Somewhat harder - I was a bit blase about that update as I had tried it on several other systems first, so I can tell you that for me it started on April 8th, but I cannot remember when I updated before that, so I cannot give you a date when it was actually working :-( Maybe one of the others with the problem could narrow it down a little further ? -pcf. [note that I have since updated to RC-1 to see if this makes any difference to the stability, and I am no longer running SMP] -------------------------------------------------------------------- dmesg: Copyright (c) 1992-2002 The FreeBSD Project.
