I do routine build worlds to try and avoid this, but it still does it. There have been very few complaints about this, so I have been suspecting my hardware. However, I have not been able to find any errant hardware. I have noticed a few people on the lists complain of the same problem, all the way back to 3.0-RELEASE. As of this morning the machine has not rebooted in 12 hours, which is nearly a record. However, there is one difference, I put Linux on there in the hopes of either getting a more verbose hardware message or whatever, I don't know what I hoped. I can say that it has displayed no symptoms since the "downgrade". Anyway, there is obviously something going on here that shows up on other peoples' machines from time to time that I hope does not make it into the release. Here is my hardware configuration if it matters: 486 DX4 - 100MHz 20 MB Memory 220MB Hard-Drive 325MB Hard-Drive 2 - Linksys Ethernet ISA Cards (new) I suspect the issue is with the driver for the Linksys cards (ed0), as it would sometimes reboot as soon as I made a connection to the box via telnet or ssh, other times it would reboot when transfering alot of data across the network or from the Internet.
