I thought it might be beneficial to 'make world' every night on this machine to see if any problems arise so I could report them. So, tonight (3/31) I took the following steps. 1. cvsup RELENG_4 (around 6pm EST) 2. make buildworld 3. make installworld 4. build and install a new kernel 5. mergemaster 6. reboot During the kernel's hardware detection the system just reboots. No messages, just reboots. I rebooted with the kernel.GENERIC (4.0-RC4) and that did boot ok. I rebuild and installed the GENERIC kernel. Same problem. I genuinely don't even know how to proceed in troubleshooting this problem. Yesterday's kernel (3/30) didn't have the problem. The detection goes so fast I can't really tell where it's crapping out, the nearest I can tell is it's either during or right after it detects ed0 (PCI NE2000 card). Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, -Chris P.S. No optimizations were used for this build.
