Build a kernel with INVARIANTS and DDB options and see if you get dumped to the console debugger following a trap or panic at some point. Also, obviously, make sure that you're not getting any power surges or anything of the sort; basically anything hardware-related that could possibly cause a reboot. If you're plugged into a series-connected outlet, I would advise to try a different outlet. If you're plugged into a UPS, make sure that the load on it is not too high. -- Bosko Milekic [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
