With GENERIC, even. The digi driver sort of got left behind with the tty changes and handed out uninitialized mutexes that trip null pointer panics. Machine came back up fine, so unless you have some type of panic that screws up the system enough to disrupt booting then it should work. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
