Hi all,

I just come back to my hppa boxes (a 712/80 and a b180) and just co the last cvs 
kernel (-pa32).
I do usual make oldconfig; make dep ; make vmlinux (on the 712).

I first rebout the model 712 with this kernel.
Everything seems to work fine:
	ksoftirqd_CPU0 does not heat any more 99% of cpu,
	Xfree(4.1.0-2) comes back with its classical grey colors (not more 
blue),
	I try also to disconect-reconect kbd and after a first test the kdb was 
not re-init (receive code (7f) ?)
	but for following test I was not able to reproduce the problem and seems 
to works also?
Nice and Great job.

Then I test this kernel on the B180 model.
Too bad: the sti console stop display at "Set default PSW W bit to 0" (an old 
well know problem) but the server start-up well.
(The last kernel I used successfully with sti console was the 2.4.9-pa14 with 
just a small adaptation of the Thomas Marteau kdb patch at the beginning of 
Sept)
(So I could not test disconnect-reconnect kbd)
Is Xfree works now on this workstation?

Thanks in advance for advice,
	Joel

PS: here is the list of packages installed on those servers. Should I have 
absolutely upgrade some once?
