I need to know if you can reproduce it with APM set to a definitive state of "disabled". If you can reproduce it there, remove the call to init_timecounter() in sys/i386/isa/clock.c where it changes to the tsc_timecounter. printfs can be pretty lethal inside the clock/timecounter code, so be very careful with that. -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
