I have an x335 here that we were evaluating. Nice to hear the keyboard problem isn't isolated to that particular model :) I've been thinking about fiddling with the probe order to trigger some acpi code differently to see if that unlocks the keyboard. I'm not getting the panic though, although this is using IDE disks and not SCSI. I can hook up a couple to it and run a quick test, since it has a MPT chip thats unused. I'll have to look up the specs on the x345, but it sounds like its a Intel chipset or at least Intel NICs versus the 335 which is Serverworks & Broadcom. > Server runs heavy threaded application (oops web cache), up to 1000 > active threads, so I think 4.9->5.x upgrade should give performance > boost, but worring about stability. I've been running various tests on the x35 and they are all coming back fine. Still don't know what the deal is with your UFS panic. Could you provoide the panic message and maybe a backtrace? -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
