:Yep, I ran it exactly as you specified in your "HEADS UP" message
:to -current. It generates no output for either GENERIC or for my
:kernel config file:
:
:jkh@zippy-> perl gethints.pl < ZIPPY
I made the mistake of updating my -current tree :-(
My test box, with a pristine 5.x kernel, crashes on boot... it only
gets a few lines in, prints the amount of memory the machine has,
and BEWM. Low memory page fault.
I tried every combination of device hints files, hints config entries,
and so forth that I could think of. I tried turning off the SMP,
softupdates, and half a hundred other things and still no go.
If I turn on invarients I get an infinite DDB prompt loop.
I am going to try backing out Peter's patchset to see if that solves
the problem.
(In general, I don't think I like putting the hints in a separate
place or even a separate file... now I have two or three files I have
to deal with rather then one config file. It makes managing bunches
of config files annoying. I wish that the earlier format hadn't been
ripped out. I don't see much of an advantage of moving it into a
loader-accessible file).
