This information includes security advisories, as well as news relating to the software or documentation that could affect its operation or usability. An up-to-date version of this document should always be consulted before installing this version of &os;. This errata document for &os; will be maintained until the release of &os; &release.next;. Introduction This errata document contains late-breaking news about &os; Before installing this version, it is important to consult this document to learn about any post-release discoveries or problems that may already have been found and fixed. Any version of this errata document actually distributed with the release (for example, on a CDROM distribution) will be out of date by definition, but other copies are kept updated on the Internet and should be consulted as the current errata for this release. These other copies of the errata are located at , plus any sites which keep up-to-date mirrors of this location. Source and binary snapshots of &os; &release.branch; also contain up-to-date copies of this document (as of the time of the snapshot). For a list of all &os; CERT security advisories, see or .

HTT support is now enabled by default on SMP-capable kernels; as a result, the HTT kernel option is unnecessary and has been removed. The extra logical CPUs are always started so that they can handle interrupts, but are prevented from executing user processes by default. To enable the logical CPUs, change the value of the machdep.hlt_logical_cpus &man.sysctl.8; variable from 1 to 0. This value can also be set from the loader as a tunable of the same name. This behavior is now identical to &os; 5.X. (29 Oct 2003) Some of the packages contained in the first CD-ROM depend on different versions of the OpenLDAP packages, which cannot co-exist on the same host. One manifestation of this problem is that it is not possible to install both the x11/gnome2 and x11/kde3 packages. (30 Oct 2003) It appears that the crypto distribution is required for correct functioning of the &os; base system. At the very least, the libraries contained in the crypto distribution are required for &man.pkg.add.1;. (30 Oct 2003) There are known cases of fairly-recent i386 machines with BIOSes that do not support booting from emulation mode El Torito CDROMs. This prevents booting from the &os; &release.current; CDROMs. As a workaround, download the floppy disk images, use them to boot the machine into &man.sysinstall.8;, and then do a CDROM install. This problem does not seem to be wide-spread as of this writing. &os; 5.X uses non-emulation El Torito booting on its CDROM releases by default. These, of course, cannot be booted on very old i386 machines that only support emulation mode. (10 Nov 2003) An update was made to the xterm entry in the &man.termcap.5; database which, among other things, removed the (already deprecated) bs backspacing capability. The &man.hack.6; game appears to depend on this capability and hence fails when run from inside a window with a terminal type of xterm. (10 Nov 2003) Tagged queueing in the &man.ata.4; driver is broken and appears to cause kernel panics. ]]>
