I downloaded vge(4) code in CURRENT, put it in 8.0R source tree, applied the patch, and rebuild GENERIC kernel (actually I shortcut it with NO_CLEAN flag). After I rebooted with the new kernel, the boot sequence stopped just after setting hostname. Setting hostname: elvenbow.cc.kyushu-u.ac.jp msk0: Uncorrectable PCI Express error vge0: link state changed to DOWN msk0: link state changed to DOWN (stop) The system didn't completely freeze. I can push "Scroll Lock" and "Page Up/Down" to browse the boot messages, but sometimes it stopped responding to my input for a second. Ctrl-C had no effect and I had to hit the reset button. Now my PC is synchronizing degraded gmirror volume...(ouch) I'm wondering if I need complete kernel rebuild for the code to work...
