Hi...
Just had another system freeze up, after a shocking 5+ days
uptime. That, I think, is a record so far for this kernel :(
FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE #4: Sat Mar 16 17:16:06 EST 1996
Essentially, the system does a bunch of disk thrashing (I believe
its thrashing while it unbatches news, but am not 100% certain that that is
what it is doing), then it grinds to a complete halt.
I can change VT's, but that is about it.
The system consists of:

The NCR SCSI controller I'm using in this machine is the
ASUS SC-200 NCR SCSI controller, and the SCSI drives are all internal
currently.
I know there have been others that are reporting the same problem,
so it isn't limited to my machine alone :(
Now, CTL-ALT-ESC does get me down to DDB, and I can do a trace
from there, so don't know if that will help any when it does it. If so,
please let me know and I'll grab as much info out of that next time as
possible.
I'm really not using anything that can be construed as "odd",
I don't think.
Thanks...
