Is it broke? In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Well, I punted and went to -current, and it seems to be just fine. I think something is broke in -stable. Dropping back to a kernel from around Mar 15th works fine as well, but 3/23 and 4/11 both fail miserably. A 4/11 Generic doesn't work either, but a -RELEASE one works. So I don't think it's a hardware problem, I think it's broken code. Anyway, it doesn't really matter, my -current is working, and I'm happy. Thanks to those of you that offered advice/solutions.
