I made a new kernel (make kernel) and since I never set such an option anywhere, I'm pretty confident, that it's at its default value. > There is a tunable hidden in dcons_crom that causes the dcons console to > be selected. > > Try adding boot_multicons and hw.firewire.dcons_crom.force_console to > /boot/loader.conf: > boot_multicons="YES" > hw.firewire.dcons_crom.force_console=0 Thank you! That worked, I still am running the kernel with the change you mentioned earlier, though. I noticed this in dcons_crom.c #if __FreeBSD_version >= 500000 static int force_console = 1; TUNABLE_INT("hw.firewire.dcons_crom.force_console", &force_console); #endif Which to me looks like the default is to force the console, even if NOTES has this default ./conf/NOTES:options DCONS_FORCE_CONSOLE=0 # force to be the primary console Anyway, let's turn on ULE and PREEMPTION and see what happens :) Ulrich Spoerlein -- PGP Key ID: F0DB9F44 Encrypted mail welcome!
