new to the list, fyi, and whats up with ports?

brand new to the list, brand new to current.  The choice to upgrade was simply that with my current hardware, this is the more stable.  

I am running on an asus crosshair motherboard which works great.  The network adapter's are both detected via nfe.  It is plaiged with watchdog timeouts but I did verify while doing dhcp requests that some data actually made it through,  my router  showed a request was made from this computer however it didn't actually manage to get a lease.

because of this I threw in a 3com 3c905C card which only works with the -current branch with my setup.  the rest(6.1,6.2) had kernel page faults on amd64. There were no issues with xl0 3c905c while on the i386 kernel and they only started when I switched to amd64, and stopped when I got to 7-current(amd64).  

I am having a hell of a lot of ports errors while compiling, however I can pkg_add -r the same packages which tells me other people have no such issues.   I get a lot of this error:

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /lib/libpthread.so.2: Undefined symbol "_malloc_prefork"

other than that, compared I've run successfully after getting binaries because ports failed for various reasons(mostly lib related errors) mozilla, windowmaker, enlightenment, licq, xorg, firefox
