Grr, still getting used to mutt, and I didn't reply to the list. Yes, I'm using an SMP board, and waiting on the arrival of the 2nd processor. It boots up and runs fine. > Before pointing any fingers at softupdates, etc...

Yup, I've "fallen back to" a UP kernel, which hasn't crashed at all, and I've done the same thing (rm -rf, cvs update) many more times than were required to crash the SMP kernel. Before I try this again, I'll have a second processor in there.. - alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
