Hi, I recently tried enabling MCA (ie w.mca.enabled=1 in loader.conf) on an 8.0-STABLE system and found that it would cause the system to hang after a few minutes of uptime.
The screen would go black and the monitor would turn off (regardless of wether it was in X or not) and only a hard reset would bring it back. Also I found that quite often I had to power cycle the whole PC or the BIOS wouldn't detect the hard disks on boot(!) after a hang. uname is..
