Although the same probe errors also show up like on 6-STABLE, they do not delay a second the boot process. > I've seen this on Supermicro EM64T in the past on 7-current, but that > went away about 3-4 weeks ago.

On 7-CURRENT, the scenario is not as critical as on 6-STABLE. On CURRENT, there is only that bunch of mpt_cam_event notifications, whenever certain disk operations are performed (tarball extracting, i.e.). No bce(4) watchdog messages, network interface down nor system unstability. Even though, the system hangs most of times when it is restarted or shuted down, and I am forced to use the power off button. /var/run/dmesg.boot http://bsdero.tripod.com/dmesg.boot.CURRENT.txt /var/log/messages (with remarks) http://bsdero.tripod.com/messages.0902.CURRENT.txt pciconf -lv output http://bsdero.tripod.com/pciconf.CURRENT.txt Regards
