I'm looking specifically for the exact time when the kernel > was built Almost every day I csup from RELENG_x and build. The traces of RELENG_8 = are gone, so no, unfortunately I cannot give you a uname -a from those = days. However, I have a build log file, and I see that I moved from RELENG_8 = to RELENG_9 on Friday, Dec 23, 2011. I csup'd at 12:24:26 MST and = discovered the failure at 15:41 MST. This "nooptions NEW_PCIB" fix does seem rather tenuous if it is not = documented. Wouldn't a better route be something like if (ACPI < 2.0) oldCode(); else newCodeForNewACPI(); so that it will always work for everyone without having to build a = special kernel? After all, I went from a working system to a hung = system which is not the best upgrade path... ;-) Dan
