You're probably seeing another problem with 4.7. ] I have motherboards where this fix doesn't work :( According to the board vendor you're supposed to use the latest Via drivers (ahahaha..) Tinkering with various PCI and AGP options (eg turning features off) makes it more stable, but they still hang :( I have other KT133 based boards which work flawlessly because the BIOS does the fix. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 9A8C 569F 685A D928 5140 AE4B 319B 41F4 5D17 FDD5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
