My FreeBSD-Stable-3.0 machine has been spontaneously rebooting every few
hours now for the last few weeks. I do routine build worlds to try and
avoid this, but it still does it. There have been very few complaints about
this, so I have been suspecting my hardware. However, I have not been able
to find any errant hardware. I have noticed a few people on the lists
complain of the same problem, all the way back to 3.0-RELEASE. As of this
morning the machine has not rebooted in 12 hours, which is nearly a record.
However, there is one difference, I put Linux on there in the hopes of
either getting a more verbose hardware message or whatever, I don't know
what I hoped. I can say that it has displayed no symptoms since the
"downgrade". Anyway, there is obviously something going on here that shows
up on other peoples' machines from time to time that I hope does not make it
into the release. Here is my hardware configuration if it matters:
486 DX4 - 100MHz
20 MB Memory
220MB Hard-Drive
325MB Hard-Drive
2 - Linksys Ethernet ISA Cards (new)
I suspect the issue is with the driver for the Linksys cards (ed0), as it
would sometimes reboot as soon as I made a connection to the box via telnet
or ssh, other times it would reboot when transfering alot of data across the
network or from the Internet.
