I've installed 6-stable as of about two weeks ago. I tried out using powerd in 'debug' mode (adaptive by default I guess), more for my own interest's sake, and it locked up the machine solid. Prior to the lock-up the messages reported is was dropping through the various MHz steps, and then the lock-up when it reached what I'm guessing was the lowest level. I was working on the first vty and the lock-up meant I couldn't switch consoles, or reboot with ctrl-alt-delete etc, but I didn't see any panic messages. Being a kernel miser I've stripped out debugging options and so on, but just raising it in case its of interest. I'll upgrade to the latest stable and try it out again now, but also willing to try other suggestions if its not a known issue. Aside from that, this is also a bit of a recommendation for the configuration I've got, it seems extremely slick. I've compiled the JDK 1.5 port and its the fastest one I've tested under FreeBSD, albeit thats the hardware and CPU's that will be making most of the difference versus my other lowly machines - I was just very happy to see it working on amd64 (JBoss under load with Postgres moving the data is the next test). Cheers, Joe
