Oh… Apparently this afflicted 7.3-RELEASE for a short while, then was corrected in 7.3-STABLE. So I’m not sure what problem I was encountering below. The consensus now is I was hitting MAXCPU. But I should have hit that on 7.2. I upgraded a VM to FreeBSD 7.3 from 7.2 and now it won’t boot. It

I recently upgraded xorg on my workstation at the office. Immediately I started seeing problems with one of the monitors. It would go empty/blank/black for three seconds, then resume normal operation. Then it would go blank again when I interacted with the screen. In short, that one monitor was completely useless.

I am impressed…. my gmirror array continued to work even after the drives were renamed from da20 and da24 to ada0 and ada1. This happened when I tried out the ahci(4) for my SATA drives. It’s the type of thing I’m striving for soon in my ZFS array. All this started when I wanted to
