Just a few things I learned today while running my build of the kernel:
* You can use the latest toolset (bootstrap_cmds, etc.) to build a
previous version of the kernel successfully. I built 201.42.3 (OS X
10.1.5) without problems.
* You can add IOLog statements to virtually any piece of kernel code to
get nice info in system.log.
* If you've got a panic that's stopping you before the system.log output
is recorded, you can comment out the panic, replace it with an IOLog of
"Kernel would have paniced here because..." and then you can see all of
the system.log that led up to the panic.
* I'm SO glad the source for this OS is available!
Later,
-Chris
