5.1-RELEASE TODO

Tue May 13 10:42:35 PDT 2003

Hello there,

this might be the wrong way or place, but i want to state again (as i
already stated in my thread about data corruption), that in my opinion it
would be not a good idea to make a release of freebsd with the GENERIC
kernel config as it is.

not having the options

options           DISABLE_PSE
options           DISABLE_PG_G

in the kernel config caused me data corruption which took hours of testing
(and bothering people on this list) to figure out. apparently this problem
is widespread and not only relevant to exotic fringe-case systems.

regards,

Heiko
