It *only* occurs for the setiathome binary, and it *seems* to be triggered when the X server is restarted after logout/login via xdm. I went through the suggestions in the troubleshooting section of the FAQ, namely trying kern.timecounter.method=1 and such. Curiously, it made no difference. Even more curiously, the same machine used to work just fine under 3.4 without this mod (timecounter hardware is PIIX). I had recently shuffled the audio card around in my system to try to figure out an unrelated problem with why audio recording isn't working. Turns out that the current slot the PCI sound card is now sitting in appears to be sharing an IRQ with the video card. I need to take the machine down and move the card out of this slot to see if the calcru errors continue or not, since it does appear to be interrupt related. I just haven't had the time to take my box down to try this yet, and so wasn't going to post a note 'till I'd figured it out. Hopefully you have a bit more free time to experiment. -- Parag Patel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
