I try to "Ctrl + Alt + F1" (or any of the F keys) that will now consistently locks up the machine. If I am quick enough with "Ctrl + Alt + Backspace" or "Ctrl + Alt + Del" (or ssh from another machine) I can at least get it to reboot without a fsck on startup. Unfortunately, if I am too slow it hangs indefinitely. I have had to just power it off several times now and of course it then complains about / not being unmounted properly etc. etc. Yes, this probably contributes to some of my problems earlier but when I was running make buildworld from single user mode it still crashed and despite all the help I have gotten here I still have not managed to capture a crash dump. So, I am running 5.3-STABLE (from yesterday) and all my ports/packages are up to date and if I forget I cant switch to a terminal while I experiment with fluxbox or KDE I will always lock up the machine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Rick -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.300 / Virus Database: 265.6.12 - Release Date: 1/14/2005
