Unfortunately most of the email traffic related to this was off-list. There was one message here on list from Greg Miller saying his system locked up and giving a date for when the problem got introduced which was between 7.1-RC1 and 7.1-RC2 so it had been a regression that snuck in while we were in the RC phase. It turned out the MFC that brought in support for that chip was pulling in pieces of ATA from head that had been intertwined with other work and it seemed likely the MFC wasn't complete - more of the ATA pieces from head would need to be pulled in to stabilize it. Since we were already so far behind on getting 7.1 out we opted to back out the change rather than try to work out what else needed to be MFCed (which would have definitely required RC3 if we tried to do that). Sorry, it will just need to wait for 7.3 (though hopefully this plus the extra stuff needed to stabilize it will work its way into 7-STABLE in the not too distant future). -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensm...@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
