I started with 2.2.5 and have cvsup'd all along to 2.2.8-stable. This is a production machine, and I've never had any problems. I've even ran some pretty strange hardware in this machine, and still no problems. So one of my NT-die-hard friends wants to set up a production web server to be co-located. I talk him into trying FBSD 2.2.8 because it is so much better. He buys the 4-disc set plus book from WC and installs. A couple of glitches during install, but no real hangups. We get it installed and everything seems to work ok except when doing an 'su', it signal 11's. We try a few things... Swap memory, etc... Nothing seems to work. So, being that he is well funded, he buys a whole new box. A PII 350, 256M RAM, 9G SCSI Fujitsu, 2940UW adaptec, Intel ether express pro+ 10/100. Not sure what video card. And he still gets a signal 11 when doing an 'su'. Nothing else that we've tried gives us a signal 11, not even a 'make buildworld'. Has anyone seen this? What else should we try? I'm having a real hard time keeping him enthused about FBSD. I have to keep sending him little bits of news that I find that relates to how much better FBSD is than NT (hehe). -- Later Science (efinley@efinley.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
