A followup: the same problem happened a second time after rebooting. But this time, all the new processes exit on sig 10. Strangely, the first process to crash both times was sed. I don't think this is a PAO problem, but maybe it's worth noting that I used the 2.2.6 PAO (since PAO had pccard support) to install FBSD 2.2.7 over the net. I've since recompiled the kernel a couple times and I didn't add any of the special PAO options during the initial install, but I'm cc-ing mobile just in case someone can comment. Any help would be *much* appreciated! If this is a hardware problem -- how can I prove it?! thanks, -d David Kulp writes: > Last week I installed FBSD 2.2.7 on an IBM ThinkPad 365.
