-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have an amd64-3000 on a Abit motherboard, 1G ram, satadisk and it works nice enough on 32-bitmode winxp, but I can't get it to be stable in either fbsd5.2 nor the recent 5.2.1RC. One of the things that makes it crash for sure is the /usr/ports/benchmarks/ubench program. It does the cpu-test and prints those results and then when it gets to test "memory speed" in part 2, it always dies on me. Of course, other activities related to recently-installed systems makes it crash too. I thought it could have been the sk-ethernet that was the culprit, since post-installation-stuff for me includes getting bash/emacs, cvs:ing and so on and that 5.2.1RC might fix that, but the ubench program uses no network afaik. So I am wondering, is it the same for other socket754-amd64-users and what can I do? Serial console to pick up crash dumps? Turn on more verbose crash-report stuff somehow? build an even more recent kernel? Turn off smp-support (I have only one cpu) or power-saving stuff in the bios? Turn on Cool-n-quiet (some mhz-altering stuff as I gather) or move from SATA to scsi in case that would be part of the problem? Advice needed. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAILZyKWyDo3z7ubcRAn4LAJ4kue4dlTK3FbQz80nxVkugtbQFGgCeMugj usp+7qU9ZurRldIGH9sXBJ4= =+9EN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
