Another Hardware Issue
I have another machine which will not boot the first time after a power on. It gives the following messages: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a panic: vm_fault: fault on nofault entry, addr: c6303000 syncing disks... 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 giving up on 1 buffers Uptime: 16s However, if after that you hit any key on the console or the reset button on the front panel it will boot and run just fine. This is running FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE-p13. It has run fine for years until this started. There is no point to updating it as it has no users. It has no running services. It only sends a couple of status emails daily and does frequent rcp's to my production servers. Are we about to lose the motherboard? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Other idea? Best regards, Olivier Oliver, There has been problems with the SMP kernel in the past, but it was supposed to be fixed around 5.4. From memory there was a patch for 5.3 which was incorporated in 5.4 and 6.0. I say supposed as there have been reports of random reboots with 5.4 and 6.0 running SMP - see the archives. The usual response is that it is a hardware related, but I am not too sure. In my case it was on a dual redundant power supply etc quad processor machine which ran the diagnostics with no problem for several days. It looks like a load problem to me. I ran out of time trying to fix the machine and had to go down a different route. Hope this helps a little Rob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hardware issue
There used to be a list for FreeBSD hardware vendors. I bought a U-Server with Intel Celeron CPU recently from eRacks.com that turns out to be extremely noisy. I am planning on returning it but if I can find where I can get quiet hit-sink fan for it, I might retain it instead of wasting money and time sending it back-n-forth. This is my second purchase from this group but I don't think there will be a third one! Please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, Saffa Kemokai, MCP, MCSA, MCSE (W2K) Tel.
