I have a similar issue since approximately 4 hours ago.  I also
do not use the GENERIC.hints and made some attempts to tune them...
although NOTES would lead me to believe I do not, I now need the hints for
both ata.0 and ata.1.  This is a Dell Inspiron (7500) laptop.

Relevant dmesg:
atapci0: Intel PIIX4 ATA33 controller port 0x1050-0x105f at device 7.1 on pci0
atapci0: Busmastering DMA enabled
ata0 at port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 irq 14 on isa0
ata1 at port 0x170-0x177,0x376 irq 15 on isa0
ata1-master: identify retries exceeded
ad0: 11513MB FUJITSU MHK2120AT [23392/16/63] at ata0-master BIOSPIO

N.B. My normally recognized DVD drive is not recognized.  It is the master on
the secondary controller.

Apparant lockups/process wedging.

2000-10-03 Thread Kevin M. Dulzo

I have had several lockups since I gave -current a whirl.  I
finally have a crash dump so hopefully can help isolate the issue.
These seems to be repeatable easily by rebooting without powering off (on
my one machine).  sh (pid 6) has locked, other startup proceeses spawned
from /etc/rc (named for example) have locked.  By locking, they just spin
off into lala land and chew on CPU time, as well they become uninterruptable
and prevent the machine from entering multi-user mode.

I can provide dmesg/kernel config/hints/dump to anyone but I
felt too much to dump down the list.  The 'where' output of gdb -k only
seems to show my manual break and 'panic' calls.

IPX requires 'device random'

2000-09-29 Thread Kevin M. Dulzo


I am not aware of the full status of IPX networking support in -current,
but I migrated my -stable kernel config as best I could.  Kernel compilation
completes, but linking fails due to a rand_ function not being present ( I do
not have the exact error handy, but can generate for anyone who wants it.) A
simple 'device random' to compile the support in statically rectifies the 
problem.
