| |
The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly |
| |
stub, to a c file that calls an assembly stub. You need to |
| |
'rm -f posix_fadvise.* .depend' in the libc build directory to |
| |
avoid using the old assembly stub. |

| |
The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments. If you |
| |
get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel |
| |
configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details. |
| |
|
| |
20071115: |
| |
The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port |
| |
argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid |
| |
anymore. The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port |
| |
rather than the EC address port. Please update your kernel |
| |
configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details. |
| |
|
| |
20071028: |
| |
The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port. |
| |
You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have |
| |
to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the |
| |
now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct |
| |
entries for the wscons driver. See the GENERIC configuration file |
| |
for more details. |

20070913: |
| |
A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to |
| |
enumerate interfaces was fixed. The bug began to cause |
| |
problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF |
| |
implementation was repaired. From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon |
| |
could not enumerate interfaces. (These are noted because |
| |
normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not |
| |
sufficient to avoid this problem.) Ensure that both kernel |
| |
and userland are from after 20070913. |
