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
