This is a "heads up" about some relatively major changes to the sun3
kernel sources. Here is the summary from the CHANGES file:
sun3: Reworked the autoconfiguration design to allow control
over the order of attachment calls on mainbus and obio.
This should allow the eventual removal of several hacks
to get some devices configured before autoconfig. Also,
adapted to (and took advantage of) the new attachment
interface by "carving up" the "ie" and "si" drivers.
Added drivers for the interrupt register (intreg) and
the memory error register (memerr). [gwr 960326]
Several file were added, removed, or renamed, so after your SUP
gets the above chagnes, you will need to re-run:
/usr/sbin/config XXX
make depend ; make
Oh yes, if anyone has a machine with bad RAM I would be interested
in hearing what the new "memerr" driver does with it...
