Thanks for the sentiment, at last I have been able to smile about =20 this problem - maybe we should start a support group ... I'll start =20 ... Hi, I'm John and I'm a failing sys admin, I haven't had a panic =20 for 2 hours now and I'm taking it just 1 tick at a time ;-) Just to share with the group, I had an email from Kris off of the list =20 that made a lot of sense. I'm beginning to agree with him that it is =20 probably a hardware issue. I'll go quiet now and spend some money on =20 different hardware. For anyone who finds this thread on Google, I can =20 only echo Michael's comments - the thing that makes these panics so =20 infuriating is that even with dodgy old hardware FreeBSD has always =20 proven to be a very stable OS for me and as you can see, the community =20 is always willing to help. Thanks to all that have spent time on this issue for me. John ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
