Hello, I am currently testing your work to see if it has any success, I though about changing the kernel too but actually didn't worked trying to update it from ports (at least at me) that till I found out that this problem occurs on some Slackware systems too, but anyway its a good job.
PS: I dont know what to say about the FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE update (actually I did it after installing my server because there is a bug at re0 network cards and in 7.0 the patch is not applied, 7.1 has the patch for this bug).
