I've CC'd Doug White, the pertinent victim. Funny enough, I was running HEAD until early yesterday when I realized what I really wanted now was RELENG_5, but I was still locking up solid. If that patch only went in HEAD a few days ago, though, I probably missed it. I'm going to try to build a UP kernel in the meantime and see if that gets around the problem. Also, since you mention this is VM-related, I am probably triggering it so quickly during a kernel/world build because my /usr/obj is on md. :-) -- Chris Dillon - cdillon(at)wolves.k12.mo.us FreeBSD: The fastest, most open, and most stable OS on the planet - Available for IA32, IA64, AMD64, PC98, Alpha, and UltraSPARC architectures - PowerPC, ARM, MIPS, and S/390 under development - http://www.freebsd.org Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
