Just a thought I noticed in reading all the mail. It appears that most of the people who upgraded from 2.2.x to 3.0-STABLE are the ones with the most problems. People (like myself) who went to 3.0 on a clean install, and then started tracking stable seem to be doing ok. I went so far as to build a release of 3.0-STABLE, and install from that. I've had a days worth of uptime with each of the versions, and haven't had a single problem with reboots that people have been complaining about all along the upgrade path. Heck, I can even try to write to read only media (ie - a CD), and it just comes back and complains "<file>: Read-only file system". No panics on the unmount, either. You may want to consider freshly clean install of -STABLE, or at least upgrade to 3.0 before following the stable path. Might find it works better. I also think I remember an email from Jordan saying (paraphrasing) that the upgrade path is filled with pitfalls.... -Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
