I'll retry.
OK, I built and installed a new kernel+userland.
Most everything works, and syslogd seems to work fine (at least, it
no longer panics during startup).
HOWEVER, firefox seems to be badly broken. Attempting to open certain
pages results in never-ending-hang, and nothing ever gets rendered. I
can use the Stop-Reloading "X" button, and the "oscillating dot" load
indicator stops oscillating, but nothing ever happens. At that point,
the tab is hung and cannot load any other page, not even pages that
loaded successfully previously! I _can_ delete the tab, and opening a
new tab works.
Some of the "failing" pages are:
airnow.gov
gmail.com
www.prudential.com/login
www.myaccountviewonline.com/AccountView/Logon
Slight correction: above I said "nothing ever happens" but while I've
been composing this Email a couple of the above pages seem to have made
some progress (although none of them have finished and stopped the
"oscillating dot"). So "ever" is at least 5 minutes or longer ... :)
I don't know if the kern_event.c changes are responsible, but I haven't
seen anything else recently.
I reverted kern_event.c to rev 1.110 and firefox behaves correctly. So
it's pretty fair bet that the subsequent kern_event.c changes are the
reason for the breakage.
PR kern/55946 has been filed.
