I compiled XFree86 4.1.0 and Enlightenment 16 out of the Ports Collection (along with various other programs, all compiled out of Ports). Installation went smoothly and I was up and running within hours. However I am getting strange ahc0 and fxp0 messages that cause the machine to respond very slowly. This starts seemingly at random (though it is more likely to occur under heavy disk usage, for instance when the daily cron jobs run) and only a reboot will fix it. At first I thought it was an issue with the ahc driver, but I have tried several versions from the CVS repository with no success. I have noticed that if I do not open any Eterm windows it seems to last longer (which I find rather strange). On a hunch, I compiled and installed KDE 2.2 and started running that. It has been running for a week with no problems. I am now testing whether running Eterm, GKRellm, or xscreensaver (the three programs I was running with Enlightenment) have any effect. Has anyone else had issues like this?
