Hi!
What is the status of acpidock(4)? From source-changes@ etc I cannot tell
if it's considered usable or highly experimental.
Still the latter, unfortunately.
Ok. Would bug reports be useful or is it even too early for that? I do
not remember exactly but I think it was not even a controlled panic(9)
but rather some "invalid opcode" or so...
I just got my ultrabase X6 but the kernel panics both on "live" insertion
and booting while docked. (Kernel is GENERIC.MP + acpidock + bt*). I have
not tried with GENERIC{,.MP} yet.
GENERIC{,.MP} worked for me booting while docked with an x61s, so it
might be acpidock that's killing it. Try with GENERIC.
Which laptop is this?
The very same model. X61s.
Ok, but without acpidock then, will obsd cope with attaching and
detaching the laptop while running, or do I risk breaking things
(assuming I unmount all file systems etc before detaching)?
(Just want to know it is not a totally insane thing to do before I try
it) :-)
BTW, does anyone know if the serial port on the Ultrabase X6 is usable for
console redirection? It'd be easier to provide a decent bug report if so,
but I guess it could be some usb-to-serial thingie inside...
Yes, it is. I've used it for that many a time.
Ok, great!
