I believe the system board is their Thunder MB. eren@opensourcestorage.com can give full system specs (reference AMD system from Ray Johns) >Description: This has happened twice. First time, I installed FreeBSD 5.3 AMD64 on the server (it's an eval server from eren@opensourcestorage.com). Everything goes fine. I log into the machine, make some changes to my shell/prompt, no problems. I ftp an updated ports.tar.gz from ftp.freebsd.org to the machine, no problem. As root, I cd /usr then issue rm -r ports/ so that I can remove the ports tree and untar the new ports and the system crashes/locks. on the console, there are error messages. I took a photo of them here: http://www.redshift.com/~ray/amd/ I contacted opensourcestorage and they sent a replacement SCSI drive (it's a maxtore 18GB). I installed the new drive, reloaded FreeBSD again and the system crashed again at the exact same spot when I issued rm -r ports >How-To-Repeat: install FreeBSD AMD64, delete ports directory >Fix: none at this time. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
