Hi all, While I can certainly see the strong argument for sound 'working out of the box', it unfortunately causes panics if one then tries to kldload osscore.ko from audio/oss. I've found that it's definitely due to the compiled in sound.ko; no panic if I remove those options from my kernel config (which unfortunately means I can no longer use freebsd-update for my kernel) I'm not overly concerned about my own position, but there are two options for how we could fix this: - Revert r222980 and go back to requiring people to kldload the correct drivers (ouch :() - Add a note to pkg-message (perhaps even require confirmation-- panics aren't good!) about the need to compile a kernel with no sound driver added Chris http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC?revision=222980&view=markup
