If you weren't having any problems, feel free to experiment. Since you don't
gain much by using the machine-specific compiler optimizations for the kernel,
it is worth turning them off to see whether the resulting kernel still has the
same problem...
Will give it a shot and see what happens. So far buildworld isn't
using CPU specific optimizations with the CPUTYPE?=pentium4 as
documented so I have a feeling that will fix my problem. I actually
started having problems after rebuilding world from this source a
second time with (what I thought) were more optimized compiler
settings. Obviously not if they cause it to break. :) My kernel is
the same from when it was working from the original CVSUP and
original buildworld so I think I'll be ok with that. I'll rebuild it
to be safe anyway though. Thanks again for your help! :)
