After a long hiatus, I built a new snapshot from -current and updated my MTX604 system. On the whole it seems more stable. At least it hasn't blown up on boot (so far) like it would do occasionally. The slide* may sometimes still hang, missing interrupts, but I haven't really characterized the situation. It's only happened once since upgrading. I was on NFS root updating the installation on the local disks. Haven't poked at SMP at all. PPC-Bug doesn't initialize the VGA device (must be CL-GD543x) unless a keyboard is attached, so the kernel reports vga* present but not configured. While under 4.99.xx, I tried attaching a monitor and keyboard (with console on com0), but wscons still couldn't cope with it. If I get space, time, and ability to set it up again, I'll poke at it some more. -- -- John D.
