Thanks, Barbara. I am on i386 also. It sounds as though it could
very well be but I would expect others to be seeing something similar.
The kernel that I am using was built and rebooted from yesterday's
sources with hopes that the problem would just "go away" same with
world and ports but no cigar. It is still the same and I don't have
an old enough kernel to go back to so I guess I will just have to wait
until something changes.
Have a great day,
I'm running 9-current on amd64 and have experienced no problems with
flash using linux-opera, which is what I use to view flash content.
Otherwise I use linux-firefox with the flash plugin disabled.
Assuming you use firefox you could try
a) installing a flash blocker
b) installing NoScript, since it basically automatically blocks the
execution of java scripts, etc., which might help
c) checking Tools->Add-Ons->Plugins to see whether you can disable flash
(not sure about this, but it works with linux-firefox)
Thanks a bunch Gary.
That is great information. I'm going to try that on my browsers.
Flash can be a real pain in . . . . the neck.
I have it working now with Ariff's correction putting
machdep.disable_mtrrs=1
in loader.conf rebooting and all is now well.
have a great day all.
