I have had this case on one machine running FreeBSD 5.4, it would happen = intermittently, but after replacing the power supply it appears to have = resolved the issue. Also, once I noticed this problem with MegaRac G2 = remote management card installed! However, when you've upgraded to FreeBSD 6.0, did you test the system = extensively for long period of time before upgrading to 6.1-RC ? If it = worked well in 6.0 and stopped working in 6.1, I've to lean towards SW = issue assuming all things remained the same. Tamouh
