Anybody else experiencing hard lockups with a recent 5.3-BETA? I can manage to build and install a kernel if I hold my breath while doing it, but I can't make it through a buildworld without the system locking up hard enough to require a manual reset (thank goodness for iLO and its virtual reset button :-). The hardware I'm working on is a HP Proliant DL380 G3, with dual 2.8GHz Xeons, 2GB RAM, and using the on-board SmartArray 5i+ controller with six 72GB 10KRPM disks in a RAID5 configuration. Everything worked fine at first, even went through a few kernels+worlds and plenty of port builds over the last month, but within the last week or so these hard lockups started happening during kernel/world builds (probably any moderate load would do). I thought maybe something might have gone wrong with the hardware so I ran the HP Diagnostics on it for 24 hours in a continuous loop and everything went fine.
