If it's running really up to date current, try changing sys/alpha/include/mutex.h to define mtx_intr_enable() to nothing, which will hackishly run ithreads with a raised IPL and might solve the problem if its an interrupt storm you are seeing. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
