well theseare the only additional lines ive added to my kernel
I pretty sure i added crypto support after the problems started
i have disabled geli support for encrytped swap partitions as i thought
that may bethe cause
# To make an SMP kernel, the next line is needed
options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel
options ALTQ
options ALTQ_CBQ # Class Bases Queueing
options ALTQ_RED # Random Early Detection
options ALTQ_RIO # RED In/Out
options ALTQ_HFSC # Hierarchical Packet Scheduler
options ALTQ_CDNR # Traffic conditioner
options ALTQ_PRIQ # Priority Queueing
options ALTQ_NOPCC # Required for SMP build
# TCP_DROP_SYNFIN adds support for ignoring TCP packets with SYN+FIN. This
options TCP_DROP_SYNFIN #drop TCP packets with SYN+FIN
#options VESA
#options SC_PIXEL_MODE
maxusers 0
#options NO_LKM
options CONSPEED=115200
device crypto
options GEOM_ELI
# options WITNESS
