Oh, this could be a problem. OSKit-Mach doesn't have support for
extended partition. We have the parted store class, it's just not in
the standard Debian packages. Also the parted version is not yet
stable.

That would be good. The aic7xxx driver is causing problems for a lot
of people.

Get the documents at

They described Mach and Mach related things very good. They talk about
MiG in the Server Writer's Guide. Note that MiG isn't the nicest IDL
compiler and that we probably change to a better one.

Also note that oskit-users is only about the OSKit. OSKit-Mach is just
a GNU project and has nothing to do with oskit-users or Flux.

It's not my document, it's written by Kevin Kreamer.

The SMP code isn't complete AFAIK. Probably Roland knows more about
it. The bugs I fixed when trying the non-SMP version were in the
interrupt code, there might be still some bugs there when compiling
with SMP enabled.
