I had made world > pretty recently, but obviously there was still something out of sync. Obviously, it would be nice to know the exact nature of the problem. Since UP doesn't show the same problems its probably not a simple sync problem. Is the UP kernel you successfully tested with as new as the SMP kernel that fails? If not, could you build one with the same sources as the failing SMP kernel and see if the screensaver lkm then causes it to fail? -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD
