It's interesting that you seem to have almost same machine as I have. Tyan Thunder with SCSI and ATA disks, SMP and the only difference seems to be memory size, 1GB vs. 512MB. Not counting network interfaces and such. I've also lost console after rebuild yesterday. The kernel from Nov. 29 works. Mine (console) not locks up but is simply missing from the start. Otherwise system is up and running. I don't think it's coincidence, something is broken and related to the Tyan mobos we have. -- Vallo Kallaste kalts@estpak.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
