Hi ! I think I found out, why my system crashed so frequently. Hardware problems, as some of you already said. But not the AHA 2940 or RAM chips ... no. The CPU ! I clocked down my Pentium P90 CPU to 75 MHZ (50 x 1.5) and now everything seems to work fine. I'll replace the P90, since it's within the warranty. Puh ! 3 weeks of hard work to track that down. I'm happy that I can tell you, that FreeBSD 2.0.5R sources compiled this time successfully and even the FreeBSD stable sources this evening. During the two make worlds I ran the Harddisk at 10MB/sec. No SCSI timeout problems ! So no trouble with 4GB drives at 10MB anymore ... for me so far... Thanks for your responses ! Sorry, that I didn't answer to all of you directly, but it's because of the brokenness of my system these days. I didn't save all mails ... etc Many thanks to you all !
