I tried working with this some time ago. I managed to eventually get a
glide2x.so that compiled, but all my newly compiled glide-based apps would crash
suddenly. There are some patches available (I am including what I have found),
that are supposed to fix this. Perhaps we should create a code bran

This one may appear harmless, but it is not. It is trivially easy to create
an alignment fault (fatal on an alpha) with the userland pciconf tool.
We must not allow this to be used by users until the kernel part i

As you probably know by now, Poul-Henning has enabled DEVFS in the GENERIC
kernel on FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT. This is a strong feature and it's great to
see it getting brought back to life. However! Many of consumers of
make_dev() have chosen their default permissions somewhat

Hi,
While porting a project from Solaris to FreeBSD 4.2, I found out that the
existing FreeBSD implementation of POSIX mutexes doesn't support sharing
mutexes between processes.
In order to get around this, I eventually did my own implementation of
mutexes that works within the uthread frame

Thanks. If i make this "MIN" config file, would anyone want
a copy? Or should I send it to the list and have it looked over
and see about submitting it for commit?

What i'm wanting to know is what is the minimal kernel (meaning what

I noticed this a while ago
I've set up a server to load an MFS root off of a small slice at the beginning of my
disks, and then start vinum and mount my real (vinumed) root slice over top of the MFS
root. This allows me to boot off mirrored drives and not have my root go away if the
drive I booted from dies. The only re
