Someone out there must > also be seeing this and if its normal..I would like to know...(and if > its normal..why) I just got my CDs last night and haven't yet upgraded anything. We still have a while before the official release. Now there are plenty of people running current and testing, but still not nearly as many as are running release or stable. I'm pretty sure if the devs were working at 300 baud they would have done something about it. Ditto if reports of same were flooding in. So maybe at this time it's just you and maybe a couple of others who haven't said anything on the lists. In the meantime, perhaps you could try to debug a bit. Since you have identical machines you've got a nice opportunity to compare 3.8 and 3.9 behavior. Start with comparing simple stuff like all the nice numbers in top (interrupts?). Is the whole machine sluggish, or just console interaction? Check plus39.html and see if anything jumps out at you as possibly causing this problem. Compare dmesg between versions to see if anything significant went missing or appeared. In other words, poke around. I'll be upgrading to 3.9 soon on a small variety of hardware, and if I see anything similar I'll try to figure it out and post here... -- Darrin Chandler| Phoenix BSD Users Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ |
REPOST: console on 3.9-current question
I was surprised that no one replied on this list about this issue...so I wanted to repost it ONE time. Someone out there must also be seeing this and if its normal..I would like to know...(and if its normal..why) REPOST: After further testing, its not only the console, but also over SSH. (on the same LAN segment) - so that would eliminate a few possibilities. I noticed this awhile back on 3.9-current and it is still there in the latest snapshot I tried (4/22)...I am hoping someone has seen this.. I installed from the snapshot and didnt customize a thing. When the machine is done loading (IBM rack server)...I simply logged in (as root at the moment). I am not running serial or headless. I have a normal monitor/keyboard (PS2) plugged in. When I type at the console to begin to setup the machine, the characters do not follow me in real time as I type. Its like I am on an overseas long distance 300 baud dialup line. There is quite a delay and sometimes I can type several words and then a few seconds later - they show up. This does not happen on the same machine if I install 3.8. I have (4) identical machines (make/model/ram/cpu/hard drives) and they all work fine with 3.8 - it is only past 3.8 that I noticed this. Any thoughts? -JD
