When I run the portupgrade ports 'portsdb -Uu' command I get a consistant reboot every time. The only way I've managed to get it to work is to nice the command and run a lot of other stuff in order to slow it down. Obviously this command shouldn't be able to reboot the machine on it's own, so there must be a deeper problem. Oh yeah, it's on an Abit KT7-Raid with a 1GHz athlon, 300W PSU and more cooling than you can shake a stick at. I'm running a fairly recent 4.4-Stable.
