Outside of PAE support, do your changes to i386 still occur in head?

I don't have any of the details now and not being a dev am not sure what 
would be significant from memory ... I do remember seeing uvm fault though.

I may have to wait till the weekend to have time to check but that will 
definately be a useful option. A laptop with a serial port would be even 
better but oh well.

Thanks for that. I'll stick to head for now though until you say otherwise.

On another note, when I attempted to update userland from 4.99.39, I ran 
into libc related problems (libc.so.12 not found) and needed to unpack 
sets from an iso (thank you to wheomever decided to include raidframe 
support in the install media). Is there a way to avoid these issues? It 
has only occurred when updating a dom0 and I have another to update 
soon, all my domus updated with no problem. I'm tempted to think I did 
something stupid.

Thanks for your help.
