I have just put on some Dell 2650's with Dual Xeons on 4.9. In 5 years of running FreeBSD in a production environment, I had one wierd reboot a few years ago and that's all, until the Dells. The mail server has been up since September and it has rebooted once for no reason and the new file server has been done it three times in a month. i used to get 300 days and better of uptime with the old single-CPU systems, so this is sort of unnerving. Really, I used to take them down only for kernel upgrades and to blow out the dust! No log entries, no panic messages..just ...gone suddenly and rebooting. Seen anything like this at all with your Dual SMP Xeons? -Jim
