Your email makes me really sad. It makes me really sad because I want to believe that you sent it in order to help somebody. However you're doing the contrary and you are doing it publicly. That means other people will later find your email and, believing that you are trying to help, do what you recommend. Please do not recommend to *disable* anything in a kernel. Disabling something that you don't understand might be good enough for you. But it does not help me, or I believe anyone else, to fix the damn problem people are having. Instead of giving such advices, I'd suggest you to read sendbug(1) and fill a bug report as complete as possible such that competent people might have a chance to help you fix your problem. If you do that you might be able to run a GENERIC kernel without disabling anything. You might also prevent other people to send other bug reports for the same problem. Think about it, the system you're running is good because *a lot* of other people did not deactivate anything but instead sent good or not so good bug reports. Sadly you've just answered to yet another bug report without information, giving a bad advice and nobody can improve OpenBSD. I hope I didn't sound to harsh and I hope to see a nice bug report from you in bugs@ soon. Best regards, Martin
