Just to -stable, as the OP in that forum post's thread was well advised. > In reference to this FreeBSD forums post: > > http://forums.freebsd.org/showpost.php?p=231135&postcount=4 > > Would it be a good time to remove those from GENERIC since the > hardware they are for is becoming so seriously outdated? > > There's always an option to load those drivers as modules if needed. Hardware isn't 'outdated' because you don't use it; FreeBSD has always been thankfully pretty conservative on the planned obsolescence front. If there's a problem with cbb or pccard in a GENERIC kernel that's using neither that disturbs mfi(4), then shouldn't it be identified and fixed, rather than dropping devices from GENERIC to workaround the problem? There's next to no information in that thread to identify the issue/s. cheers, Ian _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
