Hi, Not sure if this is the same problem that I had, or if mine was another problem, but either way, maybe it will help. I have shell server that is running ~65 IP addresses on my rl0 ethernet card, a single Pentium 600Mhz, 512MB RAM, IDE HDD and it was running 4.1.1-R. I had allready cleaned out the kernel and had been using that same versions on my systems at home, never having a problem. However, once I installed it on this shell box, it started to act up. I would see spontaneous reboots. There would be no message about the box going down in /var/log/*, only notice I would have is processes pinging out and when I logged back in, a 0 uptime. The system also wanted to reboot when I hit the system/bus hard. I once did a rm -rf /usr/ports and the admin at the colo facility said the hdd was running like crazy and then nothing. It would just go dead. The machine would freeze, leave no message except for Page Fault on root's console. We changed RAM and no better. Finally I just took the time, CVS'upped, ran a make world to 4.2-S and havent had a problem yet. I am now upto a 10 day uptime after re-cvsupping the other day. Maybe this is what you should try.
