I'm just about to revert to FreeBSD i386 this week-end as i can't put up with the constant amd64 crashes anymore... It's not just the twa driver ; the NFS server often start to take 100% of CPU time and various network utilities crashes once a week. I didn't notice much speed increase when I moved from i386 to amd64 so it's not going to be too much of an issue to revert back (except Subversion server: for some reasons it's much faster on amd64) Jean-Yves On 04/03/2005, at 7:50 AM, Scott Long wrote: > Jean-Yves Avenard wrote: >> Well, it may work for you, but not for me. >> Still hangs exactly in the same spot. >> Jean-Yves >> On 21/01/2005, at 12:24 AM, Michael Meltzer wrote: >>> looks like patch3 worked, good job!
