Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I just installed FreeBSD 3.3 on my machine (AMD K6-2/350, EPoX EP-MVP4A motherboard [VIA MVP4 chipset], 128 MB RAM). (Actually, I am running 3.3-RC, `make world'ed about 1 week before release date) However, my machine is now crashing at least once a day, sometimes more than once a day. There is no regularity to the crashes, they seem to happen during periods of heavy use just as equally as during idle times. I've tried killing almost all of my daemons and servers, but that doesn't seem to help at all. I'm beginning to suspect hardware instability. HOWEVER, I have been reading some messages in freebsd-stable and there seem to be other people having stability problems with their boxen under 3.3, whereas the same hardware works perfectly under 3.2. So I'm wondering if there any known stability issues with 3.3-RC, and will a cvsup and upgrade to 3.3-STABLE help me out? Comments, anyone? Thanks!
