Rob Healey sez:
After my sup on April 23rd I can no longer make a kernel that will
get past the "root on sd0a" message during boot. It's a HARD lock
to, no L1-A will get you out of it, we're talking power switch time.
Oh, THANK YOU! I get the SAME bloody result! (I thought I had gone slightly
crazy...)
And yes, I've wiped everything clean, re-installed all includes, mk,
etc. the usual cast of suspects and no difference.
I grabbed the Apr 11 binary snapshot and Apr 23 sources and just config'd
and made a kernel, so I don't have _quite_ as much room to complain (since
I Did Not Do The Right Thing [TM])...
I'm on a SS1+, 36M of memory, 525M Quantum and the April 22 sup
kernel works like a champ on the same setup.
SS1+, 24M core, 2 ST1480N disks, GX (cg6) board.

Anyone tried setting up a cg6 with RCONSOLE defined? It has precisely
the opposite result from what was probably desired :-) The scrolling mode
turns from slow to slower, as in scroll for each pixel-line. Painful.
[Yeah, so Don't Do That, I know. I took RCONSOLE out...]

I'm really a software toolsmith and a musician by trade, but nobody really
needs a software toolsmith much, and the music industry is so cutthroat
that it would probably do me in. So I do systems administration on the
side as a hobby. Funny that my hobby finds more work than either of my
professions...
