Wonderful. Thanks for letting me know this, Pascal.
Yes, I should be providing an L2-enabled kernel for the R4XXX folks.
Providing the GENERIC kernels with L2 cache disables allows the
kernel to be used for both R4XX and R5K cpu machines.
I will work this into the release process.
Until then, I've built and provided L2-enabled kernels in the
snapshot tree. The kernels provided are:
netbsd-GENERIC-L2.gz
netbsd.ecoff-GENERIC-L2.gz
And for other gentle readers, these L2 kernels will not work on R5K
cpu machines.
and are located in the snapshot:
ftp.mrynet.com:/pub/NetBSD/arch/sgimips/INDY/snapshot-20020409/binary/kernel
Thanks again,
