If it's PATA, check the cabling, then check it again, and just to make sure, replace the cable even if the system used to work flawlessly in the past. I've had this on a few servers, but replacing the cables always fixed the problem for me. Oh, btw, you can reproduce this exact behavior on diskless workstations with an NFS-mounted swap. IIRC, it even happened on VERY slow hardware with GBDE or GELI-encrypted swap partitions; but I'm not 100% sure it was due to slowness (it could have been a bad cabling issue as well). > -- > Oliver Lehmann > http://www.pofo.de/ > http://wishlist.ans-netz.de/ -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
