Well, it appears that the problem has disappeared. With a June 17 kernel (although the installed /kernel says June 23, so it's _somewhere_ in there) the problems, intermittent hangs and hard freezes, are gone completely. I've reinstalled dnetc and will be rerunning it, but as I've been banging the CPUs heavily with video processing, I don't expect a problem. Now, what changed??? Not that I'm complaining, mind you. -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
