Ok, I have tried the latest snapshot. With it, I got panic on buildkernel, buildworld and even during the xorg compilation. All I did is keep trying building the kernel/world with the hope I don't hit the panic. Sometimes it takes couple of panic (occurs at different places for each build) before it actually build without panic. For xorg, I only tried once but it also gave me panic. After that I gave up. I think this has something to do with unstable hardware, (bad hard disk for example), so I try to install FreeBSD 6.0-release but it always failed when trying to copy the base into the hard disk (during the installation process) but no panic. The hard disk also takes a 'very' long time to transfer big files (~500MB). Maybe the problem is caused by the bad hard disk but not the code. Right now I'm using Windows XP and it works 'OK' but I can hear uncommon sound comes from the hard disk especially during heavy I/O operation though. I think I am going to stick to Windows XP for a while until the hard disk is totally broken or maybe I should get a new hard disk for my dual-core xpc shuttle :-) Thanks. Farid Kamarudin
