Generally if you don't get a response I wouldn't bother CVSUPing so often as it probably means no one has had the time to look at it yet. That being said I'll dig in the archives and see if any of your panics have been reported by other people and if I've seen any activity regarding solutions. > > So I'm wondering if this is the right place to report panics and traces? > Or are these better placed at hackers@?

Not to sound rude, but if you feel RELENG-5 isn't stable enough you can always run RELENG-4 until you feel the RELENG-5 branch meets your expectations. Unless you have some reasons you want to go to 5. -- Ryan Sommers ryans@gamersimpact.com
