Right now, the console is where I can see the mess... Can you at least try setting the console to serial and seeing if the "mess" goes away, please? This will make the boot process quite silent. Once you're up and running, please log into the graphics head and do whatever it is you do that causes the problem. Speaking of this -- what is it that you do & how reproducable is it? Will running 'yes' do it, for example? FWIW, I have nearly 20 alphas running 4.2 with serial consoles & they all work just dandy. None of them have graphics heads though. I'm planning to put a head on my test box and try to reproduce this tomorrow... Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
