Its an Intel c2d-6300 (see prev. messages) using cpufreq(4). Everything works fine (for 6 months or more) with 4BSD or ULE2/3(unpatched) scheduler. AFAIK, the problem Jeff trying to resolve is why a ULE3(+last patch) kernel, produces panics when a process touches cpufreq(4) context. We are definitely talking about Jeff's ULE3 last patch right now and not general. No other circumstance produce panic in my environment (ULE-3 unpatched included). -- Best regards, Chris mailto:dionch@freemail.gr
