So today I went and bought 4 4m30p simms and it still did the same darn thing, So I got to digging in CMOS and low and behold what did I find! Wait state = 0 I set it to 1 and I have yet to have a unwanted re-boot! Thats was ~12 hours ago. I was *very* lucky to go 30 minutes when compiling before! I hated rebuilding kernels! I would have to go single and it would make it through about 2 times out of 5.. I wound up building kernels on a nfs mounted 16meg 386-40 (HOT-307) The part that really burns me is I ASSUMED that It was as always! A wait state of 1. What it should be. And I had been tweeking the cache and various other settings always overlooking the wait state! Arrrg! There was another good side, I got a call this afternoon for 4 4m30p simms, I sold em.. :) I don't stock 30 pinners anymore! -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge...
