It was a couple of weeks ago that I played with it. I put printf's
around the msleep and wakeup. I saw the wakeup called but the sleep
not get it. I can try the test again later today. Right now my main
work machine is recovering from a power outage. This was with 9.0
when I first saw it. This issue seems to only happen at boot time.
If I kldload the module after the system is booted then it seems to work
okay. The KCS part was working fine and got the data okay from the
request. I haven't seen or heard any issues with 8.2.
Thanks,
