When doing really intensive tasks such as buildworld or installworld, the computer would actually stall. The first time was immediately after booting single user after building the world and kernel. I started and installworld, and it hung there until I did a hard reset. Horrible timing for it, but such is life. Later (after I fixed the damage from the partial install) it hung when doing my buildworld, so I booted up on a different (SCHED_4BSD) kernel to do the buildworld (subsequently switching back to SCHED_4BSD). If you want any particulars about my system just let me know. -- Evan Dower Undergraduate, Computer Science University of Washington Public key: http://students.washington.edu/evantd/pgp-pub-key.txt Key fingerprint = D321 FA24 4BDA F82D 53A9 5B27 7D15 5A4F 033F 887D >From: Scott Sipe >To: current@freebsd.org >Subject: Sched_Ule >Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2003 00:28:59 -0400 (EDT) > > >Hi, > >I see some posts from late Sept about people having issues with SCHED_ULE. >I just wanted to add in that I am having the exact same problems.
