Hmmm, unfortunately this has been happening to me the last few days... Problem being that I have tested my hardware extensively lately because NT used to BSoD me (bad memory). Everything in this box is all tested. It was a CURRENT kernel from around the 15th/16th. It appeared to be working and then as soon as I started accessing pages on the web or trying to dial in it would appear to do it's job, then all of a sudden the mouse freezes and after a few secs the whole thing reboots. I have checked all the fans and I know it's almost not a hardware problem as this kernel from yesterday (18th) works perfectly... No reset yet... Mayhaps somehow a brother of the Dying Daemons? --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai(at)wxs.nl | Cum angelis et pueris, Junior Network/Security Specialist | fideles inveniamur *BSD & picoBSD: The Power to Serve...
