I made it 1 because I wanted to get feedback on what hardware is broken. So far only two people have complained. Hundreds complained when the default was 0.

hw.pci.enable_io_modes default value.
Hello, I had freeze at boot problem with my laptop and -CURRENT: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=42262 I found the solution: setting hw.pci.enable_io_modes to 0. So I have a question: that sysctl has to be =1 by default? I mean if I have that issue with it and my laptop, maybe I'll not be the only one with that problem. Well I'm sure there is a good reason for that default setting. Perhaps we could write somewhere that setting may lead to hangs with some hardware :) Marc PS: btw kern/42262 can be closed :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message
