Moo!
Well, I appear to have managed to get current up and running
fully now, and compiled in a new kernel, which means that
I can compile programs larger than two files without the
kernel panicing.
However, I now have run into another weird problem---certain
programs just don't work any more...
w, and ps -u generate floating exceptions.
vmstat, iostat, and swapinfo no longer work, with the following
errors
lanfear# vmstat
vmstat: dk_ndrive -1
lanfear# iostat
iostat: invalid dk_ndrive -1
lanfear# swapinfo
swapinfo: malloc: Undefined error: 0
lanfear# netstat
???
???
ie, it seems as though things that need /kmem no trabaje no
more.
This is using the GENERICAHA kernel as of yesterday afternoon,
with only the mms driver added. Commenting out the CPU_I386
and options MATH_EMULATE lines didn't help the floating
exception problems...
So, before I go and start messing around, has anybody seen
this before, and if so, any idea what I can do to fix it?
Marc 'em.
