2.9 & rp driver

[Terry Slattery <tcs@usna>]

I am posting this for a local site who is having problems with the
rp driver on 2.9.

System:  11/34 with rp03 emulation, tm11 emulation.
Description: Generic kernel boots and runs.  Customized kernel dies
	after sizing memory:
	ka6: 2057
	aps: 141660
	pc:  2
	ps:  0
	ovly:3
	trap type 1
	panic

The problem seems to be in the critical code of rpstrategy() [rp.c].
The (void) _spl0(); is bracketed by printf()'s and never gets to the
second one.  I suggested changing the (void) _spl5(); to
s=spl5(); and the _spl0() to splx(s) since that is what the hk
driver does.  With the former, any device priorities that were set
before the disk driver ran are forgotten.

	Does anyone know of any problems in this area?  Is anyone
running a similar configuration?

	Respond to me and I'll pass it along.  If you're feeling really
generous, call Malle Tagamets at the Univ. of Md. at Balt. (UMAB).
Phone number (301) 528-5041.
