Re: First impressions of FreeBSD 5.3
I'll toss that into my kernel the next time I can keep my server up long enough to run. But since the release date has been pushed back I promise not to start any more threads about 5.3.

Which was mostly my fault (/usr/src/UPDATING is a must read) but that doesn't really explain why things are running so badly on this box. ACPI is disabled, and aside from including IPF and SMP options into the kernel, it is a very generic kernel as well. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Not an answer to your question but on my (old 133MHz) box 5.x is alot lot slower than 4.x. But I think the general response there will be... you shouldn't run 5.x on such a slow box :) -- Internet Explorer? Try FireFox at http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ Outlook Express?

Both of these look bogus..are you certain you upgraded completely? You'll get this kind of problem if your userland, kernel and/or modules are out of sync. And the server runs incredibly slow. (No I didn't leave in the testing options) Slow doing what? Please provide more information. You also forgot to include details of your hardware. Also, discussions of 5.3 should be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] since it's still in development. Kris pgpXOVVwH4Dwd.pgp Description: PGP signature
