Please note that also It's funny, my 3.1-STABLE system has performed flawlessly since its birthday in mid-May. It's been rebooted for new kernels and for a disk installation, but has never crashed.

Was your system upgraded to 3.x from 2.2.x? foo gsutter ~ $date; uptime; uname -a Tue May 4 00:31:08 PDT 1999 12:31AM up 30 days, 7:58, 21 users, load averages: 1.07, 1.05, 1.01 FreeBSD foo.bar.com 3.1-STABLE FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE #5: Wed Mar 17 19:53:15 PST 1999 root@foo.bar.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/FOO i386 Greg -- Gregory S.
