I experienced similar problems on a dual Athlon system (MSI K7D Master-L motherboard, AMD 760MPX chipset, dual Athlon MP 2200+) which is barely a couple of months old. I ended up reverting to RELENG_5_1. With -CURRENT, both UP and SMP kernels will crash with symptoms which suggest hardware trouble. With RELENG_5_1, UP is rock solid (knock on wood) while SMP crashes within minutes of booting. I've run out of patience with this system, so I'll keep running RELENG_5_1 on it until someone manages to convince me that -CURRENT will run properly on AMD hardware (maybe around 5.3 or so...) Now, my shiny new 2.4 GHz P4, on the other hand... *drool* DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=F8rgrav - des@des.no
