| Hello,
|
| I have just aquired an Acer Travelmate 212TX laptop which has a nice
panic
| with the 5.2.1-R install CD ( I don't have a hard disk yet, it should be
| with me soon ).
|
| Anyway, to cut a long story short how would I go about trying to get a
| patch into current to fix this issue? I have found a patch that stops it
| from panicing at
|
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2003-December/016587.html .
|
| I have just spent 2 days trying to get a patched 5.2.1 kernel on the mini
| install CD, I finally got one working (make release was broken) by
copying
| all the files from the cd and using mkisofs to remake the ISO but with a
| new kernel + modules. To my suprise it didn't panic anymore and I
actually
| got to the installer screen (well, in safe mode anyway.. normal acpi and
| stuff is an entirely different issue!)
|
| It would be really great if this patch could be in 5.3 or something. It
| looks to me like the line is supposed to have been put there anyway, but
| someone just forgot or something?
|
| Thanks very much!

Oh, not sure if it matters but I didn't use patch to apply this patch, I
just typed the line into agp_ali.c myself :o)
