Hello. I've recently faced a rather odd issue that I've never seen before. I bought a new server (specs below), and I loaded it up with FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE (I know, I know, not for a production environment, but this is a personal server). Now, whenever I get about 30 simultaneous connections, the box just locks hard. I tested all the hardware components (CPU, Memory, HD, NIC, etc.) and even bought new ones just to make sure and all end up with the same result. I can never keep a decent uptime (never went past 2 days so far). As soon as I get a mediocre http load (30 simul. connections), the box just locks hard. I built a debug kernel, I tried everything imaginable, and I have not found a solution whatsoever. Everyone seems to be stumped by this. I tried FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE, 4.7-STABLE, 5.0-RELEASE and 5.0-CURRENT on this box. All give me the same result. I checked everywhere for relevant logs to explain what is occuring, but had no such luck. This is truly the million dollar question for me right now, because I have no idea why it would lock under such a petty load. I'm not sure what to do to fix this issue, I've tried many different areas for support and haven't come up with anything as I stated earlier. I'm not overclocking or anything if that's what you're wondering. If anyone could assist me in any way shape or form to get this working, I would appreciate it very very much. Also, if you e-mail back, I'm not subscribed to the lists, so could you please CC it to me. In the past 4 hours, it has locked hard about 3 times because of a 28-34 connection load.
