Hello We have two IBM PS/VP 486 dx 33 we use as gateways and NIS/DNS/Web servers without any problems. Now we're having problems with another one which is acting as gateway only. The problem: the computer freezes and only a cold restart brings it up again, sometimes we need two or more cold restarts because it hangs during daemon inntializations (randomly). Someone from IBM sugested: 1) Changing the Ether cards to upper/down slots 2) Changing the motherboard :-/ Due the messages: Mar 4 13:16:54 styx /kernel: ed1: NIC memory corrupt - invalid packet length 54671 Mar 4 13:23:19 styx /kernel: ed1: NIC memory corrupt - invalid packet length 54671 I'm running 2.1.0-R on it, it has 16M ram, a WD Caviar and two NE2000 ISA clones. This computer used to have 60-70 days uptimes (with 1.1.5,2.0.5 and no problems with 2.1.0) before we added the second Ethernet. We believe it is a hardware problem because the other two computer have a heavy load and have no problems, but we would like to diagnose it before we go to a new motherboard/computer. Question: what would be the best way to find out what is hanging the machine? Thanks Pedro
