Sounds like you have inadvertently CVSup'ed -current sources. You must have tag=RELENG_4 in your CVSup file to get 4-STABLE. Secondly, maybe somebody has committed code that utilizes the SpeedStep(tm) technology from Intel which would take your 700Mhz CPU down to 550Mhz if you were not plugged into wall power. Is the dmesg from above booting from wall power or off battery? Either way, I highly suggest that if you wanted to run 4-STABLE that you CVsup the right sources and install the right version of the OS. -current can go "poof" much more frequently than -stable can :) -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, (space for rent, cheap!) | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
