Hi, does anyone know of a slab allocator implementation for BSD ? Linux now supports a slab allocator in the kernel for efficient allocation and deallocation of memory objects. - Mohit P.S. more info on slab allocator can be obtained from the USENIX 1994 paper: http://www.usen

Yes, that's what I mean. I've already gotten the remote kernel debugging started. What I want to do is at some point after running for a while, from the remote gdb terminal "break" into the running kernel. In other systems, I was able to do this by entering a ^c from the gdb terminal. It doesn

There used to be some very strange code in the lnc driver that relied on the ISA probe for the original PCnet-PCI device failing, then probed it in the if_lnc_pci stub. Your card shouldn't really be identified as a VL-Bus one when it is a PCI device, so maybe the lnc probe has been broken by the

Hi the problem is, that you have the same subnet (indicated by the netmask) on two interfaces. The best solution to the problem is taking two different subnets, e.g. 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 on lo0 and 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 on fxp0. It is also possible to use the 192.168.0 n
