I've got a 4.2-STABLE box on a remote site that did exactly the same. I took out the SMB and I2C stuff from the kernel, and the spontaneous reboots stopped. Have upgraded it to 4.5-STABLE, no reboots so far. > A hunch tells me that it has something to do with the > filesystem changes included with 4.5 and softupdates. Hmmm... I was able to reliably trigger the reboots by doing 'make world' or 'make buildworld' and so forth. The reboots occurred at random though, and once or twice the compile process completed. :-\ -- Juha Take off every sig!
