I have done a quick googling and a search of tha mail archives with no
results.
I am running current that is maybe 2 weeks old. I tried to install
postgresql and found I needed more semaphores. So I checked the docs
for postgresql and found these items. I cut and paste these defaults
and uppon bootup of a new kernel I can't mount my hardrive.
options SHMMAXPGS=4096
options SHMSEG=256
options SEMMNI=256
options SEMMNS=512
options SEMMNU=256
options SEMMAP=256
I haven't tried this yet, would I also need this with the other stuff?
#increases shared mem from 4mb to 32mb
options "SHMALL=8192"
options "SHMMAX=\(SHMALL*PAGE_SIZE\)"
At first the output from booting says I have a maxtor at 133mbs and al
is good. If I don't have a cd in the drive my cdrom is forced to pio
mode, but now even with a cd I get pio mode. Then it adds some new
stuff where dma fails and it retries to probe the cd. It retries
several times before it asks me for the root drive to mount. I then
booted my old kernel to write this. Does anyone know the cause of
this? I will write up a pr if this is something new.
