Was there a time that it went away with kthreads? Huh, I really don't know for sure, because lately I have not followed -current very closely (SMPng stability issues, you know), but I heard from someone that some not-so-distant snapshot doesn't exhibit this misbehaviour. Could I suggest that we provide some sysctl to disable entropy harvesting in syscons mouse code at least until you will solve it properly? -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
