Hello, I've got an older laptop that I attempted to install 12 on w/o success. Well, it installed. But was unusable. Typing anything at the console frequently doesn't output on the screen w/o tapping one of the arrow keys. But doing that causes other problems. As I can't really use the output. :( I suspected an interrupt storm of some type. But really can't say for sure. a vmstat -i seems to show unusually high numbers for irq1: atkbd0 often ~1/3rd the number for CPU0. I can easily realize all this during the install process from the install media. So it's easy to test. This is a i386 based Pentium M. FreeBSD 10.4-STABLE runs like a dream. But I'm going to need to move forward at some point, and I'd like that some point to be now. :) Any thoughts on how I might discover /what/ change was made from 10.4-->11* to cause this? It has a trackpad. Should that make any difference. Thanks! --Chris
