I had no cardbus or legacy card support in my kernel, and I could still use xl0. However, I could not get cardbus or legacy card support working on 5.0, which is why I'm now on 4.8. I tried making world up to 5.0-current from -release, and it never worked. I always got some odd error. Repeated cvsup did not help. I think the error code was hardware related. ACPI worked okay. With 'device card 1', I'd get a power cycle about 30 seconds after boot. I could not boot a cardbus enabled kernel, nor an eisa enabled kernel. If you can live with ACPI (maybe causing compilation errors with its hardware support?) that errors often, no card support (unless you can get it working ;D), and other oddities, I recommend you stick with 4.8. I also had a lot of trouble compiling ports on 5.0. It would often take me 10 tries of 'make install clean' to get it to go through all the way. I could not put up with this for 'make world'. 4.8 has been flawless. Some APM support, and PCCARD (all I need). Everything compiles, and I have done numerous make worlds to -stable. I would never go back to 5.0.
