Many problems with PCMCIA/CF reader in -current.

2003-08-27 Thread Jaye Mathisen

I get it on my newsserver pretty much every night when expire runs. 12 IDE drives on 3 Promise controllers. I was just actually about to replace the MB, thinking it was just something freaky or unstable. I will try the patch. On Mon, 4 Sep 2000, Poul-Henning Kamp wrote: I'm looking for

Wasn't there just a big to-do wrt to 4.0 (then -current), about the right way to do things is to install a new kernel, then build the world? I seem to remember Rod championing this method. (Had something to do with some syscall interface changing). On Sat, 27 May 2000, Warner Losh wrote: In

Can the bootloader create a file or set a flag in the bootblocks?
