Howdy,

Over the last couple of days I have been seeing some strange things
with my FreeBSD workstation, and was wondering if anyone could help
shed some light on it.

% uname -a
FreeBSD corrupt.network-alchemy.com 4.2-STABLE FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #0:
Tue Nov 21 14:38:25 PST 2000
mruhl@corrupt.network-alchemy.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CORRUPT  i386

Here are the symptoms:

1) Random reboots.  There are no messages in /var/log/messages or
dmesg.  The machine just reboots.

2) xterms go away for no apperent reason (serveral times over the last
several days).  If there is a core file somewhere, I can't find it.

3) xmms goes away for no apperent reason (twice so far).

Up until this week, I have been pretty rock steady.

Could this be an indication of a hardware failure?

Thanks!

Mike
