------- =_aaaaaaaaaa0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-ID: <620.972231438.1@tomservo.vrac.iastate.edu> Last weekend, I installed FreeBSD 4.1.1 on a machine loaned to me by a friend. It's got a Cyrix MediaGX in it which is something I've not dealt with before. After getting 4.1.1 installed, I promptly cvsup'd the 4-STABLE sources for October 14, rebuilt and installed a custom kernel. Since doing that, the system clock has been ticking off about 10 seconds for each real second which is certainly undesirable. The GENERIC kernel for 4.1.1 and October 14 work just fine, however. I've been making custom kernels since 2.1.5, and I have never seen anything like this before. This machine was replacing one that was already running 4-STABLE from late August, and I based the custom kernel for this replacement machine on the older one. Has anyone seen this kind of behavior before? It's quite perplexing to me, and while I can run a GENERIC kernel, I prefer to use custom kernels as much as possible. Attached are my custom kernel config, my /boot/loader.conf.local and the output of dmesg when the machine is booted using the GENERIC kernel. -Patrick Patrick L.
