Hi: One more *possible* "clue." Just before the kernel configuration screen appears (this screen fills up the screen, replacing diagnostic/bootup messages), I get a one-line message that includes the terms "timer" and "frequency" along with some numbers (that may be in hexadecmial). This maybe normal boot-up behavior but I searched the mailing list archives and noticed that the timer was rewritten for 3.0 and that there were some messages/problems concerning the timer in the archives. See: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.0R/notes.html Which states: " The timeout(9) system in the kernel has been overhauled. This gives O(1) insertion and removal of callouts and an O(hash chain length) amount of work to be performed in softclock. The original paper is at: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~amc/research/timer/ " John ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
