After installing a fresh cvsup last Sunday, I find that my usb printer
quit working. Some investigation shows that this is because the uhci
and fxp are now on the same IRQ. This hasn't been a problem
previously. I haven't made any hardware changes in quite a while, and

Well, you're not alone. I note that the same code works fine in my
machine with an fxp.
I'm getting hard lockups booting a -current kernel supped about 6
hours ago. If I try to boot multiuser, I get a message about the
ethernet interface being configured, and then nothing. If I boot
single user, it comes up fine, and I can configure the NIC. The system
then locks up maybe 10 seconds

Just curious - now that the kernel has moved into /boot/kernel/kernel,
does anyone know how well would it work to put /boot in it's own
partition (possibly in it's own slice)?
Thanx,
I've got a system with 4.1-STABLE installed. I mount -current sources
on it, do make buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel/installworld and
reboot. The boot loader runs, gives me the "booting default in..."
countdown, prints "|", and then stops. After thrashing the disks (with
*no* boot messages),

It seems that something has broken plaympeg - at least for video. In
trying to play video back, I get a black window and no images. Audio
playback seems fine. This is something I don't do often, so I'm not

I recently got my digital camera back out, and started pulling the old
pictures from it. I noticed something I hadn't ever seen before - silo
overflows from the sio port. At the moment, I'm wondering if this is a
known problem that is being investigated (SMPNG comes to mind), or
something new.

It seems that recent (the last two weeks?) changes to periodic have
changed things so that non-root users of it no longer get any output.
A simple fix would be to change the default output to $USER (not yet
tested). However, having a user-specific periodic.conf would be a lot
more useful. But I w

I just realized this may be a difference due to a between -current and
