Hi, I'm currently trying to use a FreeBSD-2.0 box as a news server with innd
1.4sec on our network. I keep having a strange problem where the box will
'crash' in such a way that it is inaccessable from both the network and the
console. Physically examining the machine while it is in this state reveals
that the hard drive access light is solid on. Previous to the 'crash', the
machine will run fine for a seemingly random amount of time. Anywhere from
2 hours to 2 days, then /boom!/ Any clues or suggestions would be apprec-
iated!
The configuration of the box is:
486/40DX
16megs Ram
Adaptec 1542c SCSI controller
Micropolis 2.0gig Hard Drive
Generic VGA card
3com 3c509 ethernet Card
