I had three boxes running -stable. Two freshly installed, and very stable. Tbe other, with a more chequered history, wasn't. Certain actions would usually panic it. Setting up the kernel configuration from scratch, using GENERIC and LINT as a base, fixed the instability for me. An action I believe Mike has recommended more than once in the last couple of months. So, the user error of misconfiguring your kernel can result in instability. -- Adrian Wontroba To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
