12-Current panics on boot (didn't a week ago.)

[Andrew Reilly]

So, r331464 crashes in the same place, on my system.  r331064 still boots OK.  I'll keep searching.

One week ago there was a change to randomdev to poll for signals every so often, as a defence against very large reads.  That wouldn't have introduced a race somewhere,
or left things in an unexpected state, perhaps?  That change (r331070) by cem@ is just a few revisions after the one that is working for me.  I'll start looking there...

Cheers,

Andrew

I'll try your r331464: if that works that leaves only four or five revisions.  Of course the breakage could be hardware specific.
