Sounds like there's nothing to downgrade to. :/ It also looks like I'm getting some general disk corruption at this point; needed to fsck -y this morning to get it to boot, and it nuked a lot of stuff from /usr, causing me to make world again (kinda fun to do while giving a presentation, yay!). I'm still seeing those messages, as well as crap like Oct 25 06:39:46 yez /kernel: ad0: timeout waiting for DRQ - resetting Oct 25 06:39:46 yez /kernel: ata0: resetting devices .. done Oct 25 06:45:27 yez /kernel: ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting Oct 25 06:45:27 yez /kernel: ata0: resetting devices .. done I suspect it's more a bad disk now, though, if others aren't seeing exactly this. It's RELENG_4 cvsup'd as of this morning. Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
