I don't know what the case is here (likely he is running a hosed kernel), but using dmesg output to say which kernel source version people is running is just wrong.. Please don't stomp all over the guy before having checked. My dmesg says I've built my system on March 17, in the middle of the bad period. This is quite correct, and I'm running March 13 sources (before the breakage). I've re-compiled to test other changes. And now I'll repeat Karl's advice: If that kernel is built from the -current sources of vintage newer than March 12 and older March 21, back down to March 12 or older, and the recompile true -current. Other kernels will cut your disks to tiny slices. Eivind. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
