Tribblix updated last month, so shouldn't OmniOS CE, and definitely its bloody edition (bloody is very old now but I know is updated more regularly)

oh, I see the blood version was updated last month at least... that took a long time

excellent. How often is that update if I fix my installation and update that with a package manager or something?

darwin: is there a specific fix/change you were looking for? each distro generally has their own release schedules that aren't related to each other... although sometimes certain upstream changes may prompt the distros to all make a update at (more or less) the same time

(e.g. a critical security fix)

hrm..

anyone seen issues with qemu's ahci emulation?

(in particular for CD/DVD devices)

also.. is there a way to set the screen size (specifically # lines) in kmdb?

darwin - bloody is built and published every week or two unless it's being frozen ready for a stable release.

hrm..

anyone familiar with the AHCI specification? :)

github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blo…ta/adapters/ahci/ahci.c#L9477-L9479 -- looking at section 6.2 of the AHCI spec, it's not explicit about what the comment is assuming (and at least with the AHCI emulation scale computing's HV uses -- which I think is just KVM+qemu like everything else linux based), that doesn't appear to be true

jbk: I don't think you can affect rows/columns/etc in kmdb

unless your terminal matches one of the builtin ones perhaps

but full disclosure, I never even figured out how to switch it when it defaults to vt100 on the early console

thanks

Do any of you know whether in general we pre-set PP_REF when establishing pages?

that is, does the act of establishing a map count as a reference, for our purposes?
