System freezes are all most always (94% of the time) hardware
problems.
Power supply overheating, power supply voltage output falling to
low,
dust on motherboard causing overheating, or first signs of hard
drive failure.
Running mfg diagnostic will not identify these types of problems
until
they become close to total failure.

If you want to eliminate 6.0 as cause install 4.11.
That's before all the current major changes were applied.

But my money is on hardware starting to fail.

If I was you, I would make an backup to different hard drive of any
data I did not want to lose.

The warning signs are staring you straight in the face.

I had this happen to me and was so frustrated over it. Once I
replaced the
hard drive FreeBSD was installed on the freeze ups stopped. I still
am using
that HD in the same box for backup storage with out any problems
since. Go figure.

Subject: System Still Freezing


Hi all,

Another chapter in the life (and death), of my Dell PE 1850.

As you may be aware, I have a PE 1850 that has started to
intermitantly
freeze (this all started Feb 23rd). SOmetimes, it will run for 2
days, then
freeze, sometimes it can run as long as 5 days.

All logs and everything turned up to near debug, show nothing. The
system
just stops dead, and again, a physical suyvey of the server reveals
nothing.
All lights still working and blinking, no excessive heat not beeps
etc etc.

A week ago, I ran every 32 bit Dell diagnostic I could on it ... for
4 hours
straight and not 1 error found. I also ran memetst86 for 3 hours and
no
errors found.

Here are some particulars:

FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE
Dell PowerEdge 1850
-Intel 3.0 GHz Duel Core.
-512 MB DDR RAn
-74 GB SCSI Seagate Cheetah 10k.
- 2 Onboard Intel Pro1000 (1 GB) NICS (Both connected to my switch,
1 LAN
and 1 WAN.).
- 1 Built in (Dedicated Riser) DRAC 4/I card.
- NO RAID, No Extra VIdeo or sound. No keyboard plugged in, no
monitor.

SHould I consider diableing APIC and Hyperthreading? Does anything
know if
these two would be causing all the issues I have in the kernel?

I have been reading alot about interupt storms lately. How can I
tell if
this is whats happeneing here?

Thanks again all,

-GRant
