After all, I went from a working system to a hung system which is not the best upgrade path... ;-) Well it's hard to test stuff out without the hardware. :) And it's quite possible a lot of silly looking issues are actually working around real bugs in the hardware. I'm glad this issue was solved so quickly for you. Let's hope we can get you onto testing out HEAD (in a separate partition!) so we can ensure we don't break the basic stuff. :) Adrian _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable_at_freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe_at_freebsd.org"Received on Thu Jan 05 2012 - 18:30:04 UTC
