I've been running three machines (including this one) on a local snapshot of -current (my present one is about 2-3 weeks old) and decided that it might help some hanging problems I had with a fourth. Unfortunately, this machine is also the most heavily loaded (with PPP dial-ins) and continues to stop dead .. no reboot .. nothing :-( Yet none of my other machines do this. It's a UMC 486DX/33, 16 meg of RAM, a gig of SCSI, all serial ports are 16550AFN .. however, the kernel is compiled with "-O2 -m486 -fno-strength-reduce" .. is this compilation likely to cause me this much pain or should I start looking more closely at the hardware ? I've already tried adding wait states to the cache, to main memory, reduced the BusLogic's DMA rate .. it's now slower than my 386DX/40 and I'm running out of options .. :-( michael
