Speaking of MSI being on by default in recent 6-STABLE ... well, that caused my ThinkPad T61 (8859-CTO) ... dmesg: http://www103.pair.com/parv/comp/unix/freebsd/thinkpad-t61-8859-cto/sys/dmesg kernel (combined for easy perusal): http://www103.pair.com/parv/comp/unix/freebsd/thinkpad-t61-8859-cto/cf/kern/combined/T61-SMP.debug--combined /boot/device.hints: http://www103.pair.com/parv/comp/unix/freebsd/thinkpad-t61-8859-cto/cf/boot/device.hints ... to go in panic[0]. So, for now I have added ... # Since MSI turned on by default on 2008.01.10.21.17.12 UTC, # causes panic so disable MSI. hw.pci.enable_msix=0 hw.pci.enable_msi=0 ... to /boot/loader.conf.
