--==_Exmh_1194463126_83616P Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline After an update of my laptop to 7-BETA2 on Nov. 4, I can no longer run on battery. If I boot on battery, everything is normal until devd is started. It immediately fires off /etc/rc.d/power_profile which sets my system to C4. Once this happens, the system almost freezes. It takes about 15 seconds to move on the ipfw and, after the initial "Flushed all rules" it pauses for another 20-30 seconds and loads rules by ones and twos before finally totally freezing. Ctrl-C will cause a several more lines to come out, but it never makes it to multiuser mode. If I plug it in, it often eventually switches back to C1 and runs normally. Pulling the plug again switches back to C4 and everything locks up. I eventually gave up and power cycled the system. (Ugh!) It may be an issue with output to the console as, if it unfreezes at all, it usually spits out several lines to the console at once before another pause. This has not been a problem until recently. My last known working kernel was from back on about Oct. 15, although I think one from back on Oct 29 also worked. (Just not sure that I had it on battery.) Any ideas on where to look for this and how to debug? If forces me to leave the CX state at HIGHEST (C1) all the time with kills the battery. -- R.
