If you are tracking -stable, then there is a lot of good reason to keep an eye the freebsd-stable mailing list. Particularly when something like this comes up. If you check that mailing list over the past week or so, several different people have experienced similar problems, and have been discussing it. The most promising info is in recent messages from Tor.Egge@fast.no in the thread "Hard lockups since cvsup'ing Jul 1st. Help!". It looks like he's got patches to fix the problem most people have been running into. I don't think they have been committed yet, but the patches are there (in the messages) if you want to try them. Given how unreliable your system is, you'd probably have to boot using "kernel.old" or boot into single-user mode to compile things with these patches applied. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
