It took me a while to figure out what it was, when I had a reread of the config kernel info in the handbook I noticed this # For older non-PCI systems, these are the lines to use: #device ata0 at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14 #device ata1 at isa? port IO_WD2 irq 15 Which is uncommented as most things things are in the generic kernel file. Since my pc was a K6-2 PCI motherboard (which I had recently upgraded to) I commented them out did a full recompile and I NEVER had a reset since. The ones you should be using are device ata device atadisk # ATA disk drives If you do find this is your problem email me, because I would find it interesting to know :) ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Friday, June 30, 2000 7:53 PM Subject: random resets > i have installed freebsd-release 4.0 on this computer: > abit bp6 mb (only 1 processor now(500mhz)) - RU bios, > 128mb ram, udma/33. > > kernel compiling & stress tests was ok, but computer > sometimes 'resets' (cca. one or more times a day)... > no coredumps, etc... what can be a problem ? > bad hardware or freebsd vs. hardware stuff ? > i seems that linux (debian) & win98 was running OK. > > thanks > > milan > > Objevujte Internet s http://www.centrum.cz > Založte si svuj mail na http://mail.centrum.cz > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
