It's random no time interval or pattern and it's machine wasn't connected to the outside world yet no network activity going on it was idle. I noticed an earlier thread on Dec. 31 2004 posted by Tom Jensen. Seems I'm not the only one. It is really frustrating. This very same machine and hardware as is nothing changed used to work with no problem under 5.2.1 and earlier 5.x releases. I planned to upgrade to 5_3 and I got this crap at a very critical time. Someone would say supply more info about the hardware, dmesg etc.. I will after I know what is happening first. I installed 5.2.1 and kept the machine running for 3 days without any problem. It only happens on 5_3 raw install no apps no services running. ===== regards, "UNIX, it's a way of life." __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
