Hello,
I've got an older laptop that I attempted to install 12 on w/o success=2E
Well, it installed=2E But was unusable=2E Typing anything at the console
frequently doesn't output on the screen w/o tapping one of the arrow
keys=2E But doing that causes other problems=2E As I can't really use the
output=2E :(
I suspected an interrupt storm of some type=2E But really can't say for
sure=2E a vmstat -i seems to show unusually high numbers for irq1: atkbd0
often ~1/3rd the number for CPU0=2E I can easily realize all this during
the install process from the install media=2E So it's easy to test=2E
This is a i386 based Pentium M=2E FreeBSD 10=2E4-STABLE runs like a dream=2E
But I'm going to need to move forward at some point, and I'd like that
some point to be now=2E :)
Any thoughts on how I might discover /what/ change was made from
10=2E4-->11* to cause this?
It has a trackpad=2E Should that make any difference=2E

Thanks!

--Chris
