    I cvsup'd this morning and build/installed. But it didn't go so well.

    I see this as well, on my desktop (also a dell but with a intel graphics
    chipset. I note that I can do Xorg -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf and exit
    out (ctrl-alt-backspace). If I change my windows manager in .xinitrc
    to exec twm. I can open and close a few xterms just fine, but if I
    ctrl-alt-backspace out the machine will reboot.

    mount options are broken it seems. -o rw, which is what everyone here
    uses, no longer works. Only -w -u / seems to work. Then again
    sometimes that doesn't and it will complain about the ad0s1a device
    being invalid.
