Nothing in the logfiles gives any hints. 800 MHz Athlon and Asus A7V, plain old PC133 memory, unknown CAS (let the BIOS read it off the stick). This system would lockup usually 30 minutes into a heavy load such as "make -j4 buildworld", which is a 55 minute job. The variable time between freezes was such that it could complete about 1 in 5. Started surfing the BIOS config. The last thing I changed before finding stability said something about PCI 2.2 standard in the comments in the printed manual, said nothing on the screen. I disabled it as all my PCI cards are pre-2.2. System has been rock solid since. And I buildworld several times per week just to make sure. All the while running the dnetc client. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
