So- there are knobs (but nothing in UPDATING warned me to turn them off in order to boot again). The commit message described that the option would be on by default, and I did a followup to -current that described the situation in detail. Sorry if you missed it. I still think this should be in a separate rc file, but no matter. The timing (i.e., asap) really indicates that /etc/rc is the best home. The item that causes the alpha to hang on boot is interrupt harvesting. Has anyone else running non-ia32 run into problems? I'm not sure about that, but I know Mark appreciates all the feedback he can get, especially on non-intel stuff.

If you're running the "old" harvesting code (pre-Rijndael, i.e. older than about a day or so), it's seriously broken - it doesn't really harvest entropy at all, and I suspect it of smashing the stack. Try again with the new code. DES -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav - [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
