Sure, I've been around here long enough to know this - was just trying to see if anyone else knew about it, as it takes so long to boot over the network that I really didn't want to scrub my nstall to try the most recent snapshot only to find it doesnt work (we are talking 3 hours or so wasted potentially), or to duplicate testing for something already well known. > For non-ports problems the PR database is a burial ground.

Am a bit surprised you feel this way. Investigating and posting here also generates reseults, but I do like to tag them onto a PR in the end, just so they dont get lost. I can't think of a serious kernel bug I filed a PR for which wasn't investigated and resolved, sorry if you've had less success. > So, my concrete suggestion is - please first try the latest version of FreeBSD > that you consider to possibly use in the near future.

Well, am trying to boot the most recent 8.1 snapshot right now, lets see how that goes... -pete. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
