It seems to 'randomly reboot', like it did just five minutes ago. At first I thought these were related to I/O or so (FTP transfers would cause lockups/reboots, watching movies too, though I suspect this is an mplayer stability issue), but now they just seem to occur whenever they feel like. My uptime before the last one was just above three days, the longest I've had it running. Additionally (and this might be the source of the problem, I don't know), my ATA100 controller is only recognized as ATA33, dmesg output: atapci0: port 0xff00-0xff0f at device 2.5 on pci0 I saw a thread on -hackers a few weeks ago that might resolve the controller issue, but I'm not sure. Any pointers or hints would be appreciated (or if I in some way can give you necessary information, please tell me). Sorry about the rather lame report, I haven't had time to dig around though.
