I've tried the 0824 kernel off macbsd.com and I haven't seen any problems
with it on my P460. I even mounted a cartridge on my SyQuest EZ135 Drive
and it seemed to work fine. So far I've been running it for a few days and
I've done several concurrent makes, pushing the load up past 4 at times
without any ill-effects. Not only that but I haven't seen the filesystem
damage I've come to expect from using the regular GENERIC kernels. (the
name of the driver eludes me right now :) ) 

Allen, whatever you did to the scsi code I'm impressed this is the first
kernel besides GENERICSBC-26 that has both booted up and left my
filesystem intact after several reboots.

	And while I'm writing about kernels I've recently tried my hand at
compiling a custom kernel using the 1.2.1 source tree. I cp'd the GENERIC
file to CUSTOM did a 'config CUSTOM;cd ../compile/CUSTOM;make depend;make'
and tested it only to have it spit out Illegal Instruction at the fsck in
/etc/rc. Does anyone know what I"m doing wrong or what I can do to get a
working kernel to compile? I'd really like to get my 1.2.1 binaries synced
to a kernel, procps just doesn't compare and I'm finding it hard to live
without identd.

Thanks.
