As a matter of fact, I finished the kernel port this evening (believe
it or not). I've tested panic() and exception cases, and both seem
to work reasonably well.
If you want a copy of the beta patch to this point, let me know. I
can't just send it on the list (it's larger than acceptable according
to the mailer daemon on oss.sgi.com), and I can't put it on oss.sgi.com
until tomorrow, as 'ssh' isn't working from my home system.
Regardless, I have something I can send out as soon as someone wants
it. I've tested it on IDE disks, and it seems to work wonderfully. :)
As soon as tomorrow after 11:00PST rolls around, I'll have a copy on
oss.sgi.com in the download directory. Until then, if you're in
desperate need, I'm more than willing to E-mail private copies to
those that need one.
