man... that has got to be the longest line i've ever seen ::). consider an enter key now and again. you've tested a great many peripherals and environments. what is it that is staying static throughout your tests? the one particular drive with the root dir on it? i'd install the src distros from the cdrom, and then run mergemaster(8) to see if there's any weird configuration difference. also, how did you install via ftp if the machine crashes as soon as there's network activity? or is this problem only present after the install process? -Adam >> (10.06.2002 @ 1811 PST): abe said, in 2.8K: << > > Hello, > > I've got a rather odd issue, but not unique from what I've seen on > other threads (whose solutions unfortunately did not work).
