description |
|-------------------+--------+---------------+---------------------------|
| | | | The 20030228 vendor |
| Fresh ACPI-CA | -- | -- | sources have been |
| import | | | imported. Further testing |
| | | | is appreciated. |
|-------------------+--------+---------------+---------------------------|
| | | | PAE support allows the |
| | | | use of up to 64GB of RAM |
| PAE support for | -- | -- | on Pentium Pro and above |
| i386 | | | systems. Virtual |
| | | | addresses are still |
| | | | constrained to 32-bits. |
|-------------------+--------+---------------+---------------------------|
| | | | The recently upgraded |
| | | | if_wi driver is more |
| | | | tuned to Prism hardware |
| | | | than to Lucent hardware, |
| if_wi problems on | | | resulting in system |
| Lucent hardware | -- | -- | lockups and poor |
| | | | performance when using |
| | | | Lucent hardware. These |
| | | | problems are believed to |
| | | | be fixed but more testing |
| | | | is welcome. |
|-------------------+--------+---------------+---------------------------|
| | | | For 5.1-RELEASE, the |
| | | | default file system type |
| | | | for newly created file |
| | | | systems is UFS2 rather |
| UFS2 as | | | than UFS1. newfs(8) and |
| installation, | -- | Robert Watson | sysinstall(8) have been |
| newfs default | | | updated to use this new |
| | | | default. Testing to make |
| | | | sure all goes well after |
| | | | the change (committed on |
| | | | April 20, 2003) is vital. |
|-------------------+--------+---------------+---------------------------|
| | | | Support for pluggable |
| | | | directory services using |
| | | | NSS, including |
| | | | adaptations of current |
| | | Jacques | directory services (local |
| NSSwitch support | -- | Vidrine | databases, NIS), and |
| | | | support for new services |
| | | | (LDAP, Active Directory, |
| | | | etc). This change has |
| | | | been committed, and |
| | | | requires broader testing. |
|-------------------+--------+---------------+---------------------------|
| | | | Kris Kennaway reports |
| | | | that he has seen several |
| | | | unique panics on the |
| Spurious alpha | | | alpha machines, but since |
| panics | -- | -- | gdb -k doesn't work on |
| | | | alpha I haven't been able |
| | | | to get more than a DDB |
| | | | traceback. No-one has |
| | | | looked into them. |
