Dmesg: I have problems booting a recompiled kernel with FreeBSD 5.4 stable. I thought it was related to enabling smp in the kernel, but I have just rebuild kernel without smp (and rebuild world as well) and the server did not come back up. When I rebooted a recompiled kernel it stopped with calcru negative time so I tried to change kern.timecounter.hardware to i8254 in /boot/loader.conf, but it seems to ignore my hint. Doing a sysctl kern.timecounter.hardware (when booting the original kernel from the installation) shows ACPI-fast. I added CPUTYPE=3Dk8 to /etc/make.conf. I unfortunately don't have access to the console until tomorrow. regards Claus
