Message-ID: <1994Jan16.215309.7660@sifon.cc.mcgill.ca> Sender: news@sifon.cc.mcgill.ca Organization: SOCS, McGill University, Montreal, Canada References: <2hc3rd$qmb@wzv.win.tue.nl> <hastyCJqqoC.750@netcom.com> Date: Sun, 16 Jan 1994 21:53:09 GMT Lines: 24 Aroooo. I've got NetBSD running on my 486/66/Micronics/IDE/16 Meg machine, with XFree 2.0. Every now and then (not often enough to notice a pattern) the machine just up and reboots itself. Outa nowhere. It's like some crazy episode of Star Trek or something... Has anyone ever had this problem? Seen it? Know of it? What causes it? How to fix it? Last time it happened, I had just set up the slip interface, ended the cu job, and typed 'ls' at my shell.... Thanks for any input anyone can give me on this. Later, Colin. -- Colin Bradley fox@binkley.cs.mcgill.ca Chewing the same piece of gum since '77.
