With a UDMA33 drive I only got errors under heavy load (like massive builds). But if you don't see any error messages I guess UDMA is not the problem. Did you check + measure the cables like I suggested? A re-read of your original post reveals it's a k6 450. Touch the CPU heatsink. If you burn your finger that's the problem :) Seriously tho' there were problems with one of the k6 chips, but it's so long ago I can't remember clearly whether it's the 450. What's the core voltage printed on the chip, and what's the M/B core voltage set to. There should also be a revision number. While you do that I'll see if I can find the info. If I'm correct there were two versions with different core voltages - one of which was suspect. Anyone remember this? What brand is the mobo, maybe someone else has one. > > Is there any way from an installed 4.4.0 system to tell if I'm running > into this kstack problem definatively? > > -- > Keith Mitchell > Email: kmitch@guru.org PGP key available upon request > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message -- ian j hart To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
