panic? i386 on dell duo
something panicked my dell. more than twice. i have loaded, the i386 7.2-R Dvd. the panic was something like PHY#1 panic[y/n]y then something about cpu 0 being involved. i have the 8.0 rc3 bootonly.iso cd. should i try that? or did dell ship me a bad computer? ideas? gary -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.31a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
