Greetings list, After I resolved my initial boot problems after upgrading from 5.2-RELEASE to 5.2.1-RC2 (more info about this here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.current/40834 ) I have noticed the following: 1.) 5.2.1-RC2 seems much more stable than 5.2-RELEASE. In the two or three days I've been testing it I haven't been able to crash it once during normal operation on any of my 3 test machines (all ATA machines, BTW) - something I just couldn't say of 5.2-RELEASE. Congrats to the FreeBSD developers! Good work! 2.) I can now successfully suspend/resume from a VTY (sys console) without booting with `boot -vD`. HOWEVER, if I try to suspend/resume while running X11, I experience the following: a.) I can successfully suspend the machine if I switch to a VTY first. b.) I can successfully RESUME the machine if I was looking at a VTY when I suspended. c.) IF I switch to X11 with CTRL+F9 after resume, the machine will briefly display my X11 screen, then the screen will go blank and the machine will lock up. I'm not sure if the kernel is panicing, or if the hardware has locked. However, my keyboard is unresponsive (even SCRLK light) and any attempts to suspend/resume or Fn+F7 to switch displays fail. I'll try to hook up a serial console and find out for sure in the next few days. Does anyone know a workaround for (c) above? Has anyone experienced the same behavior? I'm running FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC2.
