use sysctl to find out what time counters are available on the slow box: sysctl kern.timecounter : kern.timecounter.hardware: ACPI-fast kern.timecounter.choice: TSC(800) ACPI-fast(1000) i8254(0) dummy(-1000000) : Then try setting the Timecounter on the slow box to ACPI-safe (if available) by using sysctl sysctl kern.timecounter.hardware=ACPI-safe If this fixes the problem, then add the following to /etc/sysctl.conf: kern.timecounter.hardware=ACPI-safe Scot -- DISCLAIMER: No electrons were mamed while sending this message.
