Hi,

I'm quite desperate for help on this machine now :

It's a :

Pentium 90
Gigabyte Triton motherboard
32MB RAM
4GB Seagate Hawk
1GB IBM SCSI
1GB Quantum SCSI
1.2GB Maxtor EIDE
NCR SCSI Controller
256k Trident ISA video card
ISA NE2000 card.

This machine will either randomly reboot or lock up.  When it locks I can
switch vty's but not login (no password comes up), I can open some ports
that inetd isn't control of, but I can't telnet in or anything.

I've replaced :

CPU, Motherboard twice, Memory twice.  Some of the drives have been added
during the time that's I've had problems.

All motherboards have been Triton based (inc. ASUSTek).  I'm beginning to
wonder if it's the NE2000 because 2 other FreeBSD machines I had also locked
up like this sometimes, and both had NE2000's.  However, I've since used
them less (lower loads) and they're working fine.

This has happened in -release, -960303-SNAP and now in -stable.

I have patched the system correctly.

Could anyone please suggest what I could do to fix this.

Here is my dmesg :
