I've cvs'upped to 4.5-PRERELEASE recently to see if the problems went away. Stability seemed to have improved while running X but still those total lockups. There where no stability issues whatsoever when not running X. Now I did something completely different: I flashed my bios to version 1013 and turned on MPS 1.4 support. (It was bios rev# 1008B and MPS 1.1) has http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=7960+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2001/freebsd-smp/20010603.freebsd-smp anything to do with it ? The system hasn't hung ever since...
