Also, a 512MB stick of RAM would cost me $1,600CAD. Sigh. That's not going to happen anytime soon. Furthermore, I stress tested each stick of RAM, with make -j64 buildworld. Nothing failed there. The panics happenned when the system was just doing its normal tasks. I'll try to post more detailed reports (including crash dumps). --Bart To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
