OK, I just ran a dmesg and put it up there: http://www.skyrush.com/downloads/dmesg_4.out The WRITE_DMA messages are not time-correlated with this issue; I don't like the looks of those either, but that's a different issue to look into... > Also if > you rebuild the kernel the kernel with DIAGNOSTIC then softclock() will > complain about callouts that take longer than 2ms to run. OK, recompiling now...

Cool - thanks for looking at this, and I will let you know what I find! Do I need to make another trace concurrently, or should I just repeat the test procedure and see if I get new messages? -Thanks, Joe
