Thanks to those who've helped so far. I thought we were onto something, but ... > I just ran lmmon (lmmon -i) and got outrageously high readings: 185C, > varying. Yet the heat sink isn't even warm. Assuming that lmmon can > be trusted, have to check (read re-do) the thermal compound. ... Before fooling around with the processor chip, I did the fastest shutdown I could (short of the reset button) and looked at the temperature known to the configuration BIOS. It was the same placid 39C +/- 1C. This leaves me fairly sure that lmmon is wrong; if it had been over 100C less than fifteen seconds before, the temperature would still have been decaying. OTOH, lmmon's value did float/bobble like a real reading. Is there another way to examine the CPU temperature on a P4 while FreeBSD is running? And, of course, there's still the original problem. In the UNIX v5 documentation for a system panic, one entry read ``Definitely hardware or software error.'' The next read ``Like the previous, but produced elsewhere.'' My restart must be the one Produced Elsewhere. Mark Terribile __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
