And I am still not sold on SCHED_ULE: Start as many compute-bound programs as there are CPUs, and prepare for poor (to put it kindly) interactive response. That's not everybody's usage pattern, but it seems plausible enough to me to preclude SCHED_ULE as the default scheduler until it is fixed. On the good side, I'm pleased with the new 9.0 boot menu, and I'm very happy that the ahci driver automatically creates symbolic links to the old device names for its disks. I like that I don't have to tab to the "Okay" button in configuration dialogs any more (though I was surprised the first time it happened). But I hope this gets fixed for my flash card reader/writer: ugen0.5: <vendor 0x05e3> at usbus0 umass0: <vendor 0x05e3 USB TO IDE, class 0/0, rev 2.00/0.32, addr 5> on usbus0 umass0: SCSI over Bulk-Only; quirks = 0x4101 umass0:2:0:-1: Attached to scbus2 (probe0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): AutoSense failed (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): got CAM status 0x4 (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): fatal error, failed to attach to device (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): lost device - 0 outstanding (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): removing device entry -- George Mitchell
