--==_Exmh_2145244604P Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi, I mentioned this recently in a post to this list, along with a description of how the sound fails to resume correctly, and cannot now be kldunload'd (since sometime between early 4.3-STABLE & 4.4-RC). No-one responded to that post, so I guess no-one knows anything about it, or maybe it's already be done to death (I just re-subbed recently). IIRC, the only one of the above problems that was a issue 4.2-STABLE >= $VERSION <= 4.3-STABLE was the sound not working post-resume, and you could get around that by re-kldloading it. I'm seriously considering reverting to that version and XFree 3.3 - the combination was rock-solid and the problems could at least be worked around. You might try doing a 'halt' as opposed to 'reboot' or 'shutdown', and power-cycling when it tells you to press any key to restart - this avoids the 'fsck'. I only remember about 30% of the time, but it's still better than fsck'ing that 20Gb drive every time... As an aside, if your Omnibook is the 6000 with a Rage, you'll probably discover sooner-or-later the Rage 128 suspend-from-X issue too, which will also wedge your machine completely, with similar symptoms to the new hang-at-reboot ones. You might be interested in the patches described in: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin%2F28026 which have been addressing the latter problem for me for some time now. I do miss transparent suspend/resume though. My old 5700CTX Omnibook did that flawlessly, sound and all.
