Re: microuptime went backwards ??
BH microuptime() went backwards ( nnn.nn - mmm.m ) Sounds like an AMD Athlon. Yes Disable power management in your BIOS. Nop! It was disabled and this brough me to the microuptime problem. After having re-enabled it (i.e: ACPI enable, APM enable), it seams to work. Also, I recommend disabling it in the kernel as well. Kernel is GENERIC (in fact I did'nt checked if APM was still disabled in 4.7 GENRIC ). # Power management support (see LINT for more options) # deviceapm0at nexus? disable flags 0x20 # Advanced Power Management # Disable due to microuptime() issue last year New kernel build ongoing accordingly your config tip. Last word: many thanks for your help, Christopher :) Bertrand To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
