My tests so far: build/installworld from 4.1-RELEASE source: works fine build/installworld from 4.1-STABLE prior to Aug 23: works fine build/installworld from 4.1-STABLE after Aug 23: profiling timer errors build/installworld from 4.1-STABLE as of today: test in progress There were a number of changes made to the sys/dev/isp/* codebase on Aug 27, and this may be part of the issue. However, the maintainer (mjacob) has released a major rewrite of the isp driver code just today which I am going to test again. It's a terrible pain to test, but worth it since more than a few of us are having issues. I have tried changing RAM to rule out recent RAM upgrade with same results. (The original RAM upgrade predates the problems, and had been running 4.0 without problems previously). I have attempted installs with absolutely "clean" cvsup's (delete /usr/src entirely and let cvsup re-populate it). I will coordinate data from others with the same problem if necessary. In particular I'd like to ask what Qlogic cards are in use and what IRQ's they are using for them, etc. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
