Ah! Maybe that's my problem! I have a SS20 with 2 50MHz modules in it and it sort of randomly halts as well...though I've had uptimes as long as 6 days before a freeze. I just got the machine and had assumed it was a kernel 2.4 issue because that was the first version that I compiled for SMP, but your mail sheds new light on the situation. Sorry I don't have any actual suggestions, but thank you because I would never have known the tidbit from the Solaris docs. Guess it's time to go get a hypersparc module or two :) -- Shawn Boyette :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: http://mdxi.collapsar.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- He had reached the stage in a young man's life when the grimness of the general human situation becomes clear; and the realization of this causes the ambition to halt awhile. -- Thomas Hardy, Return of the Native
