If you have the machine setup to save crash dumps (you have something like dumpdev="/dev/twed0s1b" in rc.conf right?) and it never saves one I would lean towards hardware as the cause. If you can hookup a serial console to it to log any panic's to the screen and if its always in a different location or you never see a panic message, this would further point to hardware. ---Mike At 11:59 AM 01/03/2004, Doug Silver wrote: >I recently brought up an old 700MHz P3 4.9 machine and added a 3ware IDE raid >card 7506-8 with 4 120Gb drives in a raid 5 array.
