I have been reading the You sure that your hardware isn't broken? This sounds like the symptoms that I had on a system which had a semi-functional mother board. Its average uptime was between 3 and 20 days. I saw it page fault and reboot often enough to make me wonder where the legendary stability of Unix was. (This was with 2.2.1 and 2.2.5 when I was new to FreeBSD.) I discovered the problem when I shut down the system for a day to look for bad RAM. Turned out the whole darn mother board was probably screwed, especially the BIOS and some of the I/O. FWIW, I'm running 4.1-Stable on several computers right now (including a Pentium 90 with a mod_perl BBS on it) and haven't seen a single problem yet. They're both running beautifully. Until I tried to get Cyrus to work on it, that is. :) Jaime To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
