The ata info in I'm having similar problems, however mine are spurrious. They happen maybe 1 in 15 or so reboots. I'm seeing them on two kinds of machines, both alpha & i386. All the machines I'm seeing this on have serial consoles, but since about 95% of the machines I take care of do, they might not mean anything. I haven't seen it on a SCSI machine, but I'm not sure if that means anything either, since nearly all our machines boot from IDE disks. When they happen, the machine is unresponsive. It will ignore attempts to break into ddb. I'd have tried to debug it already, but its pretty damned hard to catch. Usually it only seems to happen when I reboot a machine from home & cannot walk up & hit the reset button. :-( Drew ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andrew Gallatin, Sr Systems Programmer http://www.cs.duke.edu/~gallatin Duke University Email: gallatin@cs.duke.edu Department of Computer Science Phone: (919) 660-6590 ######################################################################## i386: Asus P2BLS: ######################################################################## Copyright (c) 1992-1999 The FreeBSD Project.
