From 81cda3d9230f99e873daa973d79198df90c8f469 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Warner Losh Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2003 02:10:17 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add warning about a potential hang on boot at devd after 20030507 if you have an old kernel and a new userland. I've just committed a fix for devd to work around the kernel bug, but that goes away on May 7th. --- UPDATING | 10 ++++++++++ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+) diff --git a/UPDATING b/UPDATING index 519d27208fef..c5a80354f8ea 100644 --- a/UPDATING +++ b/UPDATING @@ -17,6 +17,16 @@ NOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT 5.0-CURRENT IS SLOW: developers choose to disable these features on build machines to maximize performance. +20030423: + A bug has been fixed in /dev/devctl which would cause devd + to hang on boot, were it not for a workaround in devd.
