test 8 does not boot.

[<fp...@zu...>]

After the cvs update yesterday, a freshly compiles -test8 kernel did
not boot. test7 boots (same config).

BTW, I saw a patch for the MFC parallel driver, is there something for
the serial driver, too?

dmesg output?

That patch was more a compile fix. For most of the stuff I can only test
if it compiles, but I can't test if it really works.

Of course not. But I have to correct myself, it boots if MOL is disabled.
But then some SCSI driver (gvp11, I suppose) reports something >57000 scsi
CD-ROMS (I have none), when its module is loaded. I reset the machine after
some minutes of scrolling messages.

I see. I did not test it, as I did not get -test8 to come up to a login shell.
