Subject:   freebsd 4.2 freezes on my box

I have a PII 266 with 256 ram that I have installed freebsd on.

I installed Xfree86 and am running kde. if I run kvt the box freezes
entirely. you can't so much as telnet to the box. it is completely hung.
there is nothing in the messages file either about a panic or problem.

anyone have any idea about what causes this. I can also be running other
applications and it will hang such as vi or the compiler or anything. I
think it is a kernel problem but it could be related to the X server as
well.

Since I saw no report of it I submitted a problem report.
uname -a reveals

FreeBSD passion.xtdl.com 4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #0: Mon Nov 20
13:02:55
 GMT 2000     jkh@bento.FreeBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386


so I have the default generic kernel. Is there something I have to play with
to get it working.

thanks

Sean
