Please try FreeBSD 5.2-BETA or wait for the 5.2-RC1. > --Mat Hi Eddy, I had the same exact problem with 5.1-RELEASE _and_ 5.2-BETA. However, a patch just came out for 5.2-BETA that fixes it for me. You have three choices: 1.) Wait for 5.2-RC's ISO images to become available on the FTP site. 2.) Download the 5.2-BETA mini ISO image, install 5.2-BETA, then install the patch found at the link below, recompile your kernel, and reboot: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.current/35240 3.) CVSUP your sources to -CURRENT, recompile your kernel, and reboot. Hope that helps! -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
