No, those are two different things. Disabling the APIC sometimes help with timekeeping on broken hardware. You would get swifter and better help if you put in a minimum amount of effort yourself. The correct way to disable ACPI (whether partially or entirely) is clearly documented in the acpi(4) man page. > Hmm. > > # sysctl kern.timecounter.hardware="ACPI-fast" > kern.timecounter.hardware: ACPI-safe > sysctl: kern.timecounter.hardware: Invalid argument > > Or is this a loader.conf setting? No, you can change it at runtime, but it's quite possible that ACPI-fast is not available. You can tell which timecounters are available by checking kern.timecounter.choice. > btw, there are instances where you can be promopted 6 times for a > password when logging in with ssh, 3 times with "Password:" prompt > and another three with "root_at_hostname's password:" promopt. Yes. If that is a problem, there is an excellent sshd_config(5) man page which explains how to tweak your configuration.
