I'm updating to -current
Well, I am not a thrillseeker, I am not an adventurer, I am not a wizard
and I am not a code hacker, I am a plain user who uses NetBSD for his
own work, his own ideas, usually for Perl hacking and sometimes for
small parts of C code. So I am a whimp.
However, I like NetBSD and the development hardcode team and I decided
to gave the new 4.99.72 a shot and installed it on an USB stick. My IBM
Thinkpad X40 can boot from an USB stick and I looked into the new
version, checked out the new logging features of the filesystem and the
great acpi abilitities. The update went fine, only a some work after
etcupdate(8) has to be done.
I complained about non working ath(4) support on the current-users
mailing list of NetBSD.org and it seemed to be fixed by someone in the
meanwhile. ACPI support however failed badly and my Thinkpad won't be
able to suspend to RAM. This is not a big issue as it didn't work for me
in NetBSD-4.0 either, however that should be improved before 5.0 will
see the light. I replied to my mail on current-users about ath0. Right
now I see some messages like:
Aug 25 09:13:37 /netbsd: ath0: device timeout (txq 1, txintrperiod 5) Aug 25 09:13:43 /netbsd: ath0: device timeout (txq 1, txintrperiod 4) Aug 25 09:14:03 /netbsd: ath0: device timeout (txq 1, txintrperiod 3)Any ideas? The recompiling of all the pkgsrc things is just running. All things will be recompiled - see my post before :)
