Hi, I'm bewildered and looking for clues ... I'm running -current, cvsup'd and rebuild world as of yesterday: FreeBSD stage.bsdhome.com 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #0: Sun Nov 12 18:30:15 EST 2000 bsd@stage.bsdhome.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 I went to install X from Ports and during extraction, my system just turned itself off! Not reboot, mind you, it powered down. I use a serial console so I would be able to tell if any messages printed out just before that final event, but there's nothing. Nothing in /var/log/messages either. Here are the last few messages of the X install via ports: [root@stage]:/XFree86- make install ===> Extracting for XFree86-3.3.6_4 >> Checksum OK for xc/X336src-1.tgz. >> Checksum OK for xc/X336src-2.tgz. >> Checksum OK for xc/fix-01-r128. >> Checksum OK for xc/fix-04-s3trio3d2x. >> Checksum OK for xc/fix-05-s3trio3d. >> Checksum OK for xc/fix-06-s3trio3d2x. >> Checksum OK for xc/fix-07-s3trio64v2gx+netfinity. >> Checksum OK for xc/fix-08-s3savage_ix+mx. [extract for a minute or two, then powerdown] So, I rebuild my world, reboot and try again ... it powered down at the exact same spot! Any ideas? Note that this machine has successfully been completing buildworld/kernel installkernel/world's for the last several months.
