I am in the process of switching to a USB keyboard with a PS/2 to USB mouse port on the KB [freeing IRQ 12]. The keyboard works, the mouse works. My problem here is in getting past the BTX loader WITHOUT the AT keyboard attached. How would I keep BTX from freezing when it can't see the AT keyboard? Also, after over a month of not being able to buildworld with SMP-current, I managed to build a kernel from the same sources that I built my last SMP kernel with [yesterday's -current], except this time it was in uniprocessor configuration, and now I don't get the random panics which were most obvious when attempting to buildworld over the past month or so [I have tried new kernels about every week for over a month, all have had the same issues]. I have read that others seem to be having problems in SMP, and I guess I am not alone. I saved the SMP kernel, so I can still boot into it, but these seem to be random, and I could sit for a minute or for an hour before I get to a point where I can even see the panic, but if any tracebacks are needed, I do have the debugger in, assuming this problem isn't already known. jim -- ET has one helluva sense of humor!
