I've had FreeBSD 5.4 randomly reboot on high quality hardware... Intel made board, Intel chipset, Intel CPU, Intel approved RAM, and a Beefy 550W Fortron active PFC power supply. In hindsight, as I sit here running 6.0-RELEASE and 6.1-PRERELEASE on my systems, the FreeBSD 5.x series was slow and buggy as hell. I don't fault the developers or the release engineering team, they did the best they could with a system that needed to be massively reworked to stay relevant. Anyways, After FreeBSD 5.5 is release the 5.x series will be officially put down, like a rabid dog and we will deny that it ever existed, like Netscape 5 :-). This means that you have two options, upgrade to 6.x or upgrade to 6.x. If It were up to me then I would just skip 6.0-RELEASE and go straight to 6.1-PRERELEASE (RELENG_6), then cvsup to RELENG_6_1 when it's officially released. Where possible I would wipe the system and install a fresh copy, if not possible then I would do a cvsup upgrade. Be sure to run a 'mergemaster -p' and then when you run the standard mergemaster don't blindly hit "i" because at some point in the stage it will ask you to install a new version of passwd and group. -- BSD Podcasts @ http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
