However, the laptop may also be having some hardware issues, so I didn't press the issue.... But after getting another panic after trying to reboot after installing today's -CURRENT on the laptop, I applied that patch, and so far, things seem better. What I did: * Fetched the patch & unzipped it. * cd /usr/src/sys && patch -p6 <~/PATCHES/procswap.diff (I actually ran "patch -C" first, to verify that things looked good.) * cd /usr/src && make kernel KERNCONF=LAPTOP_30W * reboot (after a few syncs, in case that might help). * cd /usr/src && date && make installworld && date && \ mergemaster -u 0022 -i && date && df -k (I.e., re-do the "make installworld & mergemaster steps from the install where I had a panic on reboot, both to have some assurance that files I'd rather have didn't get truncated, and to serve as a first- order test of the patched code.) * reboot * Run a few tests. So far, so good. Thanks! Cheers, david (links to my resume at http://www.catwhisker.org/~david) -- David H.
