It works perfect for everything except tasks like setiathome, distributed.net and other computational programs. I even setup a sample Java servlet that computes primes over 1 quadrillion and it did the same thing the setiathome and distributed.net clients did. It kernel panics and reboots. I haven't been able to figure out any pattern to how long the program will run before it kills the machine. It will typically crash within 10 minutes. I'm not overclocking or doing anything exotic BIOS settings or jumpers. Is there something I can do to get more detailed information about death of the machine? What could it be doing that would actually kill the kernel? On a slightly related note I have a Windows 98 box with an AMD K6-333 on an Asus P5A with nothing fancy BIOS or jumper wise that has some similar problems with the same programs. It's nowhere near as graceful dealing with them though. Matt matt@snsnet.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
