No, building an ACPI enabled bsd.rd was quite easy. It took more tries to build a working bsd for the running system -- just adding ACPI and MP to the generic kernel does NOT work with -current code -- than it did to get a working bsd.rd. However, the system dies under load. Took be about 4 tries to complete a build on the box. The lack of a keyboard under ddb doesn't make debugging easy. So I turned of ddb to get a crash but forgot to relocate /var/crash. Dumb, /var wasn't big enough. Then I got a crash, but had erased the bsd.gdb that went with it. Next time I build a new kernel I'll look at the dumps. // marc
