Nate, I had trouble also, but the last 3 ctm updates had a load of kernel fixes, and that stopped the panics. Can I suggest you make sure you're *very* current? Maybe that won't help, but it sure did on my systems. BTW, that includes a boatload of fixes changing lkms and ps and the like, so your libs and ps etc. have to be as current as your kernel. > > Nate > ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!
