Can you help me diagnose a problem that I seem to have with Free BSD.
I installed FreeBSD from src.doc.ic.ac.uk early in May and have used it for
the past few weeks. My problem is this: at seemingly random times and
without notice the computer reboots. (As if the reset button was pressed).
This problem does NOT occur in DOS, and so I think that there may be a
software problem in BSD.
Do you know of any bug which may cause this, or have you had any similar
reports ?
Free BSD is installed on a brand new hard drive, set up to be the slave drive
in a two drive IDE system. The hard drive, being new, is a potential source
of the problem. Do you have any thoughts on this ? If I can't solve the
problem then I'm going to have to remove the BSD partitions and see if the
drive behaves itself in DOS.
Thank you very much for any help which you can offer.
Martin Miles.
