Scot Thank you Scot, The powerd_flags=-a maximum -b maximum workaround worked like a charm for me. But I'm still willing to help by testing patches from the FreeBSD commiters. Thank you Bruno for sending the patch to me, Please let me know if you need me to do more patches tests. -- Regards, -Abdullah Ibn Hamad Al-Marri Arab Portal http://www.WeArab.Net/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You might as well have powerd_enable=NO What I think is happening is that powered is too aggressive in downgrading the clock speed, that it eventually sets the clock to a value that is so low that the system stops responding. I have an HP nx6125 that will randomly hang if powerd is enabled and if you search back through the mailing lists, there are a few other people with similar problems. I've done some experimenting and in my case, it's the clock speed transitions that cause a hang. The actual clock speed is irrelevant. I believe it's a race condition or a timing bug. -- Peter Jeremy pgpllgAlLXx8u.pgp Description: PGP signature

All this sounds strange, because i bought this very notebook for my wife 22 days ago, installed 6.2-PRE and it works totally stable for almost a month now. Here she is with this book: http://forum.allunix.ru/index.php?act=Attachtype=postid=4 Looks pretty happy, doesn't she? :-))) The only thing is that this book doesn't reboot or shut the power down when i tell him to 'reboot' or 'reboot -p'. It just syncs discs and hands with no explanations. But it works just fine. -- С уважением, Бачило Дмитрий Руководитель отдела системной интаграции ООО Компания Солинк -- With Best Regards, Bachilo Dmitry Head of systems integration dept Solink Company Ltd. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
