Pllllllllllllease. man...the same thing was happening to me a few months ago, so i went to the store to buy new ram, but all they carried were 256meg dimms, which was definitely more than i needed. i bought it anyway. it didn't do the trick. i came to discover that the reboots were happening because my power supply was cutting out due to the copious pile of cathair on the power supply intake vent. either cheap pc power supplies or cats should be more tolerant to overheating. -- caleb haley To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
