Although I'm really not sure what's causing it. Has anyone seen the problems go away? I really notice the problem when I'm using some more memory intensive apps like JRE or Mozilla Firefox, etc.. Does having a debugging version of the kernel help at all to diagnose these issues? -george ----- Original Message ----- From: "DrVince" Newsgroups: mpc.lists.freebsd.current,muc.lists.freebsd.current Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 8:02 AM Subject: Re: 5.2-CURRENT constantly crashing > On Thu, 22 Jul 2004 11:23:53 +0200, Jan Lentfer wrote > > i am running 5.2-CURRENT on an old 4x PPRO (200) Amdahl EnVista Server. > > The system is constantly crashing under heavy load for about 2-3 > > month now.
