Uppercase to lowercase is a one bit change, so it's possible that it's faulty memory. Most of the other changes seem to be like that: >>> isa0: <ISA$bus> on isab0 space == 0x20, dollar == 0x24 >>> p#i0: <UHCI USB controlle2> at 31,2 irq 9 c == 0x63, # == 0x23 etc... -- Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
