Is the machine by any chance an Abit BP6 with dual Celeron's? I recently solved my lockups (check the archives, also in the -smp list, for details) by slightly increasing the processor voltage. The machine was not overclocked, but it would crash at irregular intervals, with an average uptime of about 1 week. The lockups I got sound exactly the same as the ones you describe: not even Ctrl-Alt-Esc works. I increased the processor voltage from 2.00 to 2.05 volts in the bios and the problem has gone away. The Abit BP6 mainboards have a history of power stabilization problems. Hope this helps, Dave Boers. -- djb@ifa.au.dk d.j.boers@tn.utwente.nl PGP Key: ftp://relativity.student.utwente.nl/pub/pgpkeys/djb.asc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
