Hi, I'm not sure what exactly is going on with your machines, but I had the same problem running 3.3-R and 3.4-R on two different machines with the same RAM. Once we replaced the RAM, reboots stopped. Make sure you use quality RAM. If all failes, turn on kernel dump and see if you can take it from there. Usually, hardware is to blame for reboots. When kernel feels that the system is flaky and about to crash, it reboots it instead. PS: did you compile custom kernel? -Simon On Tue, 20 Jun 2000 10:16:04 +1000, Tim McCullagh wrote: >Hi All > >I have installed FreeBSD 4.0 on 3 machines a P2 a P3 and a pentium 166. >On each of these machines the system reboots itself between 1 and 3 days and >there is no reference or error message in /var/log/messages, other than the >"WARNING: / was not properly dismounted " .
