Re: Desperate - FreeBSD 6.0 Freezing

2006-02-26 Thread Derek Ragona

Grant,

The first few things I would try are:
Update the BIOS, and any other firmware that may have an update.
Run the Dell diagnostics and make sure there are no errors the diagnostics 
finds.

Check your temperatures, excess temperature can cause system lockups.

If you do those and still are getting a lockup, You may want to try 
removing the DRAC card, and testing to see if this is the source of the 
problem.


Hardware conflicts are the hardest to find.  Your lockups are not creating 
any crash information or even logging from the OS so it leads me to believe 
these are in the hardware.  PC platforms while they are always improving, 
do still suffer from the heritage which allowed for hardware conflicts.  It 
could be through the way you are using the hardware/software that these 
have just come to be exposed.

Derek, all,

Regarding my recent system freeze ups, here is a list of software and

in port 3396 for a client who required remote access to it. I am still 
awaiting work to see if thier connection attempts coincided with the freez 
ups. I have since removed the firewall rule.
