Hello
I just installed 5.3 RELEASE on a new server today and everytime I try to compile someting for more than five minutes it crashes.
The message it said in the console is something like "page fault while in kernel mode", excuse-me if I don't remember it verbatim but I just drove home from the datacenter and it crashed again.
The setup is a P4 Xeon HT with a Asus PC-DL motherboard and four serial ata drives in RAID 10 mode using vinum. I actually had to use the gvinum hack to get the system to boot.
Why the hell doesn't it reboot after it crashes? Is there anything I can to to make it reboot in case o a crash? And, can I somehow keep it from crashing?
I'm a FreeBSD fan of several years, having used it exclusively for servers since 4.3 and now I'm seriously considering throwing this thing out and installing some sort of Linux. It took me the whole day to get aroung the vinum troubles and now I can't install the ports because it keeps crashing.
Furthermore, what sort of reliability can I expect from this server? It's 10:30 pm and I'm driving to the datacenter to push the reset button for the third time.
Thanks for any help.
