Hi all, can someone comment on the state of the hifn(4) driver? I've recently upgraded my 6.2-STABLE workstation to RELENG_7, and I'm now experiencing system lockups that seem to be caused by the hifn(4) driver. I've got a Soekris vpn1401 card to help with GELI disk en- cryption. Reading from a GELI volume is causing the system to freeze completely, which does not happen if software crypto is used (i.e. hifn.ko not loaded). I can't enter kernel debugger (ctrl+alt+esc doesn't work anymore) and my (remote) kgdb-fu isn't up to par anyway. PR kern/92716, which is quite old already, describes somewhat similar symptoms. I had no such problems on the previous 6.2 install (dated from July 2007), and have verified that 6.3 shows the lockup behaviour as well. dmesg output available here: http://evenstar.shopkeeper.de/~sascha/avalon.dmesg7 Cheers, -sascha
