I reciently upgraded my machine to a k5/90 and I'm still having problems... granted the mb isn't an Intel, but I was still able to crash the machine by doing nothing... of course do to the way FreeBSD will randomly sync out buffers, it still might be caused by bus being tied up... I readlly have no idea what my be causing the lock ups... but my gut says it's related to the scsi card... once I upgrade my scsi controler I'll try again... Bernie, are you running multiblock ide? and if so have you tried to turn it off? just a thought... but Ximages mode does work nicely... -- John-Mark Gurney Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Cu Networking Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
