I notice that the drm rc script unloads the modules it loads when invoked with :stop". so that the modules will get unloaded on the way to shutdown. Question is this required? Is it eve a good idea? After all we are going to halt the system shortly, right? I ask this because I had a panic on the way down, this morning, that I believe was caused by unloading the wrong module (agp in that case)? Thanks for any words of wisdom on this. -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
