Can't install/upgrade/remove ports (somewhat resolved)

[Dragoncrest]

         It was happening to all ports.  I can't even install fresh.  But 
it seems that the problem I'm having with that server is much bigger than 
just the ports.  I'm running into all kinds of joy and fun trying to get it 
to behave.  It's panicking on compiles and spontaneously rebooting.  I'm 
suspect of either something in the hardware or the ram, but I'm not sure 
which.  I've already switched over to my backup server and I'm just going 
to take this one and throw the book at it to see what breaks and then fix 
it from there.
