Mine is a 5x86, 48MB RAM, NCR > 875 and a couple of ed0 cards.... Well, for now the common factor are a 486-class CPU and the ed0 card. My machine was running just fine (without any reboots) under 2.2.8. As soon as I put 3.0 (-CURRENT at that time) on the box, the spontaneous reboots started. And it would be an incredible coincidence that my RAM would be broken at the same time I upgraded the machine ;) >From the above data, the culprit could either be the 486-class CPU or the network card. But as I don't use the network card, I suspect the CPU. Is anyone with a 586 or 686-class CPU seeing the spontaneous reboots with 3.0-STABLE or 4.0-CURRENT?
