I'd been very stable on 5.3-stable on AMD64, unless I was using gdb, in which case I would get reboots pretty regularly as of a couple of months ago. Never managed to reproduce that in console, but didn't try too hard. However, I just updated to 6-current, and within 5 minutes got a reboot. Note that there has been some discussion that panicing while in X may equal reboot these days, though I don't understand why that would be. -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org
