(Intel) | Symptoms were remarkably similar, seemingly random panics (sig11). | At first we thought it was RAM, but the memory checked out good, | then we thought it might be a heat issue, so we pulled the cover | and got some fans blowing on it, this helped a bit.

That is what I wanted to do but can't get the floppy to boot:-( It works but will not boot under any circumstances. It'll boot from the cd, the hd and network but not the floppy. I'm going to have to bring it up with a windows cd, I guess, and then flash the bios from the floppy. thanks for your help, ed | | Sam | | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org | with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message | --- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
