Arg, cheered too soon :( It actually wasn't the cngets()/gets() change. I also tried enabling the APIC again (by hint.apic.0.disabled=0, hint.apic.1.disabled=0 in loader.conf) at the same time. The password entering seems to work as long as the APIC is enabled. I have been keeping it disabled since 8.1 or so because my system would freeze after a few days with the APIC enabled, probably some interrupt storm, never checked this in detail So now, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place: When the APIC is enabled, I can enter the GELI password and by system boots but hard freezes after two days. If the APIC is disabled I cannot enter the password but the system would run without problems. It's probably time to investigate further on the interrupt storm issue in order to be able to use the APIC in future. However, I'm not particularly knowledegable in this area. Will probably start with vmstat -i :) Any other hints? Regards - --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort. Jetzt wechseln und E-Mail-Adresse mitnehmen! http://email.freenet.de/basic/Informationen
