The recommendation I read was to make buildworld to go with the appropriate kernel and I am concerned if the plethora of userland stuff, (postgres,php,apache,snort,etc,etc - about 50 ports) would have to be recompiled and reinstalled - this would mean we would have to go thru major regression testing and of course we need it now. The 4.11 kernel that I tried which I had cvsuped on 3-24 to 4.11-STABLE still showed the problem. Is this problem fixed in 4.11p16?
