I keep various OSes on USB keys for tests of integrated devices --- if it is throwing fits in FreeBSD and it also does so when I boot from a Linux live key, it's a good bet that there's hardware issues. And yes, fully removing power can also help --- often power coming back on is far from clean (may start with an undervoltage or a series of brief "pulses" of power before coming on for real), and integrated devices often get some amount of power even when the machine is "off". (This was also included in "or etc."; there's a number of "standard" things worth trying when a hardware-related failure follows a power event.) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
