Suspiciously I think each time the freeze occurred was when using (linux) ELF netscape with ELF world and Xfree. The very last crash happened when the disk was fairly idle, just scrolling around in netscape. However it never froze the comp before CAM :/ I noticed some commits about atlas II quirks, what do they mean? Also, is there anything else I can try to help diagnose the problem? Not much I can do once it's crashed, cant even ping it. PS. I've been cvsup'ing and compiling world and kernel approx. daily to keep up to date on sources.
