New kernel option CPU_ENABLE_SSE
Hello -stable:
A new kernel config option CPU_ENABLE_SSE has appeared. :)
From recent cvsup of 15 August:
Edit src/sys/i386/conf/LINT
Add delta 1.749.2.77 2001.08.15.01.23.49 peter
So far I can't find any documentation about this feature
besides the brief comment in LINT, the release-notes mention
and the cvs log message (other pointers appreciated).
Questions:
Why might someone want to include this option (or not)?
Does this option entail a cost?
Assuming CPU_ENABLE_SSE is a Good Thing, why not make it
default with the cpu I686_CPU kernel config directive
(similar to F00F_HACK auto-include with I586_CPU)?
I guess my question boils down as why not support it
automa{t,g}ically? :) Either way is ok with me; I'm just
looking for an explanation and/or documentation.
Thanks,
-kc

This looks like you are using different password hashes on linux and FreeBSD. AFAIK both systems support DES and MD5, but there may be different defaults in an out-of-the-box installation. Make sure that both systems are using the same hash.

kernel won't build from kernel sources
Before I get flamed or anything, let me first say that I don't know for sure that this is broken, but it WAS broken in 4.3-RELEASE. I have been meaning to cut a CD and see if it's still broken in 4.4-PRERELEASE but I've been simply overwhelmed lately. If nobody else gets around to it first, I'll make a concentrated effort to test this over the weekend, but I thought I point out the problem so folks could look at it beforehand, and in case I don't manage to find time for it. Here's the scoop. If you install ONLY the kernel sources (which, according to sysinstall, should allow you to compile a kernel) you are unable to build a kernel. GENERIC won't work, I even tried a super stripped down kernel and it still wouldn't compile. However, if you install FULL sources, it works just fine. I'm pointing this out because I'm guessing that it's something that is easily overlooked in testing - most testers install full source, right? So ... I don't know whether this has been fixed in 4.4-PRERELEASE, but it WAS broken in 4.3-RELEASE. If nobody else manages to verify this by Saturday, I'll make a serious effort to test and find out if it's still an issue. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-stable in the body of the message
