I had a 4.0-RELEASE system that started locking up once every few days after I added a second Ethernet card to it. Didn't reboot, it scribbled all over the display memory and froze until I hit the reset button. The problem went away when I upgraded to a fairly recent -STABLE. Since you are using it as a gateway, I assume you have two NICs, so I suspect we both had the same problem. Try upgrading to -STABLE (or wait a few days and install 4.1). - Bob -- > > Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 12:51:22 -0400 > From: Daniel Fisher <daniel.fisher@vt.edu> > Subject: random rebooting > > Has anyone had any trouble with release 4.0 randomly rebooting. > I have a P233 that within the last month will restart itself for no apparent > reason. > My first guess was the power supply, so I replaced that, but it did not fix the > problem. > Before I go and replace the motherboard or my RAM, I thought I'd ask if anyone > had experienced any problems like this. > This machine acts as a gateway for my cable modem. > It has 1 3 gig hard drive, 2 ovislink ne2000 NICs, floppy drive, cdrom drive, > & ATI graphics card. > No SCSI at all. > I'm running a few services on it...like apache, samba, cvs, ntpd, > I also have dumpdev turned on, but i never see any core dumps when this occurs. > > The system reports: > /kernel: real memory = 100663296 (98304K bytes) > /kernel: avail memory = 94269440 (92060K bytes) > which looks normal for 1 64MB stick and 1 32MB stick. > > Any ideas, comments, suggestions would be appreciated... > > - -- > Daniel Fisher > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
