> I feel for you John, I've lost many nights sleep in the last couple
weeks trying to understand why this production box was crashing.  I
was really surprised to see this start happening, normally my freebsd
boxes have uptimes in terms of years, not hours.

Thanks for the sentiment, at last I have been able to smile about this problem - maybe we should start a support group ... I'll start ... Hi, I'm John and I'm a failing sys admin, I haven't had a panic for 2 hours now and I'm taking it just 1 tick at a time ;-)

Just to share with the group, I had an email from Kris off of the list that made a lot of sense. I'm beginning to agree with him that it is probably a hardware issue. I'll go quiet now and spend some money on different hardware. For anyone who finds this thread on Google, I can only echo Michael's comments - the thing that makes these panics so infuriating is that even with dodgy old hardware FreeBSD has always proven to be a very stable OS for me and as you can see, the community is always willing to help.

Thanks to all that have spent time on this issue for me.

  John
