It could be heat-related, or you could just have flaky hardware. I've been running FreeBSD 4.10-BETA on my Dual 1.8GHz Opteron with 2GB ECC RAM without the slightest problem. I've even stress-tested it by putting both /usr/src and /usr/obj on memory filesystems and then doing a continuous loop of -j4 buildworlds. That went on for over 24 hours with no problems. 11 minutes per buildworld is pretty neat, too. :-) -- Chris Dillon - cdillon(at)wolves.k12.mo.us FreeBSD: The fastest, most open, and most stable OS on the planet - Available for IA32, IA64, AMD64, PC98, Alpha, and UltraSPARC architectures - PowerPC, ARM, MIPS, and S/390 under development - http://www.freebsd.org Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
