The machine has been running pretty solid for the last couple of months.
This of course doesn't mean it's not a hardware problem. I'll know for sure
in a couple of days I guess (if it keeps crashing with strange errors).
Kernel/world is compiled only with standard flags. Nothing in make.conf
except "CPUTYPE?=athlon-xp" (which means -O2 is used). I reverted back to a
non-debug kernel a few weeks ago when the makefiles were changed to only use
-O for debug-kernels. However, after switching mpsafenet back on (replaced
NFS (which locked up for me with mpsafenet) with geom_gate) I have some
spare cycles to burn on the machine. I might as well use a debug-kernel in
case this isn't a hardware problem.
