Luckily my floppy drive works regardless of the error message. That's why I wonder about what exactly the error message is saying. I'm not sure if it's absolutely harmless, or if it's hinting at some bigger problem. One thing to note is that I'm not able to use my USB mouse when I'm using an SMP kernel. I've noticed that Josef Karthauser is working on busdma for USB. Hopefully this will correct my USB SMP issue. With SMP I also have a hang. A shutdown or restart will get stuck waiting for vnlru to stop, or sometimes it will get down to the ACPI prompt. If I hit the power button at that point it will continue. Is this possibly some kind of ACPI SMP timing issue? Pete... To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
