for HAMMER, we recommend that you install UFS on the virtual
hard drive and not HAMMER.

+* **GUI ISO (2.4.0 only)** installs a bad /boot/beastie.4th file which will
cause a HAMMER install on the HD boot to fail. You can fix
this by booting from the DVD again, logging in as root,
mounting /dev/ad0s1a /mnt (or da0s1a or whatever the hard
Users who insist on using HAMMER on a small drive anyway should at least
'chflags nohistory /usr/obj /var/crash'.
-## Known Issues
-
-* Occasional panic after burning a CD. This is a known issue
- which we hope to address in 2.4.1.
-* Possible issues with kqueue operations getting stuck (w/ postfix).
- This issue is being investigated.
-* 64-bit kernel is unable to probe USB mass storage devices. This is a
- known issue which we hope to address in 2.4.1.
+## Issues in 2.4.0 which are fixed in 2.4.1
+
+* Issues with kqueue and SIGIO not working properly on pipes
+ have been fixed. This issue affected numerous programs
+ including postfix, dovecot, and others, which use pipes and
+ kqueue for I/O notification.
+* 64-bit kernels were unable to probe USB mass storage devices.
+* cdrecord sometimes paniced after burning completed.
+* Kernel failed to finish CAM probes during boot.
+ (Note that some drivers may still register their CAM busses too
+ late, and this problem has not yet been tracked down).
+* Manual pages specified with relative paths which include a
+ directory component did not work.
+* Misc. setuid/setgid issues with exec and [f]chdir, operations
+ sometimes failed.
+* Installer's beastie.4th (boot loader issues) have been corrected.
+* Boot loader now contains real-mode fixes which may improve booting
+ from USB memory sticks.
+* tcsh updated (fixes incorrect default autologout settings)
+* Added support for VIA Nano and VIA C7
+* Added support for probing OpenBSD slices
+* Misc manual page improvements.
+
+People can checkout the release branch and compile up a new kernel
+at any time, or wait for the incremental release.
