Marinos, In my experience with these things, such errors are almost invariably hardware problems. In the case you are seeing, I'd bet on a memory problem. The VM system in FreeBSD can really pound memory and bring out bugs. If you have more than one memory board, try moving them around and see if the errors change. Try pulling one and then another to see if things clear up when the bad board is pulled. This is how I isolated the same problem with my new K6-3/450. Power supplies can also cause this, but I'd bet on a flaky DIMM. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
