I am not seeing this (haven't been able to get that far).

I have seen something vm_faultish.  The kernel I built today (from
this morning's tar files) is pretty much unusable.  Sounds like
there's still some corrupted files in the vm section. :-)

My kernel is new; my tools are a few days old.  I can't get the new
kernel to run long enough to find the other problem.

I did see something else *very* weird, though.  The new kernel also
corrupted my hostname.  I know the file it pulled it out of was
correct.  Here's what it looked like:

[michaelv@stingray]~> hexdump -c /etc/hostname
0000000   s   t   i   n   g   r   a   y   .   c   c   .   i   a   s  t
0000010   a   t   e   .   e   d   u  \n
0000018

[michaelv@stingray *c]~> echo `hostname` | hexdump -c
                   ^(weird really funky non-printable PC-graphchar here)
0000000   s   t   i   n   g   r   a   y 377  \v   c   .   i   a   s   t
0000010   a   t   e   .   e   d   u  \n                                
0000018

If I manually did 'hostname stingray.cc.iastate.edu' a second time, it
was fixed.  The first time was set by the netstart script.  It works
with my last kernel built about two weeks ago.

On the plus side, Charles' latest wd driver code seems to be handling
startup of my old IDE drives without nearly as much whining from the
kernel.
