Maybe newer kernel with recognized pentium bugs. i wonder, it might actually be heat. in the first system, it was originally housed in an IBM PC 325 cabinet and rebooted quite frequently, then it was moved to a 48VDC rackmount chassis, with somewhat better airflow, and it rebooted less frequently. the new server is a rackmount case, but it doesn't have much in the way of extra fans. is it possible the reboots we are seeing are due to some component overheating? > Sorry for my english your english is fine. -- [ Jim Mercer jim@reptiles.org +1 416 506-0654 ] [ Reptilian Research -- Longer Life through Colder Blood ] [ Don't be fooled by cheap Finnish imitations; BSD is the One True Code. ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
