Also, note that the problem is what the web site is REPORTING for the dates on messages, and not that the messages themselves are missing. I recently filed PR Docs/19507 on this. It wouldn't surprise me if someone else has filed a PR on it. The problem is that most articles which REALLY have a date in 2000 are REPORTED as having the same date as the most recent article in the search list which is not in year 2000. If you click on one of the articles, the article itself is fine. It's just the listing for it which is coming up wrong.

Just to warn you. Are you using any optimizations other than "-O -pipe"? There's a problem since Peter's recent changes that cause it to bomb out with anything more exotic.

You can also use randomdev_load="YES" in your /boot/loader.conf BTW, I can't boot new kernel at all - kernel and modules loaded OK, but kernel immediately hangs at boot stage.

Of course, in order to check in the fix, I first need to build a new kernel and test it. But once running the new kernel, I can't check in the fix thanks to the broken ssh. So now I'm now building another kernel with RANDOMDEV, even though that this is the solution was not at all obvious from reading UPDATING. Luckily I happened to have seen -current in the past couple of days. Trying to search -current on the web site for the appropriate keywords yeilded only articles from the years 1997 through 1999, nothing in 2000, and there is no way to sort by date anyway. I'm not trying to emit blame or anything, just pointing out that anything that makes it harder for developers to build & test new kernels and/or ssh changes and fixes into freefall can lead to exponentially increasing problems and/or delays. -Archie ___ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
