--Boundary-00=_nbsN/tZAooiKiZz Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Hi all! I'm having problems no end on my 4.8-STABLE box, and I hope you can help me. My processes get lots of signals (mostly 6, 10 and 11), and my kernel dumps core very often. I have the core dumps from the 4 latest crashes. See attachment for more info. Notice the common values for IdlePTD and initial pcb. Does this mean anything? There are other problems as well: 1) Some time ago KDE was hanging in disk wait state forever. 2) When rebuilding the world, make sometimes fails, but when I retry, it either works, or fails elsewhere. I have not seen this on -STABLE, only on 5.0-RELEASE (on the same computer). 3) Programs are frequently closing when they shouldn't, but without any signs that they recieved a signal. I haven't managed to catch one with gdb yet. 4) X11 (or KDE) locks up very often, only a hard reset brings the OS back. 5) The absolutely strangest thing I've ever seen happened today: The console screensaver was running, and when I pressed a key, everything locked up (I could not even ping the box). The view was locked to ttyv0, the cursor disappeared. When I tried to switch to another terminal (with ALT + Function key), it either beeped or did nothing. It was completely random, sometimes it beeped, sometimes not. I have already tested the memory (no errors). There weren't any problems with 4.6-RELEASE on my old box. FreeBSD is awesome, but why is it not working for me? Please help me. Daniela --Boundary-00=_nbsN/tZAooiKiZz--
