System: NetBSD omo.urc.uninett.no 1.5ZA NetBSD 1.5ZA (OMO) #16: Wed Jan 2 10:52:47 CET 2002 jarle@omo.urc.uninett.no:/usr/src/sys/arch/sparc64/compile/OMO sparc64
Architecture: sparc64
Machine: sparc64
>Description:
For quite some time ntpd has not been able to run successfully on my sparc64
system.  It consistently dies with a SIGBUS signal.  The kernel logs
the following message:
Alignment error: pid=266 comm=ntpd dsfsr=00000000:00800001 dsfar=ffffffff:ffff91f4 isfsr=00000000:00000000 pc=10c514

	
>How-To-Repeat:
Enable ntpd on a sparc64 system.  Watch the console messages as the system
boots.  Alternatively do /usr/sbin/ntpd directly.
	
>Fix:
	
Apply patch.  For some reason I couldn't get this to work with memcpy, and
had to resort to bcopy instead.  It might have been just finger trouble
on my part, but someone might want to verify that.
