This of course doesn't mean it's not a hardware problem. I'll know for sure in a couple of days I guess (if it keeps crashing with strange errors). Kernel/world is compiled only with standard flags. Nothing in make.conf except "CPUTYPE?=athlon-xp" (which means -O2 is used). I reverted back to a non-debug kernel a few weeks ago when the makefiles were changed to only use -O for debug-kernels. However, after switching mpsafenet back on (replaced NFS (which locked up for me with mpsafenet) with geom_gate) I have some spare cycles to burn on the machine. I might as well use a debug-kernel in case this isn't a hardware problem. /Daniel Eriksson
