A while ago I posted the request for some encouragement to switch from Windows 2k Server/Exchange to FreeBSD. I have *really* enjoyed my time with FreeBSD thus far; you can see exactly what's going on (or find out eventually), and there isn't that mysterious disk activity when nothing is happening--it's an honest operating system. I have run into some trouble recently, though, and was wondering if anyone might have suggestions. The system seems to freeze with no messages or error logs once or twice a day. When it freezes, the hd activity light illuminates and stays lit. Pre-BSD I did not experience any troubles with the exact same hardware. I'm wondering if it is a hardware probe that is causing my troubles or possibly my bios settings. The system: AMD 600 Athlon ABIT MB 256 MB Ram (2) Maxtor Drives IDE (on one channel, one master, one slave) (2) Linksys ethernet cards, only one in use with static ip, the other is not configured No X FreeBSD 4.2, sshd, sendmail, apache I appreciate your help with this. It was frozen this morning, but did have the standard two Charlie Root emails, so it was running until at least 2am. Thank you, Henry __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
