I've seen something similar on some small memory (4M) machines I've been trying to get running. I get lots of sig 11 (and sometimes sig 4, illegal instruction, etc.) and thought it was hardware, but swapping motherboards, cpu's, and memory didn't help. Going from 4MB to 5MB reduces, but doesn't eliminate, the problems. > > Is the 4 gig drive a Seagate barracuda? (yes for me, bt946c) > > > > Do you run alias ip's for 'virtual web sites'?

I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.0-R on a BEK-P405 PCI/ISA motherboard. Chipset is ALI. On-board super I/O, WD Caviar 2850 (IDE), two NE2000 clone EtherNet cards, ISA VGA card (usually), also login prompt enabled via on-board serial port. Sometimes booted diskless (in which case there seems to be more random proc death, though it happens either way). Swapfiles are big, at least 16Meg. -Archie _______________________________________________________________________________ Archie L.
