It happens often when you have many disks and put heavy load on them. And it is only result of poor hardware (not sure - poor controller, motherboard design, both?). i tried changing disks, ports, until i replaced this server with dell poweredge ;) if this is quite random, swapping ports change the behaviour but not solve it, swapping cables does not, yet there is no real rule when and why it happens you have same problem that i've had. > 3. I had to run xorg in VESA mode, because xf86-video-intel-2.7.1_4 does > not recognize the video chip on the motherboard on question. That is a tried this from ports? drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 18 maj 16:49 xf86-video-intel29 depends of hardware model. actually intel GFX is the only one i tolerate and it works. Eg the one in my lenovo G550 laptop needs 2.7 driver, the one builtin in Atom D525 processor needs 2.9 driver. Completely new intel GFX are not YET supported but that what i only heard as i don't have any of them.
