Greg: The busdma problems from 5.3-RELEASE are fixed. That doesn't mean that there are no *other* problems. Scott is saying "the old busdma bug shouldn't be affecting 5.4-PRE", and he's correct. Most likely, something else is happening, eg: you're running out of KVM or something silly like that. I know we're right on the brink at 8GB. The layout of the devices may be just enough to tip it over the edge. -- Peter Wemm - [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
