Hi,

Randomly my FreeBSD server partically locks.  I can open a socket to it, but
nothing comes out.  I can switch vty's with no problem, and type, but once I
press enter after a username to login (locally) it does nothing. 
Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't reboot it - I have to reset it manually.

I have had this happen on 3 machines so far.  The machine in question is a :

Pentium 90
SIS Gigabyte motherboard
32MB RAM
4GB Seagate hard drive
1GB Quantum Fireball drive (both SCSI)
NCR SCSI controller
NE2000 network card (ISA)

Running FreeBSD 2.1.0.  I can post my kernel config if required.  E-mail
replies preferable.

Thanks,
Andrew
