I haven't had any Hard Locks since I upgraded the BIOS on my
BP6 from LP to RU and cvsup/buildworld/installworld again.
At the moment I'm thinking that my system is stable again, but
won't feel comfortable with that until I do some more stress
testing. I've gotten a panic, but I think its unrelated.
( that's made this harder, multiple issues causing problems )
So if people are still having their BP6 do Hard Locks I would
suggest they make sure they're running the RU version of the
BIOS and the latest version of -current.
Thanks for the tip however. If I continue to have Hard Locks
I'll try slowing down the IDE drives on the system.

After moving to ATA33 in early 2001, I haven't had any more hard locks. This was under -stable, but you might want to check your ATA drive setup before proceeding.Hello,I also had a lockup this morning, with both /usr/src and /usr/obj on the local dma33 IDE disk, hooked on the BX ata canal (instead of the HPT366). the BP6 is on a serial console, but I still have to look how to get back to DDB when it is frozen (I run a plain vanilla GENERIC+SMP, so I may have to add other specific options - later) TfH To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
