First thing I noticed is that my splash screen caused the video controller to go strange (made the monitor sing as well). Then within a couple of minutes the machine had rebooted. I rebooted and bypasssed the loader to remove the splash screen. Within a couple of minutes I got a page fault while in supervisor mode (write to page not present). The machine is SMP (dual P133MHz) which may make a difference. My home machine which is running a very similar vintage has been stable. Since I can repeat this I'm going to try getting a crash dump. However I suspect that anybody else running SMP will find it similarly easy to reproduce. Has anybody else noticed the IDE disk flackyness lately? One one machine I have a ccd mirror, and on another machine a vinum mirror. If I hit these filesystems heavily it's a garantee to lock, no panic, virtual console switching works, ping works, but everything stops. On the ccd mirror machine I backup the root filesystm using dd, it's completely reproducable to lock the machine by dd from rwd0s1 to wd2s1, the file stats by dd get printed but I never get a prompt back. I think the -stable tag went on way to early.
