If you know the last time it was working, and have a local CVS repository, it should only take log2(N)+1, at most, to do a binary date search to see what day the code broke. That's 10 recompiles and reboots to get the date, if it occurred at any time in the last 16 months. If it's when ACPI was enabled by default in the first place, it means it's your BIOS (which is why I suggested going after the BIOS first thing). You've played "higher/lower" enough to know the optimum strategy, right? Basically, you get a bounding date, and divide it in two, and divide the remaining time in 2, etc., until you have the day, using e.g. cvs co # fails == +0 cvs co -D"512 days ago" # works == -512 cvs co -D"256 days ago" # works == +256 cvs co -D"128 days ago" # fails == +128 cvs co -D"192 days ago" # works == -96 ... -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
