I changed the max users and continue to have the lockups, just as frequently. I also gutted the unused device drivers. Still know lock. One thing I did notice was on my linux system, which uses the same motherboard, its bootup sequence prints out a message regarding a lockup bug in the ethernet card, bypass applied. Since they both use the fxp0, ether100, I am wondering if that has anything to do with it. I have seen a few other complaints but nobody claiming a bug. Anybody know anything about this? -Mike >From: "Jason Sheets" <jsheets@shadonet.com> >To: "Mike Dorin" <bsd_mike@hotmail.com> >Subject: Re: Track down lockup problem >Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2001 13:41:29 -0600 > >If you are running 4.3 then you are actually running 4.3-stable.
