Can you verify that for me? It didn't seem to help: Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]... Entering /boot/kernel/kernel at 0xfffffc000033eb50... halted CPU 0 halt code = 2 kernel stack not valid halt PC = fffffc000058020c boot failure P00>>> I did use today's kernel source for the test, phk had committed something to specfs I figured I should try to pick up as part of the test. If you think I should back off to an older kernel source tree let me know. I did notice there are some other things that might be acting like devices that might be touched before the console. It looked like the eprom device did get some attention as part of the mega patches, but are there others that might be in that category? -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
