H E L P ! I've been reading all about the problem that may exist with xl0 in 3.1-Stable and feel that upgrading from 3.1-Release is a bad idea since I only run only the xl0 interfaces... Plus the VM problems in 3.1-Stable!!!! My system reboots... no relevant messages in /var/log/messages.... no warning... no apparent reason... (there are no hardware problems)! This is the primary, key, production server... and things are going from bad to worse! H E L P !
