For about a year my home pf firewall / Squid proxy, a Pentium 4 PC with an Aopen S661FXm motherboard with the latest BIOS, has been running well with FreeBSD 9.0. I recently decided to swap out the bge ethernet card with a dual port Intel server card using the em driver, then I decided to freshly upgrade to FreeBSD 9.1. That's all that changed.
While I was compiling Perl
and it completely froze the system. My SSH session kicked me out and the console was locked.
I did some thinking then comparing, and I noticed that my FreeBSD 9.0 iteration's rc.conf didn't start powerd while my FreeBSD 9.1 did.
Should I just not start powerd? I couldn't find what I believe is a corresponding BIOS setting that might correct this issue.
