Recently I haven't managed to cause it to panic on amd64. I boosted my RAM to 4GB because its now cheap enough to be an impulse purchase. I also noticed recently that recent Solaris Express builds have ZFS up at version 9, whereas the FreeBSD implementation is at version 6 - so I assume ZFS on FreeBSD will have some ways to go yet (and there will be a "zpool upgrade" in everyone's future.) * if_ral - I've noticed instability in the driver since mid last year. I have a USB wireless dongle that uses the driver, and I have noticed just like all the other users who have mentioned it - that it occasionally "cuts out". * G33 chipset detection in the kernel - going into RELEASE? or will it not make it? Otherwise FreeBSD7-RC1 is holding up well for me.
