In addition to the network drivers Luoqi provided PAE patches for, I have also backported -current's if_xl driver; it is available at: http://www.silby.com/pae/ Even if you're not running Luoqi's PAE patch, I'd be interested in hearing how it works for you. Thanks, Mike "Silby" Silbersack

Hi, everyone, I've ported Jake Burkholder's PAE support from -current to the 4.x branch. This has been scheduled to go into the coming 4.9 release. You can get the most recent set of patch files from http://people.freebsd.org/~luoqi/pae-4. If you are interested and have a machine with over 4GB memory, please give it a try. You may also try it just for fun, even if you don't have 4GB of memory. Please direct any questions or problem reports to luoqi@freebsd.org. Thanks -lq

As decided by the RE team, I'm going to commit the PAE backport to 4-stable this Friday. This includes the VM infrastruture related portion of the patch set I posted earlier (http://people.freebsd.org/~luoqi/pae-4/diff.pae). Some device drivers will also be updated in the coming weeks to allow them to work with the PAE enabled. -lq

I'm trying to use the Dell/Redhat CLI to manage a pair of mirrored disks in a Dell PowerEdge 2650 but I get: FASTCMD> open afa0 Executing: open "afa0" Command Error: <The driver could not execute the requested IOCTL SENDFIB, 22=Invalid argument.> I have "options AAC_COMPAT_LINUX" in the kernel config and dmesg shows: aac0: <Dell PERC 3/Di> mem

If you start to experience problems with ata devices, please direct your report this way. Thanks -lq

since august 8th, 2003 the kernel on my i386 pentiumIII won't compile. the problem arises in locore.s with the definition of the constants $PAGE_SHIFT and $PTESHIFT used in `shr' and `shl' instructions within the macros `fillkpt' and `fillkptphys'. i've tried to cvsup(1) RELENG_4 and RELENG_4_8 every day for over a week now, but kernel builds (as part of a buildworld)
