The ethernet device is not recognized, and = I get warnings about interrupt storms on irq19 (atapci1), which I don't see= with 8-RELEASE. That might be a matter of missing diagnostics in the relea= se kernel (the numbers from 'vmstat -i' seem to suggest this). Ditto. I have a Intel BOXDH55TC MB w/ a Core i3-530, 8GB RAM. Grabbed RELENG_8 , which http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/cvs-tags.html says is stable.8. Compiled an amd64 GENERIC kernel. Could not recognize the ethernet. Had to go to CURRENT to get it working. Nathan Mates
