(It reboots if I was working with the bare unix-system and it freezes if I was working with *X*. Is that's youre problem? Try to enable the Kernel-Debugger and wait (not realy wait ...) for the message "... page fault while in kernel mode ...". On my PC this message comes up sometimes after minutes and sometimes after 15 hours. They changed nearly everything in my PC (the motherboard, the processor, the RAM , the HD and last but not least: the CACHE-Memory!!!) after all, my PC works fine with the same BSD-Release than before. I don't really know, but I could bet that it was the CACHE in my case. Maybe you could try to run your PC without the CACHE for a test. > >Thanks in advance for any help. > Hope that helps! :-) Ciao, Joachim. ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Joachim Jaeckel <Joachim.Jaeckel@d.kamp.net> Date: 13-Aug-97 Time: 00:16:17 This message was sent by XFMail ----------------------------------
