When you say it is reproduceable, do you mean that it always fails at the same point? If you have a truly reproduceable case, then you could break to the kernel debugger (the procedure is described in -- if I recall correctly -- the Developers' Handbook) and get information that a developer could use to analyze the situation. If it isn't reliably reproduceable in that sense, it's still likely to be hardware, even if software tests have been passing. Heat-related issues would be a good guess; perhaps you can monitor some motherboard temperature values. Good luck. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
