--- Comment #25 from Stephan Neuhaus <sten@artdecode.de> ---
(In reply to Eugene Grosbein from comment #23)

I started the process but during make buldkernel, the MacBook started to act
up: the console font changed and there were kernel(?) errors (that I couldn=
't
read properly because, well, the font had changed). The upshot is that
apparently the MacBook doesn't tolerate prolonged full load any more. I gue=
ss I
have to open it up, clean it, remove dust etc, which may take a while. I'll
also install Debian and give that a spin to see if this issue can be replic=
ated
on another OS.

Of course, if this problem persists, this disqualifies the machine for any
serious work, and thus FreeBSD (or any other OS, for that matter) will prob=
ably
not see any production use on it.

Furthermore, I can't rule out that the bge problems I had and the weird err=
ors
under full load have the same root cause, so I'd be cautious: even if the p=
atch
solves my issue (from looking at it, it seems to make "no watchdog" the def=
ault
for this particular chipset revision, so it absolutely should), I'm not sur=
e if
this is the right thing for everyone.
