Yeah, I've had that happening on my server (PPro 200MHz overclocked to 240MHz). I *think* it started happening after I added an HPT hard drive controller card but I'm not sure, it was a while ago. The problem hasn't occurred for a long while, in fact I'd forgotten all about it until I read your post (I didn't report it since my machine is overclocked). > Normally I would put this down to flaky hardware and not bother > mentioning it here.

With me it was under -RELEASE of some vintage. --Jon http://www.witchspace.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
