There's also 2x speed, and it's still sufficient to a) read a data file occasionally or b) install software occasionally or c) play audio. > There are several changes being made to the kernel API's used by > device drivers in -current.

The mcd(4) issues that are already in 4.7-RELEASE would need to be figured. I'm not entirely sure that it's NOT the board I/O timing, but if it was, I'd shrug over why NT then worked. However, if the changes are NOT to 4-STABLE, then I'm out. I cannot migrate that machine to 5-CURRENT, in that case, testing would have to wait until 5-STABLE. -- Matthias Andree To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
