You would look less like an idiot if you could demonstrate some minor competence -- for instance, if your email had the correct date on it instead of something in the middle of next week, people might believe that you had set up your machine properly. As it is, given the number of cases where it is clear that people have shot themselves in the foot by faulty upgrades from 2.x, I'd suggest that the most likely thing is something like that. If you want help you have no alternative to following the advice that has been posted here often enough already, together with making very sure that you have a coherent installation and a sane kernel config. I've been running 3.1-R on a test machine (which I'm using for software development) since the day my subscription CDs arrived and it has not crashed once. The maximum uptime so far is 17 days because I have to install experimental kernels from time to time, but so far it looks as solid as my 2.2.8 boxes, all of which have run non-stop since 15 February when I last rebuilt their kernels. -- Greg Black <gjb@acm.org> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
