However, as mentioned, the same machine runs nicely with Kubuntu 8.10/amd64. Now, I do know this is is everything but a "proof" that the Hardware is OK; however, to me this is is kind of "indicator" that the problem might be lying "more" on the FreeBSD-side than on the Hardware-side. I did run Kubuntu for I think ~3 weeks w/o any Problems; I also use KDE 4 on Kubuntu, Firefox 3, Thunderbird, ... on Kubuntu. When booting into FreeBSD the System dies ~2 times/week (as mentioned, it might run 5 days in a row w/o trouble and then crash every day or even several times/day for a fews days). > You might want to look into this as well: > > >> pid 1215 (nepomukservicestub), uid 1001: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) >> Well, that seems to be Strigi; it doesn't run on Kubuntu, too (but it does run fine on Gentoo). However, I might/should turn Nepomuk off completely. Wanted to give the Semantic Desktop try but it seems it's not ready for me, yet ;-) Thanks again; as mentioned I will swap PSs (have an identical one in another machine) - however, I'm afraid this won't solve the crashes/reboots :-( Cheers, _ralf_
