Re: Problems updating on amd64

I assume this is on amd64?
if so, this is likely the same problem that others are having,
try disabling the __HAVE_DIRECT_MAP block in arch/amd64/include/types.h.
if that makes the problem go away, could you also send me the boot output
with "options DEBUG_MEMLOAD" and "options PCI_CONFIG_DUMP" enabled?
