With dual or quad CPU's I cannot get our iNET Servers to lockup or crash. Well ok, if I put in some bad memory it will.
You may want to check that SuperMicro Power Supply. It may be flakey.
In terms of FreeBSD, I can tell you that it is -not- an OS problem. It is entirely -hardware-.
Long after the price is forgotton, the sweet taste of quality remains.

Speaking of supermicro, I have a dual xeon 2.8 server stopped right now, because it keeps segfaulting. I'm using FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE, but this has always happened since 5.2.1-RELEASE. This server is stopped for some 8 months now..
It will run fine with one CPU (ie can buildworld for days); I've tested the 4GB RAM with various memory tester programs and it has always come up fine. When I add the 2nd processor, buildworld will start to randomly segfault, and the server will eventually lock up completely.
I've also tried single-proc but alternating between the two, to rule out a screwed up processor. Also tried resetting BIOS to defaults, and HTT is turned off.
Is this a problem with FreeBSD itself? Anyone has similar problems ?
Supermicro told me that they have stopped verifying their new boards
with FreeBSD because "most users have moved to Fedora Core or Mandrake", which I find somewhat hard to believe.
If you buy their systems or boards, it would be a good idea to let them
know of the OS choice.
