I therefore conclude that there were one of several possible root causes: - FreeBSD i386 doesn't play nice with Haswell parts - FreeBSD 9.2-STABLE i386 doesn't place nice with Haswell parts - My FreeBSD 9.2-STABLE i386 instance was corrupted somehow My belief is that it is mostly likely the last culprit, absent someone confirming that the first two are possibilities. The good thing that came out of this is that I finally upgraded this server in some important ways: - 64 bit - FreeBSD 10 - Latest bind 9 Now, if I could just figure out how to get stock X to run at 1920x1080 on HD4600 graphics. Apparently neither the intel of vesa drivers know how to do this, or at least I've had no luck with it. The intel driver doesn't even recognize the hardware as something it supports. "X on a server?" you say? Yes, for intermittent use of fluxbox to run a bunch of xterms. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
